Resonant Poplar Body Delivers Signature Tone

The Jackson X Series Kelly KEX gets its resonant lightweight body from gorgeous poplar wings joined to a maple neck-through-body design. Poplar has long been a popular choice of metal guitarists for its singing sustain and articulation. The deep double-cutaway body enables effortless access to even the highest registers, while the beveled edges and pointed headstock shape are archetypal Jackson style. Available in menacing Gloss Black or eye-catching Lime Green Metallic, the KEX makes an instant visual statement befitting the most discerning metal aficionado. Let your playing shine through with the KEX's resonant poplar foundation.

Compound Radius Fingerboard Enables Rhythm and Lead

The Jackson X Series Kelly KEX features a 12-16" compound radius bound laurel fingerboard that morphs along the length of the neck from more rounded at the nut to flatter at the body joint. This provides a feel that facilitates both rhythm playing and soloing. Lower register chording feels natural and comfortable, while the flatter radius near the body makes wide interval stretches, bends and rapid runs easier for lead playing. Generous 24 jumbo frets extend well beyond the cutaway for complete high-register freedom. With its versatile modern feel, the KEX fingerboard lets you seamlessly switch between crunchy riffing and screaming leads.

High-Output Humbuckers Give You Expansive, Full-Bodied Tone

The Jackson X Series Kelly KEX comes loaded with a pair of proprietary Jackson high-output humbucking pickups that hand you the tools to craft your signature metal tones, from soaring leads to chunky rhythms. With ceramic magnets and hot output, these pickups serve up plenty of output and midrange punch, while still retaining articulation and clarity even at extreme gain levels. Dial in the perfect balance of beef and bite with the single volume and tone controls. The three-way toggle switch lets you engage each pickup solo or both together for a wealth of tone-shaping options. Unleash the volcanic roar of the Jackson humbuckers and command the stage.

Stay in Tune With Floyd Rose Special Tremolo

Nothing can derail your high-velocity metal riffing faster than a guitar that won't stay in tune. The Jackson X Series Kelly KEX comes equipped with a Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo system that simply won't budge once you've locked it in. The Floyd Rose Special provides the same exceptional tuning stability as pricier Floyd Rose Original and 1000 Series tremolos at a more affordable cost. String-through-body design enhances resonance and sustain. Dive bombs, squeals and flutter effects are executed flawlessly time after time. Whether you prefer extreme tremolo antics or more subtle warbling, this licensed Floyd Rose Special keeps you rock-solidly in tune through your most demanding sets.
