Jackson X Series Kelly KEX, Ferrari Red

Full Description

Humbucker roar

Equipped with dual Jackson high-output humbuckers, the KEX wields considerable tonal firepower. Made with ceramic magnets, these pickups are nothing short of volcanic. Perfect for thick, dirty power chords or drop tuned chugging. At the higher registers they’ll voice your lead playing with a scorching squeal with plenty of cut to pierce through a mix. Set into a humbucking format, these pickups are warm, powerful and hit with plenty of force. This rounded tone is also excellent for evoking clean, glassy chimes, or lighter bluesy fuzzes if you want to switch up genres. With a three-way pickup selector, you have access to multitude of tones, and thanks to these molten-hot humbuckers, you can be sure each sound will be massive.

Play fast forever

Play like a rock god. The Kelly KEX is ready for any gig, no matter how rowdy. The maple neck contains graphite reinforcement that provides solid stability and resistance to climate and temperature changes, so your playing can always be nothing short of nuclear.

And to make sure you produce the fastest riffs and speediest licks, the neck has a thin shape and cutaway groove into the body. Your hand will have ample room at the top and bottom frets to perform the most demanding of songs. What's more, the KEX uses a neck-through construction, heightening the sustain by providing excellent vibration transference to the poplar body. You'll feel every note.

Luscious laurel fretboard

A canvas of chaos. It's here where the KEX shines, and Jackson have given you a surface to slay on. An all-laurel fingerboard provides a smooth, dreamy response that's effortless to manoeuvre around. It's set out in a compound radius, more curved at the headstock for easy chugging cords but flatter at the higher registers for awesome pitch bends. There's no worry about fretting out here, you can string bend to your heart's content thanks to jumbo fret sizes and the flatter stance at the higher registers. And what Jackson wouldn't be complete with those distinctive shark-fin inlays, made from pearloid and as eye catching as ever.

Floyd-Rose flourish

The KEX is built for top-of-the-line performance. If you want to explore thrilling pitch bends, shimmering vibratos and thrilling divebombs, this is the guitar for you. Floyd Rose are one the most recognisable brands for tremolo systems, and are truly masters at their craft. There's no worry of tuning slips or unreliable string tensions, as this high calibre bridge is double locking to keep your tuning cemented in place. So, you can shred, vibrato and unleash whammy bar flurries with full confidence.
