Jackson JS series JS32T Kelly Viola Burst

Allmänt

To cater to aspiring metal heads and price-conscious guitarists, Jackson developed the JS series, a line of budget-friendly guitars that were designed for heavy music styles. This Jackson Kelly model's body shape basically tells you all you need to know. Fortunately, the guitar isn't just about looks; its neck and pickup configuration are all geared towards quick licks and heavy riffs. Are you looking for a decent yet affordable starter model, or a nicely priced metal guitar for on the side? The Jackson JS-32 Kelly in Viola Burst is everything you need.

Construction of the JS32T Kelly

The body of the JS32T Kelly Viola Burst is made of spruce, a wood type that boasts similar sound characteristics as the must more expensive alder. As such, the guitar has a nicely balanced core sound. The maple neck, meanwhile, is fitted with an amaranth fretboard for a bit of extra warmth. As is fitting for a true speed freak, the fretboard has a compound radius, making this JS32T just as suitable for tight riffs near the nut as for super-fast leads on the higher frets.

An appropriate look

A feisty-looking guitar like this should deliver a matching sound, and this Jackson doesn't disappoint. Two Jackson zebra ensure you'll have plenty of output, while a fixed, string-through bridge guarantees a heavy dose of sustain. With a sound to be reckoned with and looks to kill, what could possibly stand in your way on stage?
