Jackson 25th Anniversary King Kelly arrives

[RR0849]

NOS with all the "mojo" you'd expect from a guitar with zero maintenance since 2005. But polished up nicely and is a tone monster and joy to play...

Video with the guitar...

The King Kelly shape was originally designed by Bradford Kelly of Heaven and called "Special Explorer". A total of 20 of them were made in 83-84 before the smaller size Kelly without cut-outs took over.

Here's the original J0029 in action in the 80s...

BEAUTIFUL

Sweet! BTW, Greg Crowe had/has a King Kelly without cut-outs... may be the only one like that. And after they downsized it once, they downsized it again for Marty, so there's three different sized Kellys.

Yeah I'd love to have the full size body with no cut-outs some day. Modern Kellys look like a belt buckle on me they are so tiny.

Nice woodchopper!

[pro-fusion]

Do the King Kellys balance better? I'd like to think so, with more weight on the body side of things.

Stunning!

I gotta admit, I'm a Strat/Dinky guy but the Kelly is growing on me. That is one sharp guitar! Ouch!

You know... Sharp... Because it's pointy...

What's up with the CD that's in the case with the Kelly?

i think its a cd documenting progress of construction of the guitar, as it was a special release, cool guitar
