Kelly X Series?

[RobRR]

Made in China is the new Made in Japan. Their quality standards have increased greatly in the last decade.

Wrong, made in Korea is the new Japan, China is the new Korea and India/Indonesia is the new China. Shit rolls downhill, I wonder what poor slave labor country is gonna be the new India? Maybe Somolia?

Vietnam? hell they are making amps.

[RobRR]

Yeah Im sure that would go over well with the older crowd.

Here they are I guess: http://www.jacksonguitars.com/produc...eries=X+Series

The Kelly KEXMG features a basswood body (quilt maple top on trans finishes), three-piece through-body maple neck, compound-radius (12"-16") bound rosewood fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and classic Jackson shark fin inlays, EMG® 81 (bridge) and 85 (neck) pickups, and a Floyd Rose® Special bridge.

I was praying for a single humbucker model that would have been a reminiscent of the Friedman's signature... I would have bought 2 or 3! Hope these ones will sell well and that they will release other KE models!

It would seem that Jackson is trying in these tough economic times to bring more models to their fans. I'm all for it. I'll be the first to admit that when I heard about all of the models they were doing away with that Jackson was just buckling under hard times that it might be the end of all the great guitars they've produced. I never completely lost faith but I was sure as hell worried. It's nice to see that things are looking up.

Colour choice is shit again. They could've done the Kelly & Warrior in green, guess i'll settle for a KEXMG in black w/white bevels.

Me also, I always wanted to have a single Humbucker Warrior and Kelly. Looks like we have to wait for eternity to see these made!
I really dig that Trans-Black Kelly, and the TOM bridge Matte-Black finish one. Also, I wish they bring more cooler colors to the X-Warriors

omfg i want that matte black kelly SO BAD! how much do you think these are gonna go for?

[wilkinsi]

Probably the same as it costs for the other X-Series MII Jacksons. Just guessing.

[SLY]

I just noticed on Jackson website that there is no longer the Kelly in the JS serie. These X models with the KE2 are the last Kelly available.
