Description
Jackson's X Series Kelly KEXS is loud in every meaning of the word. From its face-melting pickups to its aggressive shattered mirror finish, this axe was built to shred.
Projecting a thick, rich resonance with ample sustain, the mahogany body on the X Series Kelly KEXS is sure to impress high-gain players. It provides the perfect tone for everything extreme, whether you prefer ripping on speed metal solos or sludgy drop-tuned riffs. Despite its brutal aesthetic, the body on this Jackson is surprisingly comfortable. Whether you're seated or standing, its ergonomic contours and excellent weight distribution make it a joy to riff on.
The Kelly KEXS sports a lightning-fast maple neck with a through-body design, giving it truckloads of sustain and an excellent in-hand feel. Its neck sports a 12" - 16" compound radius laurel fingerboard that flattens out in the upper register, an advanced design that allows for high-speed runs, wide string bends, and insane vibrato. And, with 24 jumbo frets, players will have access to a full two octaves per string for unhindered creative expression.
Powering this beast is a pair of Jackson high-output humbuckers that churn out a wide array of crushing tones. These pickups produce beefy lows, snarling mids, and cutting highs, making them the perfect tool for hardcore music. If you're looking for a little more sonic versatility, though, don't worry - the Kelly KEXS has controls for master volume and master tone, as well as a 3-way toggle pickup switch that opens up an extensive palette of top-notch sounds.
Complete with a Floyd Rose Special Tremolo double-locking vibrato bridge for massive whammy bar abuse, Jackson's X Series Kelly KEXS is a tried and true metal machine.
