Michael Kelly Forte Port Exotic Java Ebony Acoustic Electric Guitar

A Bold First Impression

Michael Kelly Forte Port Exotic Guitar stuns from the moment it’s seen. With its Java Ebony top and satin black Okoume back and sides, it doesn’t whisper— it sings before it’s strummed. Meanwhile, black hardware sharpens its fierce, elegant look.

Sound Designed Differently

More than a pretty face, this guitar reshapes tradition. With offset soundhole Port Technology and fresh bracing, it opens up a new realm of resonance. As a result, tone flows richer, deeper, and fuller with every note, stirring both player and listener.

Crafted for Comfort and Power

Equipped with a Comfort C mahogany neck and Ovangkol fretboard, it feels smooth and ready. Additionally, 20 frets, a 12-inch radius, and a dual-action truss rod ensure playability stays strong. The extreme cutaway invites fearless movement across the fretboard.

Ready When You Plug In

For those who go electric, the Forte Port Exotic includes Fishman electronics and an under-saddle pickup. Furthermore, the side soundhole boosts tone directly to the player’s ear, adding a layer of inspiration. The result? A guitar built for bold expression.
