Look what just arrived.

[slash-ed]

Beautiful.

[wakeUPdead]

Oh much envy from me my man, very sweet fiddle.

[dangerous_dave]

Damn you!



I'm jealous lol.


I can only imagine how it plays...

Great score, man!

[The Mitch]

DAMN! A quilted KE1!
I love it!
Semms like she is in very good condition

[Magou]

WOW...
I'm not really a Kelly lover, but that Marty Friedman signature is awesome...

[jdr94]

hell yeah!! that thing is swweeeeeeeet. congrats on the purchase.

[Johnnyryche]

That is F'n cool! Congrats on a sweet kelly. You don't see too many of those around so hang on to it.

By the way, I've only seen 9 KE1Ts and only 1 with a trans black quilt like yours (and I should have bought that one when I had the chance). Can you let me know what the serial number is? Thanks.

[ExodusAttack]

BTW, Exodus, did you pay $1633 german marks for the guitar? That is just $1225. If so, that is one heck of a deal. Congrats.

Heh, no, that's the original receipt from the seller. He traded something for it in 2000.

I have just a little over 1400usd in it. In euros that's not a lot for a guitar of this caliber.
Thanks to each and every one of you.

Cool man, I had the Floyd version, awsome guitar!

The lack of a floyd is one of the things I love about this guitar.

That would be The Rip N' Tear by Overkill.

You got it.

Best sounding guitar with a JB in it ever

I think so too. I've never been a fan of the JB but it seems to sound nicer than usual in this Kelly.


Does anyone have more info regarding these tune-o-matic versions of the Friedman Kelly? I can only find it in the 2000 Jackson catalog, so I'm assuming they made these only for one year?

Yeah, this one's going to stay with me for a long while. The serial is U07507. Late '99, am I right?

[destructin_od]

You are right it is a late '99.

[zeegler]

Awesome Kelly. I would have one of those if they weren't so small. Too bad Marty is a midget.

Dave and Marty sigs rule!!!

[ExodusAttack]

Too bad Marty is a midget.

I'm a midget too (5ft8) so no wonder I like this one so much.:ROTF:

Hey 5'-8" aint too bad. I think our drummer is the same height, or maybe a tad shorter.

How does it balance? The Kelly I had didn't balance for shit, but it was just a standard with bolt-on neck, and a floyd.

How tall is Marty anyway?

Unfortunately, this Kelly seems to be a bit neck heavy too. Wide leather strap helped a bit, but it still needs some getting used to.

edit:
long --> tall. Excuse my finglish.

[jk2171]

Awesome guitar, bro! I have the same one but the one with the fixed Kahler bridge. I'm also interested to see how many of these string-thru sigs were available. Congrats!!
