When you first lay eyes on the Forte Exotic Zebra, you'll go gaga over the exotic Zebra top. The styling is enhanced thanks to 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 which positions the soundhole off center and opens up a larger soundboard.

Want to plug it in? No problem. The Forte Exotic JE includes a complete Fishman system. It is active and includes volume, contour and phase controls along with a built in tuner.
