This guitar's maple neck-through-body design, reinforced with graphite and scarf joint, isn't just about looks. It's a core feature that impacts playability and tone. This construction method means uninterrupted energy transfer throughout the instrument, leading to increased sustain and resonance. The stability provided by this design is crucial for aggressive playing styles, ensuring the guitar holds up under energetic performances. The neck's reinforcement with graphite adds another layer of durability, making the Jackson X Series Kelly™ a reliable choice for touring musicians or anyone needing a guitar that can withstand the test of time and use.
The 12"-16" compound radius laurel fingerboard is a standout feature, offering a unique playing experience. This design means the fingerboard gradually flattens from the nut to the higher frets. The rounded profile near the headstock is ideal for chords and rhythm playing, while the flatter region near the body suits fast soloing and lower action without fret buzz. This thoughtful design caters to both comfort and technical play, allowing guitarists to switch seamlessly between rhythmic and lead roles.
At the heart of the Jackson X Series Kelly™ are its high-output humbucking pickups. These pickups are engineered to capture every nuance of your playing, from the lightest touch to the most aggressive attack. They're voiced for a full, rich tone, ensuring clarity and punch even at high gain settings. This makes the guitar incredibly versatile, suitable for everything from heavy metal to more nuanced musical styles. Whether you're laying down crunchy riffs or soaring solos, these pickups deliver consistent, high-quality sound.
The Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo system adds a dynamic aspect to this guitar's performance. It allows for extreme pitch bends and dive bombs without losing tuning stability, essential for styles that demand expressive vibrato and pitch manipulation. This system not only expands the guitar's sonic capabilities but also adds to its playability, offering smooth, reliable operation. Whether you're using subtle vibrato or performing dramatic pitch shifts, this tremolo system ensures your performance is as stable as it is exciting.
