General
Finished with unique Michael Kelly style tweaks, the Forte Port X tips the concept of an electro-acoustic guitar on its head by shifting the sound-hole and adding specially developed bracing for sublime sound. Since the sound board between the bridge and base of the neck is now uninterrupted, the tone is not only enriched and given more resonance, but actually pulls more the dynamics out of your playing. To amplify the sound with the quality it only deserves, a Fishman Sonicore piezo pickup and matching Presys preamp with tuner has been integrated. Plug this special X-variant of the Forte into your acoustic amp of choice and enjoy the pure acoustic sound shaped by its maple build with stunning Partial Eclipse finish.
