Any 24 fret jackson neck will work fine.I'm building one right now myself and I'm using a dinky XL neck, bound with MOP sharkies.Body is gunmetal grey metallic as is the headstock.All black hardware.MODEL6LOVER is providing the Jackson pickups for this one.I shaved the body bevels down a bit because there was some damage in those areas and down sized the body slightly because thats the one thing about a kelly I didn't care for was the large size of the body.Its hard to tell just looking at it that is a little smaller but it feels pretty good.Waiting for the first coats of clear to dry then sand, 3 more coats of clear sand again, let dry then buff it out.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Be aware that if it's not a Kelly neck you will need to redrill two of the holes as they won't line up properly,but other than that any 24 fret neck should work fine.

I use either duplicolor 1502 acrylic lacquer clear or Deft acrylic lacquer clear.For enamel paint I use Sherwin Williams clear(for enamel) don't shoot an enamel clear over lacquer or vise versa.

Evol is right you will have to dowel and redrill the front two holes on a 24 fret DK2 neck to fit a kelly Very simple to do.
