Style, substance, and convenience — you get it all with the Forte Port Ziricote Jr. One look tells you this is more than a travel buddy.
The shorter scale length and body size makes it the ideal guitar to take to a practice or performance. Its offset soundhole delivers a noticeable improvement in sonic performance thanks to the substantial amount of uninterrupted soundboard between the neck and bridge. You’ll hear it from the very first strum!
The Forte Port Jr. can dial up a great direct sound from the Fishman® Presys II preamp with bass and treble controls and a built-in tuner. The cutaway body shape gives you access to the highest frets while the Zero End Pin bridge means string changes are super-simple. A lightweight gig bag is included with the guitar. The Forte Port Jr. will quickly become a favorite for songwriting sessions, travel gigs and in the studio.
