Lol… don't pull all-night editing sessions, kids. This is how we end up with mistakes…
Sounds good to me . For the price it appears to be a quality instrument.
Does the all acoustic model sound any different from this acoustic/electric model?
One of the best guitar reviews I’ve seen of any guitar let alone this unique acoustic electric. You covered just about every aspect of the guitar I can think of. Good mix of explaining the specs and your opinions and demoing the various options of playing the sound of the guitar. Keep up the good work! Thanks
"hezident"
with the bass turned up made it more fuller sound like the look of it, One I need to play for myself to give a true opinion.
Because I’m a sucker for oddball, niche-y guitars (especially inexpensive ones) I took the plunge with one of these, only the version I bought (also from Sam Ash) is called the Forte Port Koa 10.
I think I like it; it’s basically a 12-string guitar without the lowest two strings octaved. It’s not satin finished, unfortunately; heavily coated and because it’s koa it’s got a lot more heft to it.
I had my luthier build a custom nut to improve the string spacing for better playability because I mainly fingerpick, but it’s a funky little piece to experiment with that also has really good electronics and I feel that does give you a lot for the money.
Hey dude, I just got this guitar it was advertised as new however it seems i cant get it working on an amp. Is there anything im doing wrong with the on board computer screen or settings that would make it not work with an amp. I feel like they gave me something used and broken then told me it was new. I really dont think its the amp becuase the amp makes sound when plugging in the guitar when the amp is on.
So how did you solve the string changing issue with no bridge pins?
How's the action? For a 10 year old?
Dude. Good demo. But this is not a review. Is an ad for Michael Kelly.
you have audio level differences all over…
Yea dude… You real suck with an Acoustic! ???? ???? ????!
It's Dah-Dario. You don't pronounce the letter, D. Jesus Christ. It's an Italian name.
Devil worshiping music
Good review overall that featured decent acoustic playing. I thought the singing during the song was too effeminate for a male vocalist, but to each his own I guess.
Subbed for cat. Don't disappoint me.
I do love how mellow/smooth elixir acoustic strings sound
Great song, and awesome playing! Thanks for the review…
Hunter your the man bro. I lost all my electric stuff when my wife left. A year later i just now ordered that guitar. I played this one at the music store and the port holes sound amazing coming at my ear from the hole on side top
This was the Last Simon says that We saw… It's been more than a year And We still miss him
Farewell, Simón.
What's this song?
can you give the name of the song ?
I miss Simon. Great review once again Hunter!
Agufish- Thanks for the video! The design looks nice! It’s always nicer to hear the sound of the acoustic guitar in person.
Where is this guitar made from?
Very cool. I'm hoping to eventually get the Koa version of this guitar. Thanks for continuing to do Michael Kelly review videos, even though they don't get as many hits as some of the better known brands. I don't own one, but am very interested in getting one sometime in the future…..
You do a fantastic job, well beyond your years.
Dig it.
You should play acoustic more often. That was great playing.
If you're a metal guitar player, and you can go to acoustic and write a whole song with an acoustic guitar, you know that you have become a true musician. Yeah, you can chug all day long with a shit ton of distortion. But, acoustic proves that you're more versatile and know how to truly play guitar. Great demo, great song, great review
Your singing voice is beautiful as fuck no homo
Just wanted to say that I loved the demo song. And thanks for the review.. as an acoustic player I was really interested in how this modern shape would sound, and overall sounds like a well-rounded affordable guitar! Now if I can get over the appearance of the bridge..
More acoustic guitar reviews! Please
I simply couldn't stand that song in the first 5 minutes, so I skipped.
Hunter, if you ever have to mic an acoustic again please do it closer to the neck. Somehow it sounded more trebly and dead than the piezo.
Ok… but what about the dirty playthrough?
Wow ???? amazing for $300 ????
CMON MAN, ILL SOON GO BANKRUPT, DONT ENCOURAGE ME. THIS IS TOO NICE
