    Limited Run USA Custom Shop KE2... to play or not to play.....that is the question...

    Hi All,

    Well sitting home for me to open is my first Jackson Custom Shop KE2.

    I purchased it from AMS. They said it was a limited run of 5 guitars (which I confirmed by calling Jackson/Fender). They made 3 black with white pinstripes and 2 white with black pinstripes.

    It turns out that all of the black ones are in the scratch and dent pile. The other white one that was sold is currently being played.

    I was thinking of just keeping it as a collectors piece and not touching it, but not really sure....til I see it.

    The iconic Warrior has taken an epic leap forward for shredding with its classic tone, looks and playability. Upgraded features such as striking aesthetics, new high-output ceramic-magnet pickups, graphite-reinforced maple necks, bound fingerboards and headstocks, and black hardware deliver more for less. The formidable JS32 Warrior has a basswood body, bolt-on maple speed neck with graphite reinforcement, compound-radius (12”-16”) bound Amaranth fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays, and bound headstock. Other features include dual high-output Jackson humbucking pickups with ceramic magnets and three-way toggle switching, Jackson-branded Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo bridge, black hardware and die-cast tuners



    What do you all think...

        Yes, play it.
        For me, I do collect guitars ...to play. If I don't play them, I sell them.

          It's just a KE2 with EMG's and a pinstripe job. It's not really especially collectible. If you get it, get it to play. If you want to collect a Kelly, the real collectable ones seem to be the 25th anniversary "king" kelly's like Jani has, (With the body cutouts and full size body.) or one of the Friedman signature models.

                They also had or still have a limited WR1 in the same finish options. I nearly went for the black with white pins, but I decided to buy two used Warriors instead... BTW, it makes no sense in buying a guitar if you're not gonna play it.

                  Play it and look after it,
                  If it is worth money, it still will be played or not, provided you dont beat the shit out of it

                    Why can't you still keep it as a "collector's piece" but play it anyway? Hendrix's burnt Strat was still worth a lot of $, and it was not only played, but burned to the ground! Besides, it's not really a collectable Kelly anyway.

                        Hi All,

                        Well I can see the consensus is clear "Play It". My telepathy must have been working last night, I couldn't help plug it in to the Marshall. Holy Sh*t, what a guitar, did I say what a guitar, the Kelly is super sweet.

                        Thanks All,
                        Randy

                          Punish it! Like a Russian whore on a Friday night, ride it hard and leave with a $20.00 on the night stand!

                            Guitars which were celebrity-owned or have some other sort of history are OK for sealed glass cases. Otherwise, play 'em... that's what they're built for.

                              If you're considering not playing with the hopes that some day it might be worth a lot of money then you should really take some classes on investment. Seriously, it's a guitar that was meant to played, not stored away like gold bullion.

                              Use it for what it designed to do or sell it to someone who will. A guitar that's not played is a waste of wire and wood.
