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

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