A Forte Focus on Projection and Playing Comfort

With the Forte Port, Michael Kelly emphasizes the guitarist's experience: the "Port Tech" design complements the traditional soundhole by adding a side opening, designed to enhance sound perception on the player's side. The cutaway follows the same logic, facilitating access to higher frets for melodic lines and modern voicings.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This guitar is particularly aimed at intermediate guitarists and stage musicians seeking a responsive and comfortable electro-acoustic. It suits pop, folk, acoustic rock, and fingerstyle very well: the cutaway helps with solos, and the Fishman amplification ensures stable sound reproduction live.

The Sound

The solid spruce top delivers a quick response and beautiful clarity, with a crisp attack that highlights arpeggios and pick playing. The sapele used for the back and sides balances everything with present mids and natural warmth, useful for standing out in a mix. The "Port Tech" design adds a sense of proximity and precision for the player, while the Fishman preamp maintains a credible sound when plugged in, both in rehearsal and on stage.
