Sharp lines. Heavy tone. Built for expressive playing.

The Jackson X Series Kelly KEX in Deep Purple Metallic pairs an unmistakable angular body with the fast feel and powerful sound that define Jackson. Neck-through construction, a compound-radius laurel fingerboard, and dual high-output humbuckers give this Kelly the foundation for tight riffs, fluid solos, and commanding stage presence.

Black hardware, white neck and headstock binding, and pearloid sharkfin inlays complete a look that’s bold from every angle.

Comfortable Chords, Confident Leads

The bound laurel fingerboard features a 12"–16" compound radius, offering a rounder feel near the nut for chords and riffing before gradually flattening toward the upper frets for bends and fast lead work. Twenty-four jumbo frets provide a full two-octave range.

A through-body maple neck with a scarf joint and graphite reinforcement adds structural stability, helping resist movement caused by changes in temperature and humidity.

High-Output Jackson Punch

Two Jackson high-output humbuckers deliver crunchy, full-bodied tone for assertive rhythms and soaring leads. A three-way toggle selects the bridge pickup, neck pickup, or both, while master volume and tone controls keep adjustments straightforward.

From palm-muted passages to ringing power chords, the KEX brings plenty of weight and character to your sound.

Put More Expression in Your Playing

The recessed Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo and locking nut give you access to subtle vibrato, wide pitch bends, and dramatic dive bombs. Jackson sealed die-cast tuners round out the hardware package.

Finished in Deep Purple Metallic, the Kelly KEX combines distinctive style with the features to take your playing further.
