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.
Bradford Kelly died in 2004 but his name will last for many years with the Kelly Guitar being a very popular Jackson model. For a little bit of trivia, it is rumored that Bradford Kelly never received any money for his design of the Kelly guitar. Then again, as a passionate heavy metal guitarist, he may never of even asked for any.
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.
A Jackson guitar is meant to be played and to be played hard. The Kelly Jackson guitar is no exception. It is a fantastic design and also comes a great low price.
