  • My First Jackson...ever:P

    Well, I finally got my KE2 Kelly in silver swirl. It came a bit roughed up(barely- just one super tiny chip other than what the auction listed), but in great condition. I only got to look at it for about 10 minutes, then had to go back to school

    The thing plays great, however it is way out of tune, but I can fix that later today(sort of..never had a floyd before..). Just a few small chips in the finish, which you can't see, unless if you look HARD. Nothing else I can tell you yet, until later today or tomorrow. But was well worth the $$

    Only complaint is the neck heavy problem found in kellys...but its not a big issue at all.

    First time playing a USA select BTW, and you can see more quality put into these guitars than the pro series, mg, etc...(the frets especially).

    Also my first floyd rose equipped bridge, so any advice on tuning this monster to perfection would be appreciated. Also the floyd is nice, but it has some corrosion starting on some of the screws, but its not a big deal.

    Anyway, its great, better than what I expected, and I'll post some pics today or tomorrow

    Bit of a change from playing a Gibson Les Paul and a Ovation Preacher

    Perhaps also worth mentioning:
    The Jackson case is a bit screwed up.
    When I close it, it comes slightly out of place in the back on the right side, and I need to apply pressure to close it correctly. I heard of people having similar problems, but I'm not 100% sure.
    I'll look into it a bit more when I get home later so I can get a more detailed description on what I mean
    It might just be a loose screw or something also.

          Yea, infraction to rule #776. "Failure to Post Pics on Aquiring a New Guitar". Your case maybe tweaked a little from where it was stored or how it was used/abused/or shipped. Is it a molded plastic case with the aluminum trim? You may be able to re-tweak it by bending the hinge back or forward, or the aluminum surround bezel on the case. Watch carefully as you close the case to see where it is binding. As for your rust you could use a little Tri-flow or Break Free-CLP lubricant/cleaners. I use the squeeze bottle of CLP.
          Tone is like Art: Your opinion is valid. Listen, learn, have fun, draw your own conclusions.

                              see if that works

                              Blurry for some, but it is an old camera.

                              Also I took one pic of my ovation preacher, late 1970's...77? or so. Its in good condition, with only a few marks.

                              I'll get some later, hopefully outside and a different camera, or I'll get someone else who can take better pictures than me.

                              Now, I got to get to the floyd...
