Jackson Kelly is an electric guitar. It looks like a sleek Gibson Explorer and is used mostly by metal musicians.

The Kelly's distinct body shape gives unique tone and sustain and also puts the neck further out than other guitars making it very easy to play high up the neck. The neck back shape is probably the thinnest of all Jacksons, as it is "cut out" towards the center of the guitar, amking it very flat and easy to play on.

Notable guitarists who used the Kelly are Adam Darski (from Behemoth) and Marty Friedman (of Megadeth fame), both guitarists however ceased using Jackson guitars and use nowadays Dean and Ibanez respectively.
