Marty Friedman USA Kelly Spec's (late '90s)

[Mike_Honcho]

Hi All, I'd like to have the Jackson USA Custom Shop recreate Marty Friedman's signature USA Kelly for me, but Jackson no longer has the specs on file. Does anyone by chance have any documentation notating the specs? Thank you!!

the 1996 catalog (also the 97, 98, 99, and 2000 catalogs) has some specs: http://support.jacksonguitars.com/ca...96_catalog.pdf
the 2000 catalog clearly has detailed specs on pages 18/19, but the scan is pretty fuzzy: https://assets.ctfassets.net/4jcppge...00-catalog.pdf you might try finding a better scan or a copy of this catalog

also some listings I found have various specs

The 2000 catalog on pages 18/19 has the info I'm looking for (Nut width, neck shape, radius, etc.) I'll try and track down a more clear copy. Thanks for the info!

I would imagine that the nut width is 1 11/16", the neck shape is a speed neck (.775"-.835"), and the radius is 12"-16" compound, but it doesn't hurt to verify against the catalog. or maybe someone else here can confirm.

You’ ve reminded me I had one of these... Nice guitar!
