Jackson Pro Series Signature Brandon Ellis Kelly Green Crackle Electric Guitar with Floyd Rose 1000

General

Since 2016, Brandon Ellis has been shaping the sound of Black Dahlia Murder with his own blend of blistering old-school metal and ultra-modern leads. About time for a Jackson-stamped signature model, right? The Jackson Pro Series Brandon Ellis Kelly Signature stomper comes coated in an eighties retro green crackle finish, so you already have a pretty good idea of what you're getting. Big sound, high performance, sweet resonance and screaming sustain are guaranteed by the lightweight poplar body and neck-through construction. The maple neck has been reinforced with graphite, rendering it less sensitive to temperature and humidity shifts for maximum stability. The ebony fretboard has been fitted with 24 jumbo frets, for that extra light feel and reduced playing fatigue, while the compound radius graduates from 12 inches to 16 inches to provide a snug grip when grabbing chords lower down, and a fast and fluid feel as your fret hand moves further up the neck.

The Seymour Duncan Parallel Axis Humbucker

Since this is Ellis Kelly's signature model, it comes loaded with some impressive electronics. The single Seymour Duncan Parallel Axis at the bridge delivers defined humbucker tone framed by a percussive character, sustain for days, and the top-end presence demanded for shaping squealing solos. To dial in, refine and tighten up the sound of this blistering pickup, a single volume pot has been provided. This is then backed by a Floyd Rose double-locking system that retains unrivalled tuning stability alongside a smooth dynamic response when it comes to turning tremolo-arm tricks. More essential details lie in the super-secure Dunlop dual-locking strap buttons, pearloid inlay sharkfin position markers, and the Jackson-standard-issue reversed headstock.
