Boasting an electrifying offset angular shape and lightning-fast neck, Jackson X Series Kelly™ models exude metal sophistication, while also delivering massive sound and reliable performance at an exceptional value. The KEX features light wood and resonant poplar body-wings and a through-body maple neck with scarf joint and graphite reinforcement to guard against climate-induced warping. Hosting 24 jumbo frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays, the 12″-16″ compound radius bound laurel fingerboard has a more rounded profile at the nut for natural-feeling chording and riffing and gradually flattens towards the heel for optimal shred articulation and bends. Ready to roar, the KEX is also equipped with a pair of volcanic Jackson high-output humbucking pickups that give this metal beast an expansive voice loaded with crunchy, full-bodied tone ideal for brazen lead work or assertive rhythm runs. Command your sound with a three-way pickup toggle switch, single volume and tone controls, and enjoy exceptional dynamic response and reliable tuning stability from the Floyd Rose® Special double-locking tremolo bridge. Make a bold statement with the X Series Kelly KEX, available in all-new Ferrari Red with black bevels, black hardware and a black Jackson® pointed 6-in-line headstock.See moreFeatures 25.5″ scale Poplar body Maple neck through-body with graphite reinforcement and scarf joint 12″-16″ compound radius laurel fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays White neck and headstock binding Jackson® high-output bridge and neck humbucking pickups Three-position pickup toggle switch, single volume control and single tone control Floyd Rose® Special double-locking tremolo bridge system Available in Ferrari Red with black bevels, black Jackson pointed 6-in-line headstock and black hardware Neck HEADSTOCK Jackson® Pointed 6-In-Line HEADSTOCK BINDING White NECK MATERIAL Maple NECK FINISH Gloss Color Matched NECK CONSTRUCTION Neck-Through-Body with Graphite Reinforcement and Scarf Joint FINGERBOARD RADIUS 12″-16″ Compound Radius (304.8 mm to 406.4 mm) FINGERBOARD MATERIAL Laurel POSITION INLAYS Pearloid Sharkfin SIDE DOTS Black NUMBER OF FRETS 24 TRUSS ROD Dual-Action Head Adjust TRUSS ROD NUT Truss Rod Adjustment at Nut STRING NUT Floyd Rose® Special Locking NUT WIDTH 1.6875″ (42.86 mm) NUT MATERIAL Floyd Rose® Special Locking Body BODY Poplar BODY FINISH Gloss BODY SHAPE Kelly™ BODY MATERIAL Poplar Hardware BRIDGE Floyd Rose® Special Double-Locking Tremolo (Recessed) PICKGUARD None PICKUP COVERS Black CONTROL KNOBS Dome-Style SWITCH TIP Black HARDWARE FINISH Black TUNING MACHINES Jackson® Sealed Die-Cast STRINGS Nickel Plated Steel (.009-.042 Gauges) TREMOLO ARM Floyd Rose® Special Locking NECK PLATE None STRAP BUTTONS Standard Electronics BRIDGE PICKUP Jackson® High-Output Humbucking NECK PICKUP Jackson® High-Output Humbucking PICKUP CONFIGURATION HH CONTROLS Volume, Tone SWITCHING 3-Position Toggle: Position 1.
