Overview

Pro-level design and appointments for the metal aficionado.

The Jackson KE2 Kelly USA electric guitar delivers pro-level performance with its sleek, ergonomic design. This made-in-USA instrument features a quartersawn maple neck-through-body construction for enhanced sustain and rich, resonant tone. Its compound radius ebony fingerboard offers smooth playability, while a contoured alder and maple body provides a lightweight, comfortable feel. For versatile tone shaping, the KE2 Kelly is equipped with Seymour Duncan Jazz and JB humbucker pickups. An Original Floyd Rose tremolo bridge enables you to add expressive pitch effects, from subtle warbling to dive bombs. With its high-end components and nimble design, the Jackson KE2 Kelly empowers you to play with passion and precision.

Sustain for Days With a Neck-Through Design

The Jackson KE2 Kelly's quartersawn maple neck runs continuously through the guitar's center, with wings of lightweight alder on either side. This neck-through-body construction promotes incredible sustain, allowing your notes to bloom with richness and depth. The unimpeded maple tonewood vibrates freely from nut to bridge, resulting in resonant tones that sing. Whether you let chords ring out or play screaming leads, the KE2 Kelly's neck-through design provides the foundation for outstanding tone and sustain.

Smooth Riffs and Solos With an Ebony Fingerboard

An ebony fingerboard graces the maple neck of the KE2 Kelly, offering a smooth surface for fast riffing and precise soloing. Ebony has a tighter grain compared to rosewood, providing a more consistent feel across the fingerboard. The jumbo frets are expertly finished for silky transitions up and down the neck. A compound radius starts at a comfortable 12" at the nut and flattens to 16" at the body, allowing for easy chording as well as low-action bends higher up. The KE2 Kelly's ebony fingerboard gives you the speed you need to play with precision and passion.

Seymour Duncan Pickups for Versatile Tonal Palette

A pair of Seymour Duncan humbuckers equip the KE2 Kelly with exceptional tonal range. The Jazz SH-2N pickup in the neck position produces warm, round tones, perfect for jazz, blues and classic rock. When you switch to the hot-rodded JB TB4 bridge pickup, you get a powerful crunch for aggressive metal and hard rock. With a 5-way blade switch, you can blend the pickups, access coil-split tones and more. Whether you want thick leads, chunky rhythms or quacky splits, the KE2 Kelly's Seymour Duncan pickups have you covered.

Expressive Pitch Effects With Original Floyd Rose Tremolo

No extreme rock guitar is complete without a Floyd Rose tremolo bridge and the KE2 Kelly comes loaded with an Original Floyd Rose. This double-locking trem lets you perform radical dives, warp pitch with shimmering warbles and anything in between. Tune stability is excellent thanks to the locking nut and fine tuners on the bridge. The KE2 Kelly gives you the smooth, responsive tremolo effects that have made Floyd Rose synonymous with shred. Unleash your creativity with the Original Floyd Rose on the Jackson KE2 Kelly.
