Tease.Popular is not the same as good
Rare is not the same as valuable
Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get -
Cool pic, though.96xxxxx, 97xxxxx and 98xxxxx serials oftentimes don't indicate '96, '97 and '98.Comment

Alright here's couple of mobile phone pics of the guitars. It is hard to find guitars worth getting but I think I found couple of cool ones.
First one is KE1F from 1997. It doesn't have Friedman signature on the headstock. Also the neck profile is thicker soloist style which I like. I don't know how rare these are or how many were made without friedman sig. I changed the humbucker to Dimarzio X2N and replaced worn and rusted hardware to make it look better.
Couple of weeks later I bought the Kelly I got a 1990 All Over Skulls Soloist from Ebay. The guitar is in good condition but orginal pickups and midboost were long gone. I Installed Dimarzio Super Distortion in the bridge and J200 singles for looks. J200 are hooked up I am going to pull them out and replace them with something better. I also swapped new Schaller trem from Thomann for better looks. The guitar has that Suicidal Tencencies Mike Clark vibe happening.

Very cool! The Musician's Friend Friedman models had gold hardware. Jackson just did this similar with black hardware and signatures, which I believe are even more rare.
I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

No Friedman signature on this one. Could be one of the last ones before the model got discontinued.Originally posted by toejam View Post Very cool!
