Bradford Kelly and the Kelly Jackson Guitar

By Vincent Roarden

Bradford Kelly originally designed the Kelly electric guitar for the American guitar marker, Jackson Guitars. Bradford was the guitarist for the band Heaven, an Australian heavy metal group.

The Kelly guitar produces a unique tone and sustain because of its distinctive body shape. The neck is very slim, probably the slimmest of all the guitars Jackson makes, and the neck is also outward. This enables the player of the guitar to be able to play high up the neck.

This fast neck makes the Kelly easy to play with more difficult cords. Marty Friedman from Megadeth and Adam Darski from Behemoth have all played the Kelly guitar. This guitar keeps with what Jackson is famous and popular for - guitars made for heavy rock and metal guitarists with great looking and stylish shapes and designs.

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.

The Jackson Kelly guitar - like all Jackson guitars - is meant to be played by you forever. You can play as aggressively as you want and your guitar will last. You can bang it around and it will never be 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.
