Could somebody give me a crash course on the Jackson Kelly Stars?

Whoa whoa whoa, no, well, maybe in Canada. In the states, $400 tops, but more like $250-$300 commonly.

Good call!

I just found some for sale and the asking price was around that... Of course they haven't sold :P

Wish these models were common

Indeed, sucks that they stopped production on such an awesome body shape.

(in the listing)The pickups look like EMGs to me, not sure though.

Hey guys, just a quick update!

Turns out the pictures were SO bad, that it's actually all original. The bridge, and the pickups. The pickups are HB-104's, and the hardware looks brushed chrome. Any opinions?









With all of your powers combined, I believe this is a KS2. Am I correct? Also what would anyone think is a fair price? I'd think absolutely $500 as tops, maybe $400.

[RobRR]

No, thats a KSX. The cheap JT500 trem, solid color, and the sculpting on the neck heel of the neck itself is a dead give away. $250-300 max.

[Metal Spawn]

Rob's right, that's a KSX... The KS2 has different model pickups and the output jack is located underneath the upper body wing.

Some of those pictures look like regular chrome to me, especially the close up of the headstock.

Looks like the neck may have some cool flaming going on.

Even if it is a KSX, these are pretty uncommon that if you really wanted it......

All those pics and no serial # ?

[MetalHeadMat]

Thanks guys! The KSX isn't even worth my time. If it was in my city I'd get it, but it's about 4 hours away, not worth it to me imo.

I was going to ask him but he only responds to me every 3 days so it didn't seem worth the wait.

A big plus about it is that a regular Schaller JT590 fits that rout perfectly! Throw a DK2 or DXMG neck on it and thatd be one SICK guitar! I like those pickups too, I never saw or heard of those before! If you can get it cheap enough Id say you should still go for it!

I do love Schaller's, and those pickups really do intrigue me. Dunno how low he'll go if he's looking for $700 though.
