Overview

A Kelly electric guitar for crushing high-output riffs.

Built for high-output performance and aggressive playing styles, the Jackson X Series Kelly KE HT Diablo IV limited-edition electric guitar combines a distinctive offset body design with streamlined electronics and fast neck construction. Developed in collaboration with Blizzard Entertainment’s "Diablo IV" video game, this guitar features detailed Mephisto artwork across the body and additional themed graphics on the back, making it a distinctive piece onstage or in a collection. A nyatoh body pairs with a one-piece neck-through maple neck reinforced with graphite rods for stability and sustain, while the 25.5" scale length and 12–16" compound radius amaranth fingerboard support fast, controlled playability. With 24 jumbo frets and a single covered high-output Jackson humbucker driven by a streamlined volume-only control layout, it delivers direct, focused output. It all equates to a menacing limited-edition Jackson guitar that balances distinctive aesthetics with a reliable, performance-ready platform.

Neck-Through Maple Construction With Graphite Reinforcement

The X Series Kelly's neck-through-body maple neck is reinforced with graphite rods to maintain stability under changing conditions and extended use. This construction improves sustain and note consistency while reducing susceptibility to environmental shifts. Combined with the nyatoh body, the design supports a focused tonal response that remains clear under high gain. The extended neck construction also contributes to smoother upper fret access, making it easier to maintain control during fast passages and lead work.

High-Output Humbucker With Simplified Controls

The Kelly's single covered high-output Jackson humbucking pickup delivers focused output designed for high-gain applications. With only a single volume control and no switching, the signal path remains direct and easy to manage during performance. This simplified configuration allows players to adjust dynamics quickly while maintaining consistent tonal output, making it well suited for rhythm playing, lead work and rapid transitions between passages.

Compound Radius Fingerboard Supports Fast Playability

A 12–16" compound radius amaranth fingerboard provides a curved feel near the nut for comfortable chording and flattens out toward the upper frets for faster lead playing. The 24 jumbo frets create a wide playing surface that supports precise bends and consistent articulation. Paired with a 25.5" scale length, this setup delivers a balanced string response suited for aggressive picking, fast alternate runs and extended techniques without sacrificing control.

Equipped With Hardtail Bridge and Reliable Hardware

The Jackson HT6 string-through-body hardtail bridge provides stable tuning and consistent string tension, supporting accurate intonation and reliable performance. Paired with sealed die-cast tuning machines, the hardware setup is built to handle repeated playing, transport and setup without frequent adjustment. This combination reinforces tuning stability and helps maintain performance consistency across rehearsals and live use.

Limited-Edition Diablo IV Design With Performance Focus

Finished with "Diablo IV"-inspired artwork drawn from Blizzard Entertainment’s video game universe, the Kelly body shape delivers a strong visual identity while maintaining balance and playability. The included Jackson gig bag supports transport and storage, making the instrument easier to manage between sessions. For players seeking a limited-edition electric guitar with high-output electronics, fast neck construction and a streamlined control layout for live performance or practice, the Jackson X Series Kelly KE HT Diablo IV is ready for battle.
