Need Info on Kelly Custom

[Treachery]

I bought a Jackson Kelly (SN: J5883) from the Custom Shop through Musician's Friend back in 1991. Unforetunately, all paperwork except for the tag was lost during a move. I am curious as to what type of wood it's made out of. I don't even know what model my Kelly is - KE1,2,3 etc.

I filled out the custom shop order form (1991) and placed my order after I saw Marty Friedman playing it in the Holy Wars video. Mine has the Floyd licensed trembolo bridge, an EMG-81 and 22 frets. 3.5 months later, my Kelly arrived. I was in awe of the guitar. I actually had same feeling as when my daughter was born.

Is there way i can find out this information? Can someone tell me about my own Kelly by the serial number?

With a "J" serial #, it's likely a one-of-a-kind custom shop instrument. So a model number does not apply. Post pics, and we might be able to help.

Yes, your guitar would be called Kelly Custom. The "2 letter, single digit designation" did not start until around 1996. Your ser# indicates it is the 40th Jackson neckthru out of the Custom Shop (that was in Ontario, CA) in 1991.
