Description
The Jackson Pro Plus Series Signature Brandon Ellis Kelly KE27 Maple in Gold Crackle is built for players who want modern metal precision with extended range and a bold stage look to match. If you are chasing tight low tunings, fast lead work, and a platform that feels dialed in for technical playing, this model delivers. The sharp Kelly body paired with that Gold Crackle finish makes a statement before you even plug in.
The nyatoh body is matched with a neck-thru maple neck reinforced with graphite for added stability and sustain. You get a 25.1 inch scale length that keeps tension comfortable while still handling lower tunings well. The 12 to 16 inch compound radius maple fingerboard is loaded with 27 jumbo stainless steel frets, giving you extra upper register access and a slick, durable feel under your fingers. The Seymour Duncan Brandon Ellis Signature Dyad Parallel Axis bridge pickup pushes high output with strong clarity and bite, while the PA-STK neck pickup keeps things smooth and articulate for leads. A push pull volume control lets you switch the bridge pickup between series and parallel, giving you both full humbucker punch and a slightly brighter, more open voice without losing hum cancellation.
The top-mount Gotoh GE1996T double-locking tremolo is built for aggressive use while staying stable, and the Floyd Rose 1000 Series R2 locking nut provides Brandon's preferred narrower string spacing for faster playing. Gold hardware ties the whole look together, and Jackson sealed die-cast tuners help keep things locked in. We like this one because it feels purpose-built for modern metal players who need speed, clarity, and reliability in one focused instrument. It is a serious performance guitar that does not get in your way.
