From Michael Kelly:

"The Forte Port 12 Randy Jackson of Zebra Signature builds on the design and innovative technology of Forte Port acoustic guitars. This visually striking guitar combines exotic ziricote wood with a natural gloss finish. The styling is further enhanced with mother-of-pearl inlays that adorn the ovangkol fingerboard, including the Forte Celtic knot and black diecast tuners.

Michael Kelly guitars are built to deliver the best possible sound using unique bracing and construction for new sound port placements on the instrument. An offset front port creates an unbroken and potent “soundboard” across the top between the neck and the bridge for better resonance and a louder sound. A side port also acts as a personal monitor, projecting sound up so you can hear your playing more clearly.

The Forte Port 12 Randy Jackson of Zebra Signature builds on the design and innovative technology of Forte Port acoustic guitars. The offset sound hole creates a larger resonant area under the strings for improved depth, accuracy and tone. The Zebra Forte Port 12 features Fishman electronics to capture the full and natural sound of the guitar. The active electronics include volume, contour and phase controls along with a built in tuner."
