Bradford Kelly and the Kelly Jackson Guitar

By Vincent Roarden

The Jelly Guitar is made by the US guitar producer Jackson guitars. It was originally designed for them by Bradford Kelly, the lead guitarist of the Australian heavy metal band, Heaven.

The shape of the Kelly is distinctive and it gives a very unique sustain and tone. The neck is also more outwards and is one of the skinniest of all the Jackson guitars. This makes the Kelly guitar very easy to play high up the neck.

Also, the "fast" neck makes it easy to play on. Noteworthy guitarists who used to use the Kelly are Marty Friedman (Megadeth) and Adam Darski (Behemoth). Jackson Guitars became popular for their slim, chic and stylish models. Due to their often innovative, "out of this world look" the guitars became well-liked by harder rock and metal music artists.

The co-creator, Bradford Kelly passed away in 2004 but his name has subsisted with guitarists and with music for a lot of years and will continue to live for a lot more. It is rumored that Bradford Kelly did not get a cent from his co-designing and creating the Jackson Kelly design.

As you can imagine, a guitar played by a heavy metal group will take its fair share of knocks and damage. That is why the Kelly guitar, as with all Jackson guitars, are designed to be robust and to be able to be thrown about without ever being out of tune.

The sound of the Kelly guitar is awesome and if you are a real rock star or just a heavy metal fan, then you should seriously investigate investing in one of these beauties.

This guitar is grand. If you play metal and are looking for a low priced guitar to go well with your fashion this is just right for you. According to the site, "A Jackson guitar is meant to be played, and played hard. Each of our endorsers and players choose Jackson because they know we build our instruments just how they want them. Our instruments are built to handle hard lives on the road, and are ready to take whatever our players will throw at them -- that's just the way it is, and we won't have it any other way. "
