Where the Kelly Jackson Guitar Came From

Bradford Kelly originally designed the Kelly electric guitar for the American guitar marker, Jackson Guitars. Bradford was the guitarist for the band Heaven, an Australian heavy metal group.

The Kelly guitar produces a unique tone and sustain because of its distinctive body shape. The neck is very slim, probably the slimmest of all the guitars Jackson makes, and the neck is also outward. This enables the player of the guitar to be able to play high up the neck.

Such a fast neck means that the Kelly guitar can be used to play some very difficult cords. Some famous guitarists who have used the Kelly guitar include Marty Friedman from Megadetha and Adam Darski from Behemoth. The Kelly Jackson electric guitar is very much a Jackson-type guitar. It has a stylish and hard rock look which is popular with heavy metal and harder rock guitarists.

Bradford Kelly died in 2004 but his name will last for many years with the Kelly Guitar being a very popular Jackson model. For a little bit of trivia, it is rumored that Bradford Kelly never received any money for his design of the Kelly guitar. Then again, as a passionate heavy metal guitarist, he may never of even asked for any.

As you can imagine, a guitar played by a heavy metal group will take its fair share of knocks and damage. That is why the Kelly guitar, as with all Jackson guitars, are designed to be robust and to be able to be thrown about without ever being out of tune.

The sound of the Kelly guitar is awesome and if you are a real rock star or just a heavy metal fan, then you should seriously investigate investing in one of these beauties.

A Jackson guitar is meant to be played and to be played hard. The Kelly Jackson guitar is no exception. It is a fantastic design and also comes a great low price.
