The first time I ever saw this guitar was at my Dad's house. He had one before he gave it to me. It has a nice clean sound. I would think the guitar is mainly a guitar made for Metal.

A Little Bit of History
The Jackson Kelly was originally made for the Austrailian heavy metal band Heaven's guitarist Brad Kelly. The Kelly's distinct body shape puts the neck further out than other guitars making it very easy to play high notes. The neck of the Kelly is probably the thinnest of all Jackson guitars. Marty Friedman(Megadeth) and Adam Darski(Behemoth) both used to play the Jackson Kelly but switched respectfully over to Ibanez and ESP guitars. Marty Friedman's model(KE1) was discontinued when he parted with Jackson guitars.
My Rating
If I had to rate this guitar on a scale of 1-10 I would have to say 8.5 or 9. It's such a great guitar and for any metal fan, just by looking at this guitar it gives you the inspiration that you want and need to play the guitar. It's fairly light which I like about it and the neck feels really good(at least to me) in my hands which is a big plus.
Well thanks for reading!
