Jackson Pro Jeff Loomis Kelly Ash BK

Ez egy igazán remek gitár, erősítő nélkül akusztikusan megpengetve is hallható az erőteljes hangja. A külseje ellenére igazán univerzális, higain metálon kívül finomabb témákban is helyt áll. A hangszedőknek és a felhasznált faanyagoknak köszönhetően tisztán és artikuláltan szól a hangszer. A floyd rose nagyon jól tartja a hangolást. Ár-érték arányban az egyik legjobb floyd rose-os gitár, amit kaphatsz. Bátran ajánlom mindenkinek, aki szeretne egy jól kinéző feszes artikulált hangú gitárt!

Pickups are noisy as hell—not necessarily in a good way. Without a noise gate, do not get close. But they do sound good.

The balance of this guitar is perfect for me. I play in the classical position when sitting down, and when I stand up, the bridge stays in the same position—right between the legs. I’ve never understood why this is the only guitar I’ve found that stays in the same position when standing. But now I know - the balance!

The Floyd 1500 is great; it stays in tune better than any other guitar I currently own.

The neck and its radius are perfect! It’s definitely different from an Ibanez Wizard or a Solar. This neck wants you to play fast—I love it!

The biggest downside: I tried two FR models and one with a Hipshot bridge. Each of them had fret buzz on the lower strings in tunings below E. For some strange reason, Standard B/C on every model I tried buzzed the same way. I’ve already taken them to two luthiers to fix the issue, but it’s still buzzing…

Another important downside is the lack of stainless-steel frets, which really should be standard at this price point.

Not very important, but maybe useful for potential buyers: the white binding will turn yellow within a year, though the fret “sharks” stay white.

Overall, there are a lot of negative points here, but it’s still the best guitar I’ve ever owned. This guitar just wants you to play it.

Dear Jackson Guitars, I need more Kellys!

I received an instrument with great build quality but the nightmare began when I opened the electronics cavity to investigate a grounding noise. The ground wire to the switch was not soldered and it looked like it had a serious fight with a cat, and it features small cheap Chinese pots. Also the instrument was not setup properly with the pickups touching the strings. I expected a lot from a high end instrument.

I started eyeing this model as soon as it was announced 5 years ago. I never played kelly models before, so I was worried about how comfortable it would be. there is a little bit of a neck dive, but it is still very comfortable play. Classical position - perfect. regular sitting - great. I watched many people say that pickups too hot and noisy, but with good noise gate they are just perfect for me, both rhythm and lead. Cleans are okay, but you are not buying this guitar for some funky/bluesy tones. It feels and plays as good as mine Ibanez prestige and ESP e2. Neck could have been thinner, but it's my personal preference(like american series soloist, new ones are perfect in that department). It's not the best guitar that I own(that would go either to prs custom 24 20th anniv or EBMM JR6 cutlass), but it's great metal machine. HIghly recommend. Everyone who've seen it said it looks mean and cool, and that what is all about.
