Highlights

  • Unique Tonewood, Unique Sound

    The tonewoods make the guitar, giving it a unique sound and a striking look to go along with it. The Ziricote top adds both brighter top-end to the instrument, while the okoume sides supplement it with a resonant low-end for a well-rounded tone.

  • Forte Ziricote Player Lifestyle

    Supreme Playability

    The Forte Port is built with performers in mind. An ovangkol fretboard on a Comfort C profile mahogany neck makes fretting easy on the hands, with mini-dots to make finding the right notes simple even under low-light conditions. An aggressive cutaway gives ample access to the upper frets, and the 25.5-inch scale length will have any guitar player feeling right at home on this instrument.
