Bradford Kelly and the Kelly Jackson Guitar

The Jelly Guitar is made by the US guitar producer Jackson guitars. It was originally designed for them by Bradford Kelly, the lead guitarist of the Australian heavy metal band, Heaven.

The shape of the Kelly is distinctive and it gives a very unique sustain and tone. The neck is also more outwards and is one of the skinniest of all the Jackson guitars. This makes the Kelly guitar very easy to play high up the neck.

This fast neck makes the Kelly easy to play with more difficult cords. Marty Friedman from Megadeth and Adam Darski from Behemoth have all played the Kelly guitar. This guitar keeps with what Jackson is famous and popular for - guitars made for heavy rock and metal guitarists with great looking and stylish shapes and designs.

In 2004, Bradford Kelly died. Interestingly, it has been said that Kelly received no remuneration from his design of the Kelly guitar. However, his name will continue for many more years to come with the Kelly guitar being a very popular design from the Jackson guitar company.

Most guitars that are used in a heavy metal band needs to be robust enough to absorb all the knocks that it takes from being thrown about and played very hard. As with all the guitars made by Jackson, the Kelly Jackson guitar is constructed so that it can be thrown about and never be out of tune.

This guitar is grand. If you play metal and are looking for a low priced guitar to go well with your fashion this is just right for you.

Our instruments are built to handle hard lives on the road, and are ready to take whatever our players will throw at them — that's just the way it is, and we won't have it any other way. "
