Jackson Lord of Hatred Kelly

[DanTravis62]

I absolutely love this guitar, but 1300$ for an import seems pretty steep. Still, it's so hard to find a kelly with a hardtail that doesn't suck, so this is 100% on my radar

I liked the first three diablo games, but the new one sucks.

Never liked the Kelly, but they did an X-series shattered mirror version a few years ago that tempted me. Painted neck too.

For the price, I like the Jackson X-series Rhoads and Warriors; neck thru, painted neck; reverse headstock. Rhoads get Duncan Blackouts which I like, IDK why the Warriors in the same X-series don't get blackouts?

There's a Pro Plus Rhoads with a mirror top, but it doesn't have the painted neck.

Not hardtail unfortunately, which puts all of them on the "don't give a shit wont use it live because its too much of a PITA" list

Yeah I saw this yesterday and was surprised by how rad as hell it looks

Right? The artwork is sick. Plus finding a hardtail kelly that isn't one of the bottom of the barrel super cheap ones is nearly impossible, which would make me consider it no matter what the graphic was.

The fact that it looks badass is just a bonus

I dunno. $1300 for China guitar with no hardshell....I'd have to think about that. For whatever reason I have been a lot more impressed by what is coming out from Indonesia under LTD and PRS brands...the electronics are workable out of the box and the fretwork and setup is great. Every chinese guitar I've ever seen or owned minus the IBG lines basically needs new pots+switch before it's gig worthy and usually pickups too. Add to the fact that it's made from some weird mystery woods I've never heard of and I'd probably keep shopping.

If they made this without the graphics I’d buy one, that’s perfect

Yeah if either of them made a guitar that looked like that, sure, but PRS doesn't make anything with those specs and body shape - or even close

If i wanted a grandpa guitar i'd make posts about a grandpa guitar

I've resigned to accept that imports can cost up to 1500 these days.
I kinda want a Kelly but settled for a Ziphos.

I dig it, but obviously not for everyone

The fact that it's basically impossible to find a kelly single hum hardtail that isn't custom shop is complete bullshit

I'd still take an Indonesian LTD, any LTD, over a chinese Jackson. BTW anything with points on it now qualifies as a grandpa guitar, so does all the shidd pants tone stuff.

Yeah I don't own any chinese guitars and have never owned one - but like I said before, Jackson never makes hardtail Kelly's that aren't custom shop

You know this is garbage from the satanic theme to the materials and where it was made. Why Jackaon can't produce this spec with quality made here tells me it's only a matter of time before Jackson closes it's doors.

I've had a few. All but the Sheraton II Pro needed 100% new electronics to be gig worthy. I gigged the Sheraton a few times. The probuckers were great but the switch took a shit on the 2nd or 3rd time out. It's worth it if you are committed to the guitar, otherwise you're looking at a bunch of additional $ or hassle unless you already have the pickups, the pots, the switch, and a hardshell case for that matter.

That’s wicked.. Diablo was a great game tho I haven’t played it since Diablo ii.

Hearing an RT member go full Gaahl-the-faggot-from-fake-Gorgoroth wasn't on my bingo card for today but I'm here for it!

It's sad because if they did like a $2K US production Kelly with a hardtail, basically of ANY finish or style - could even be Highway One or LP Studio style with super thin paint and lacquer

I and hundreds, probably thousands of people would be all over it immediately, even if I had to put it on credit

This is another one of those situations where guitar companies are apparently run by fucking retards that don't understand their customers
