Hello,

I'm using my Kelly for 9 years and I 'm always a fan!
For specifications see below!

UTILIZATION

As for the handle: it is thin (compared to a Start or SG) and large, very fast also, with access to acute well designed. After 9 years of use, the varnish is always impeccable. On my guitar the strings are set as low as possible relative to the frets and 2 or 3 notes curl but nothing compares with a guitar input range
In short an excellent race!

Two words on the floyd: very annoying to change the strings and retune but once done it is a very long time: playing alone, no tuning for 6 months! As a group, small adjustments in 1 min and this is gone! And can be abused without fear of vibrato!

SOUNDS

I play with a Marshall Valvestate 100R, Hard Rock and pop

The bridge pickup: in full, it gives a very sharp well defined. The palm muting is a regal with! Clearly, it is too slammed to play chords and arpeggios, but can go to play a ska rhythm condition to lower the volume (which removes a lot of treble)

The neck pickup: in full, it gives a big sound with good bass, less sharp. The notes from the top of the handle goes better that in the bridge position because they are less metallic and aggressive. Clearly, big surprise, that is not bad at all! We obtain a round and clean, not slammed or with "twang"

Intermediate position: The sound is very similar to saturated in the neck position. Clearly, that is the sound of the neck pickup but with less low roundness but then I 'would go not up to say that the sound is fine!

OVERALL OPINION

Finally a good range of sound and an excellent handle.
The look is overwhelming! On the negative side: already mentioned, the guitar pitches down if it is loose. The volume knob acts (too) much of the tone.

Ultimately I do it again the same choice of guitar
