I just picked up this sweet Kelly from a fellow forum member. You may have seen it already. Beautiful guitar, sounds awesome, neck is great, action is nice. Love how the blue seeps through the shark fin inlays. I must say though, I am having one hell of a time playing this bad boy sitting down! Any secrets? I know, standing up is the key, but I like to sit to play. I had a Gibson Explorer that was much easier to play sitting down. Regardless, sweet axe and it sounds AWESOME!

Nice guitar! I have problems sitting down with my Kelly too. I seem to try to control the balance by pressing my right arm against the body and after a while, it gets painful. I started using a very short strap when sitting down which seems to alleviate the problem.

[StrongDoc]

That's exactly right! my right arm starts killin' me while I play it. I'll try the short strap idea. Thanks!

He looks comfortable, but he can probably play anything with ease.

Cool guitar!

Thanks my man. Yep, I you-tubed Jackson Kelly to check out how other folks do it. I saw those two Friedman videos and he looks hella comfortable. But then again, He's Marty Friedman. I'm Ben Evans...Who? EXACTLY! LOL. In fact, everyone I've seen on You Tube with a Kelly look very comfortable. I am not! Jeesh.

I'm sure there is a learning curve with it though so no worries.

Congrats on the Kelly! You're the second in a week to tease me with a newly acquired Kelly. Looks like I need to order one as there seem to be only two KE2's in L.A. and I don't want white or ghost flames.
