Forte Port Nylon

6-String Acoustic-Electric Guitar

The Forte Port Nylon brings Michael Kelly’s exclusive Port technology to the beloved sound, feel, and dynamics of a nylon-string guitar. With a sitka spruce top and sampler body, this guitar has a natural, warm tone to it that fingerstyle players will love. Integrated Fishman electronics capture every nuance of a performance, making the instrument sound just as good plugged-in as it does acoustically. A comfortable neck profile combined with the extra playability of the nylon strings makes this an excellent guitar for beginners, those making the jump from steel-string, or seasoned flamenco and fingerstyle players alike.

Highlights

  • Unique Port Construction

    Michael Kelly guitars are built to deliver the best possible sound using unique bracing and construction for new sound port placements on the instrument. An offset front port creates an unbroken and potent “soundboard” across the top between the neck and the bridge for better resonance and a louder sound. A side port also acts as a personal monitor, projecting sound up so you can hear your playing more clearly.

    Integrated Fishman® Electronics

    The active amplification system by Fishman® includes an onboard control for volume and one for tone. These are mounted inside of the soundhole for easy access, and this avoids the need to cut a hole in the side of your guitar, maximizing performance.
