Michael Kelly Fishman Presys I Acoustic/Electric Guitar, Forte Porte Nylon String, Java Ebony
The Michael Kelly Forte Port Nylon Java Ebony guitar is a premium acoustic-electric nylon string instrument designed for players seeking a rich, responsive sound with modern playability. Featuring Michael Kelly’s innovative Port Technology, this guitar relocates the traditional soundhole to enhance the soundboard’s resonance and vibrational response, unlocking deeper tonal richness and projection that you can both hear and feel. The offset soundhole and side port design work together to create a more immersive playing experience, allowing you to hear subtle nuances of your technique up close while performing.
Crafted with a stunning Java Ebony top paired with sapele back and sides, the Forte Port Nylon Java Ebony delivers warm and balanced tonal characteristics that are ideal for classical, fingerstyle, or hybrid playing styles. Whether you’re playing unplugged at home or amplified for a live performance, the integrated Fishman Presys I preamp and pickup system ensures your tone remains natural, articulate, and rich when plugged into an amp or PA system.
The comfortable mahogany neck with a “Comfort C" profile and an Ovangkol fretboard makes this guitar a pleasure to play, offering easy fretting and smooth transitions across 20 frets. Its 25.5-inch scale length and thoughtfully designed cutaway allow for effortless navigation into the upper register, making it suitable for players of all levels. With premium components like Savarez strings and MK slot head tuners, this guitar balances performance and style for a versatile musical tool that excels in both practice and performance environments.
