Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The X Series Kelly KEX combines a poplar body-wing design with a one-piece maple neck that runs through the body. Graphite reinforcement and a scarf joint are part of that neck construction, while the laurel fingerboard carries 24 jumbo frets over a 12–16-inch compound radius. Two Jackson high-output humbuckers feed a three-way toggle, master volume and tone controls. A recessed Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo completes a focused electric-guitar layout for high-output playing.
