Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Jackson’s Kelly JS32T is a right-handed electric guitar with an offset poplar body, bolt-on maple speed neck and 24 jumbo frets. The fully bound rosewood fingerboard has a 12–16 inch compound radius: it is rounder closer to the nut and flattens in the upper register for chord shapes, fast riffs, solos and wide bends. Two ceramic high-output humbuckers work through a three-way switch, master volume and tone controls. Its thru-body-stringed tune-o-matic bridge makes this the fixed-bridge Kelly JS32T configuration.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Players who prefer two high-output ceramic humbuckers and conventional master volume-and-tone controls.

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere
