When you first lay eyes on the Forte Port Exotic JE, you can't help but notice the striking appearance thanks to the Java Ebony top. The styling is enhanced thanks to a bold satin black finish on the Okoume back and sides and the addition of black binding and hardware. The sonic performance is just as striking as the Forte Port Exotic's look. These woods combine to give you a full-bodied rich and deep tone. Michael Kelly further improves that performance via their Port Technology which positions the sound hole off center and opens up a larger soundboard.

Want to plug it in? No problem. The Forte Port Exotic JE includes a complete Fishman electronics system with an under saddle pickup.
