  • New Addition - KE2T

    Thanks to a tip from Johhnyryche, I found this killer new KE2T a few weeks ago. [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]





    It's an absolutely sweet guitar, guys. It's really too bad this model was discontinued. Before finding it, I was very close to doing a custom order for a string-through Kelly.

    There's a lot of things about this guitar I'm digging. I'm definitely more of a stratish-shape diehard, but I've been very pleasantly surprised how much I'm enjoying the Kelly body style. The angled neck on Jackson's TOM string-throughs feels familiar to guys like me, who grew up on non-recessed Floyds. It's like meeting up with an old friend. [img]graemlins/images/icons/wink.gif[/img] And I just love the flat-top bound body on this model. Jackson should do more models like that, like a KV or RR.

    The color is black forest, a very dark green. Hard to photograph well. The body pic probably shows the color most accurately.

    I'm might swap out the hardware to chrome or gold. I think that would better accent the green. ...What do you think?

    Nice job! I like the body binding. The chrome hardware would definitely accent the body! [img]graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

        Beautiful guitar. You're a lucky SOB! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

        I would go with gold hardware, personally. I think gold looks nice on green.

            smokin baby [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] i would def. go for the gold hardware on it. it would give it an elegant appeal
            a brass nut would do it some justice too [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

                            What's up with the Kelly balance? Haven't played this babe, yet, but heard it can be a real pain.

                              green and gold is a good combo, but finding replacement ferrules and eyelets may be difficult...not to mention pulling the old ones out of the body.

                              really cool guitar, i like it with no bevels.
