2022-2023 Guitar Sale Fundraiser
PRODUCT DETAILS
This beautiful Koa guitar was generously donated by SIMSCal member Larry Pearson. Manufactured by the Michael Kelly Guitar Co., the Forte Port Koa 10 combines two of their most innovative acoustic guitar designs: Michael Kelly’s Port Technology along with their 10 string set up. The Port Technology offers a fresh new approach to top bracing and soundhole placement that results in a noticeable improvement in sonic performance. It is dynamic, responsive, and has a big, bold sound. The Forte Port Koa 10 features an aggressive cutaway, giving you more fingerboard access and great balance. Combine this with onboard Fishman electronics, 10 strings, and the Koa top, and you get a guitar that sounds as good as it looks. Thank you for donating it, Larry!
