Jackson Pro Jeff Loomis Kelly Ash BK

At First when I was comparing specs of Jackson JL Kelly I thought it features less for more money than my Solar AB1.6FRCAR. And yes, we do not have stainless steel frets but other than that, Kelly is much more comfortable guitar with huge sound. I didn't expect so much difference in neck feel and pickups output. Shape of Kelly may look a bit clumsy but it's actually way more comfortable for fast galloping than Superstrats.

Guitar setup was pretty good out of the box. I see no finish flaws or similar things. -1 for quality as the pickup selector is not working for neck, you need to hold finger on selector to be able to hear neck pickup. This should not happen for guitar in this price range. But I will fix it my on my own, not a big deal.

Pickups are working surprisingly well on *clean channel* for fingerstyle but not as much for hard picking with palm mutes. For that purpose I would pick up my Solar.

Bridge pickup is extremely hot and for some reason i dig it. Guitar acts exactly how it looks like. Its chugging hard on my Rockerverb even without OD (sick).

Neck is superior, I find it even more comfortable than my Ibanez Wizard.

I hate matt finish guitars but this one looks great and I would like to see more Jacksons without pickup ugly frames and with similar potentiometer layouts. At least I am not making my guitar volume down and switch pickup by mistake. (Ibanez, please learn from this guitar how it should be done).

Overall I am really happy with my new Kelly!

Ich habe die Gitarre gleich nach der Bekanntmachung bestellt, und hatte, nach dem lesen der Specs., mit meinem Eindruck recht. "Gutes Ding"
Nach einer ca. 10-Monatigen Wartezeit, kam Sie gut verpackt bei mir an.
Hier begründet sich aber auch die 4er Bewertung bei den Features. Es ist leider kein Koffer dabei. Sollte aber meiner Ansicht nach bei fast 1500.- drin sein.
Sonst gibt es bis auf das verbohrte Schraubenloch beim Elektrofach nichts Negatives zu sagen. :)
Wer also kein Geld für eine Custom Shop, oder US Kelly ausgeben will, macht hier nichts verkehrt.

Kitara on muuten kaikin puolin asiansa ajava, mutta miinusta tulee työn jäljestä ainakin oman kitaran kohdalla. Bodyn reunaan oli jäänyt reunan suuntainen jälki, joka on sen verran näkyvä, että olisi pitäny käsin viimeistellä tehtaalla. Siinä oli siis puun syyt hiotuneet pois rumasti. Ne olisi pitänyt tehtaalla kaivertaa esiin käsityönä. Tämän hintaluokan kitarassa luulisi olevan jo tarkempi laadunvalvonta.
