    Is this trade worth it???

    Hey Dudes whats going on? Just wanted to wish all of you METAL HEADS out there a VERY MERRY X-MAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR! I will try & make this Short....Wondering what some of you would do? My MINT (90's) Kelly KE3 with Reverse Sharks-JT580LP Trem Etc for a (90's) Rhoads EX Pro? Both have the same Trem & from the 90's Etc. What do you guys think? I LOVE my Kelly for sure! It plays Awesome & the Neck is KILLER! I know it's not a U.S.A. or Collectors piece but I think the Rhoads (Down the road ) will be worth more? The Rhoads looks to be in very good condition (A little dusty) but looks good with NO Issues. Any info would be appreciated...Thanks & LONG LIVE THE M-E-T-A-L! \m/

    My Kelly


    Rhoads EX Pro

    The EX was one step below the Professional series, so really you should get a bit of $ from him + the Rhoads for your Kelly. I'm sure you noticed the EX has dot inlays. The cool feature that might tip the scales even, though, is the rear-loading (no pickguard).

      Thanks Ron! I was hoping you would chime on in..........Being you are the JACKSON "V" FREAK GOD/DUDE! Honestly appreciate the words Dude. I know I really don't know what to do. To me the Kelly Body has ALWAYS been the BADDEST BODY IN M-E-T-A-L! \m/! It's a Killer Axe & I don't have any issues with it....Period! I guess I will wait & see what happens. It's funny....I was thinking of trying to get some $$$ from him to but if we do this it's a EVEN TRADE!

        Why are you worried about the future value? Are you using this as an investment? If you love the Kelly that much, just keep it. Why take the chance of getting rid of a guitar you know you love for something you have no idea if you;re going to like. All because it may be worth $50 more in 6 years (which it won't)?

          Thanks for the reply Dude! No i am not wanting it for an investment Etc...I always liked the Rhoads (Old & New RR1-RR3 Etc) & this Axe came up & the Dude is local Yadda/Yadda/Yadda! Honestly the more I have been thinking about it I will probably just keep my Kelly. I am use to & Dig everything about this Axe! Basically when it comes straight down to it (To me anyway) The Kelly is a M-E-T-A-L MACHINE! Thanks Codex!

              See if he'll hang on to it long enough for you to save, then buy it & have both guitars.

              The Kelly is nice, for sure but there's something about a bright red Rhoads that makes it irresistible.

                the Kelly is a bitching guitar and you're already in love with it.

                I think that shape works well as a bolt-on too, whereas a bolt-on Rhoads has always felt not-quite-right to me. That tips the scales towards the Kelly for me.

                        Keep the Kelly and buy the Rhoads if possible. That's the only way I see this coming out good. LOL. Good luck.
                        I want to go out nice and peaceful in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming and hollering like the passengers in his car.

                          How is the Rhoads EX a step below the Professional series when it is a part of the Professional series? Did you look at the headstock?
                          I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

                            Welp, durrrrrrrrr, I guess I didn't! Only the left half showed up on my screen and I was too lazy to scroll right!

                            Anyway, IMO the EX is a lower step because of the inlays. Still a Professional, still MIJ, but dot inlays < sharkies.
