Jackson JS32T Kelly KE Electric Guitar in Viola Burst with Amaranth Fretboard

The Jackson JS32T Kelly KE is an electric guitar designed with the modern metal guitarist in mind, featuring the distinctive asymmetrical Kelly body shape that originated in the 1980s. This model combines aggressive styling with practical playability, making it suitable for players who require fast neck access and high-gain tonal capabilities. The Viola Burst finish provides a striking visual appeal, complemented by the contrasting amaranth fingerboard and white binding. Constructed from a poplar body with a gloss polyester finish, the guitar features a bolt-on, one-piece maple speed neck reinforced with graphite for enhanced stability and resonance. The neck has a slim profile and satin finish to facilitate rapid playing techniques, while the 12" to 16" compound radius fingerboard accommodates both chord work and lead playing. It is equipped with 24 jumbo frets and pearloid sharkfin inlays for clear fretboard navigation. The hardware includes Jackson high-output humbucking pickups, a string-through-body bridge for improved sustain, and sealed die-cast tuning machines to maintain tuning stability. This guitar is particularly well-suited for genres such as metal, hard rock, and punk, where high gain and precise articulation are essential. The straightforward control layout—comprising a master volume, master tone, and a three-way pickup selector—allows for quick sound adjustments during performance. Whether for practice, recording, or live use, the JS32T Kelly offers a balance of visual impact, durable construction, and focused tonal output that meets the demands of intensive playing styles.
