Thanks for all your help, this is a great forum! Everybody's eager to jump in and help. This is my first Kelly and am going to bring it back to life. any color suggestions?????

im going to do my kelly in a snow white with black edges and all black hardware. i saw someone posted a pic of a kelly in orange and black. right now mine is black along with my esp so i need to change one up and the kelly is going to be it since it needs the work.

Don't listen to straycat, he is very confused. I think he has been hanging around Newc too much.

The J is what throws me off the Neck thru's had the J not the bolt on std's should start with a 9.

No. Bolt-ons didn't start with 9 until around 1996-97. They were 96xxxxx until around 2003 when they went to 97xxxxx

The professional series and the pro series are two different things. I know that can be confusing.

No they are very similar, made in the same factory. PRO is part of Professional series, just higher end. See the audiozone link at the bottom of this post and all will be revealed.

Thats a 97-98 looks like to me no neck plate.Not bad you got it a a fair price.

No, it's pre 96.

Stray ya really need to leave these kind of threads to experts like me, Toe & Henrik ----> http://audiozone.dk/index-filer/jack...ofessional.htm

Thanks again for all your help! So just to confirm, #J004417 is a 94'/95' or closer to 90'?

Hi Ron, long time no speak - how are you bro?

[RacerX]

Real good, although I have been dealing with some minor medical issues. How you?

[straycat]

But you're still a DIK!J/K LOL.

I would guess late '94, early '95. I don't think the Pro Series Kelly was made until 1994. At least it doesn't show up in the catalogs on audiozone.dk

The Kelly Std. was around in the early '90s. That was my first Jackson, and it had to be around '92 or '93 when I got it.
