Jackson Kelly love - Show yours off!

[mili9152]

I see lots of love for Vs and Explorers, but what about Jackson Kellys? Who here owns one (or more)?

Personally, I love how Kellys feel, especially when I am playing while standing. The weight distribution is perfect for me.

My kelly started out as a JS30ke, but the only original part left is the body. Swapped for all black hardware, made in USA neck, Seymour Duncan SH-5 custom. Also made it single volume knob (goes to 11!) and filled in the neck pickup slot. Flat black paint




p.s. This is an older pic and it's back in the US while I'm working abroad, so I can't take new ones.

The Kelly looks more like a weapon then a guitar . Sadly last time I tried a japan Kelly there was to much of a neck dive.....same thing with the japan king V and RR models. I've always been a Jackson lover but since the 90's there is no point buying them unless you go with the USA select series.

Yeah, I remember playing a cheapo Kelly live and the neck-dive was unbelievable, but I do think they look ridiculously awesome!

I love the Kelly. It's like a cracked out Explorer. I remember playing an old performer for a while and don't remember it being a neckdiver, at least not half as bad as cheap BC Riches...
