Prelude Port D

          The Prelude Port D features Michael Kelly's Port Technology and a solid spruce top. This fresh new approach to top bracing and soundhole placement results in a noticeable improvement in sonic performance. It is dynamic, responsive and has a big bold sound. There is also a side sound port that acts just like a personal monitor for the player, so that you get a much better idea of the tones you are creating. The Prelude Port D is a dreadnought body offering a good balance of bottom end with highs, giving it the adaptability needed for most players.

ZERO PIN BRIDGE

          It always happens at the worst possible time — you break a string at a gig. What if you could radically shorten the time it takes to change your string? The Michael Kelly Zero Pin Bridge makes that possible.

          Our innovative Zero Pin Bridge allows players to change a string without tools and without the stress of losing or breaking pins. A quick slide into the specially-designed groove makes the inevitable string change as quick and easy as possible!
