Jackson USA KE2 Kelly Electric Guitar - Yellow Bengal

EX DEMO CLEARANCE

The Jackson KE2 Kelly Electric Guitar is part of the USA Select Series - made in the USA.

A Jackson® classic. Alder body, quartersawn eastern hard rock maple neck (through body), compound radius ebony fingerboard, Seymour Duncan® humbucking pickups, Floyd Rose® Original™ tremolo and black hardware.

Pick ups are prvided by Seymour Duncan by way of a TB-4 "JB" in the bridge which is great for heavy blues to heavy rock - plenty of output while retaining the clear highs and agressive harmonics.

The SH-2 Jazz provides an articulate and clear tone. Great for fast runs. The brighter tone has slightly less output and is a good match with most bridge pickups. When distorted, the tone is full and bright. Smooth sustain. Compared to the SH-1 ‘59 Model, the Jazz has slightly less output and a more detailed treble response.

The neck is quatersawn hard maple which is incredibly fast with a slim profile. The neck is a compound radius design where the neck is flatter higher up the neck for fast lead work, bending etc, and rounder down towards the nut to make chording comfier and easier.

In terms of actual playability the changing radius is hardly noticeable at all as it grduates very gently up the neck. However you will find this neck design allows your playing speed to improve - the shredders among you will really appreciate this!! Fast lead runs and string bends high up the ebony neck especially are a doddle and just feels.."right!".

Making these necks is a time consuming process and shows a level of dedication you'd expect from a high end Jackson instrument. In addition, the neck is quatersawn wood which is strong and will be more stable throughout it's life than normal plainsawn wood.

What else can we say - this is a pemium Jackson USA guitar from the USA Select Series, an absolute masterpiece.
