It’s impossible to remain indifferent to Jackson’s Kelly X KEX Gloss Black, whose angular lines and the shine of its finish evoke a raw power cut for metal. Between its ultra-fast neck and its body designed to project a massive sound, it will immediately put you in a position where velocity and intensity are obvious. Its aggressive look leaves no room for doubt: every detail has been designed to release unconstrained expressiveness. It will be an extension of the energy and fury that lie dormant within you, ready to awaken from the first riff.

ARTICLE N° 101333
Jackson's X Series Kelly KEX goes well beyond a striking design. Its poplar body combines lightness and resonance, allowing for tones that are as dynamic as they are striking. Its graphite-reinforced maple neck-through, designed with a beveled joint, offers formidable stability in the face of environmental hazards. The laurel fingerboard, embellished with a white purfling along its entire length, adapts to each movement, with an evolving radius favoring both the frank attack of chords and flexibility in solos.

In the hands, this Kelly proves to be a precision instrument, where each note finds its place with clarity. Between its high-output dual pickups, calibrated to deliver a sharp and powerful sound and its 3-position selector allowing you to navigate between different sound registers, it offers a sound palette that juggles between aggressiveness and harmonic richness, placing you at the controls of a real war machine, ready to roar at the slightest quiver of the strings.

The attention to detail does not stop at the electronics. The Floyd Rose Special vibrato ensures uncompromising expressiveness, allowing devastating dive bombs while maintaining exemplary stability. An instrument designed for hands that seek to express without restraint every nuance of an incisive playing. Whether for unbridled leads or crushing rhythms, it adapts with disconcerting ease, highlighting each nuance with formidable articulation.
