The Jeff Loomis Kelly Pro Series KE is a BEAST of a guitar, and absolutely rips, but it does have one very easy to fix flaw. I'll show you in this video what it is and how to fix it if you have the same issue.

Kelly KEX review here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WBLKe4_m9E8.html

@thisguy2973 Год назад

I think the reason they ship with cheap springs and not noiseless is that while they’re nice-to-haves, Jackson builds a LOT of guitars with Floyd roses, and adding $18 springs to all of them above $1200 probably adds up. It’s like when you want to upgrade the knobs on your kitchen cabinets, and they’re only $5/piece, but then realize you have 17 left/right cabinets, so you need 34 knobs. As the saying goes, many a mickle makes a muckle.

@TaylorDanley Год назад

I see what you're saying, but look at it this way. The retail of the guitar is $1600, those springs probably cost them less than $9 a set. I don't think you are cutting into the bottom line too deeply to put a ready to play guitar into your customers hands. And if it is, rework the budget on the guitar.

@TheSpineSplitter1990 Год назад

I have noiseless Floyd Rose Springs that are coated and they don't work as they are advertised. I had to shove foam in the spring cavity to reduce it.

Just remove the coating on the noiseless springs on the pin end the goes into the tone block and on the ring end that connects to the spring claw and your grounding issues will be resolved.

I've always wanted a Kelly, but most of the Pro models comes with gloss necks, which is something I don't enjoy playing at all. This Jeff model with the satin neck looks great, but again has other features I don't want or need, like the Floyd and signature pickups. And also the price is a bit high for this to be honest. Neck through, satin neck, tune-o-matic bridge, EMG 81 and 85, thats all I need. Really hope more Kelly models and different options gets released one day.

@TaylorDanley Год назад

Or just Jackson models that have more options period. Finding a Warrior with a reverse headstock that isn't custom or white/maple is impossible lol.

@TYLERtheMAGGOT1 Год назад

Not saying you're wrong but I'll take his signature blackouts over EMGs everyday. Also the price is pretty fair considering it has high end specs like luminlay side dots, a 1500 series Floyd rose (I prefer that over the original), his blackouts (one of the best active pickups on the market), and the looks with the binding and ash top. Plus the Korean Jacksons are very good when it comes to craftsmanship. I'll argue and say it's priced right and better than the new American series Jackson Sl3s while also being 1000 dollars cheaper.

@scottg8660 Год назад

Get an emg wiring set install it. Plug in the pickups. Good to go. Sounds great and you don't need the bridge ground. Did that with guitars and did a bass yesterday with a bqc system and blackouts. Works like a champ.

@TaylorDanley Год назад

Does the EMG wiring change the output level on the blackouts?

@scottg8660 Год назад

Noooo, if anything it's a little bit more. I think they sound better with the emg wiring. More aggressive, less noise. If you unhook the bridge ground and output on the seymours, you can unplug the pickups and pull it all out. It's easy to put right back in if you don't like the emg wiring but I think you will.

Hi. The springs are making noise because the pickups are so hot. The pickups are picking up the springs becasue they are so hot.. You can fix the springs, but the better fix would be to get better pickups.. That's the big problem. That is just too much and I like hot pickups.. Dimarzio Super distortions, Super 3 is the fav of mine, but it wouldn't do that feedback stuff.. Also, I don't know if the 1500 is a good trem. I thought the guitars in that price range use the 1000 floyd made in Korea but with the same exact parts as the German made floyds.. Too bad it doesn't come with just a tune o matic bridge.. Great looking guitar thought and it's cool that it has a low action and such a good setup.. That means the frets are leveled good, and neck is straight, etc.. Thanks for the video man.. Tim

Yeah the floyd spring thing is an easy fix and really puzzling why they decided that they couldn't add the noiseless springs to this guitar. At $1500+, penny pinching like this is absurd but even more inexcusable is them thinking that the Floyd 1500 is ok. It's not. I had a 1500 in my Schecter SVSS exotic and it wasn't that great and the Floyd 1000 my Charvel had was also junk. I put a Gotoh 1996T on both of those and it's so much better but at this price point, not having an OFR is a huge miss. It's not just Jackson though, ESP are putting the FR1000 on their $2000 E-II Japan guitars and high end Korean models too.

@MaestroJericho Год назад

idk if $1600 is worth it but everything else around that level is that price range these days. The Schecter KMs were like $999 at the time and at the time was already fully loaded imports, same with LTD sigs being $1200 or so. Now those same guitars are like $1600. Even USA guitars that were like $3200 or so for a PRS 10 Top and similar are approaching the $5k mark

I never understood why brands don't put foam in there. Any decent player or guitar tech fixes this with some foam (the one in pickups boxes is great for that) so why ?

@TaylorDanley Год назад

I don't know either. It's weird. I think the foam might snag in the springs, but there's got to be a cheap easy way to fix it in manufacturing. Also, not all springs are created equal. These were some of the noisiest I've ever heard, even compared to the cheaper licensed series FR tremolos. Part of that could be the pickups being so hot as well though.

@TYLERtheMAGGOT1 Год назад

I noticed the same issue when it comes to most blackout models (except for the EMTY Blackouts). They're just so hot and they're high output. And when you plug it in to a high gain amp, it becomes even more louder. I just bought a good high end noise gage like the Decimator and it fixed the issue. But i don't remember it screeching high like yours did. There's got to be something wrong with how they set it up because my blackouts didnt screech that high immediately when I'm not playing.

@gaberox1 Год назад

@@TYLERtheMAGGOT1 ya it's the Indo mick thomson it's actually a badazz guitar and I love it but the pickups do squeal sometimes. They sound sick though also lol love em.

@TYLERtheMAGGOT1 Год назад

@Gabe Rox oh yeah I love the guitar as well. I went and grabbed a USA made one before they were out on reverb and I love it. Guitar was flawless but for some reason, the indo models always had QC issues with the pain job inside the input jack and trust rod area. It's like they skipped out on painting those spots. But I agree amazing guitar

@gaberox1 Год назад

@@TYLERtheMAGGOT1 daaamn I can only imagine how sick the USA model is. I've considered selling a few of my Jackson's to get a USA but man the prices are so insane.

"Why wouldn't you just have those in there" my thoughts exactly

Companies always cut corners. Otherwise that guitar is awesome. I know it’s maybe not the biggest deal but I hate seeing expensive guitars not including OFR’s and having lower end trems. I haven’t used this bridge so maybe it’s really good.

@Spivonious Год назад

With Indonesian guitars costing $700, it's not shocking for a Korean guitar to be $1600, especially with name-brand pickups and an artist endorsement. How was the build quality and fretwork? That's what takes labor, which is the most expensive part of building a guitar.

Everything was excellent. Not USA custom shop quality, obviously, but very nice!

@TYLERtheMAGGOT1 Год назад

You're lucky to get an Indonesia guitars for that much. Jackson would sell their crackled Chinese rhoads for 1300. Most of the indo models I see would cost around 800-1200

Hello, I think Jackson has raised the prices a lot. The Brandon Ellis signature is 1250 euros and comes with a Floyd Rose 1000 and obviously with only one pickup, he thinks they could be sold a little cheaper. And they are not made in the USA or Japan....

@TYLERtheMAGGOT1 Год назад

You're also comparing Chinese made guitar like the Brandon Ellis signature to something that's made in Korea like Jeff Loomis. Then you have Jeff Loomis having 2 pickups (both being more expensive than his passive pickups), having luminlay side dots, and 1500 series being more expensive. Then his model has binding as well as it being sand blasted ash top which requires more work compared to Brandon's guitar. I blame fender for raising the prices on jackson, charvel, evh, etc.

I was going to buy one of these from @Andertons yesterday. It was a thing of beauty but it has clearly been played in store by some mr acid sweat hands and the paint was all worn off the top and bottom of the bridge humbucker. How nasty do your hands have to be to destroy the finish on every guitar you touch? 😂 I’ll wait until they get more stock in.

@TaylorDanley Год назад

That's the cool thing about flat finishes, but not cool if it's not your sweat that broke it in lol.

why wouldnt you just lower the gain in the amp?

@dirtyandnasty9011 Год назад

I always played with not much gain (my vht is brutal even with not much gain so i prefer it like that) and my king V was making the same noise before i fixed it.

@crate718 Год назад

@@dirtyandnasty9011 it might be a ground issue. I would use electric contact cleaner to clean the switch it might help

I remember when Jackson guitars weren't trash in the pre-Fender era, and I also remember when USA Select Custom (mass produced customs of course) Select Kelly's were $2,500. Man I'm so tired of these massive corporations buying out the good companies and turning them into trash. I just bought a Mesa Oversized 412 Standard from Sweetwater and the contact inside the 8 Ohm 1/4" input is simply not there. For anyone who hasn't read the user manual or has a electronics background; not having a contact with your conductor to complete your circuit just creates an open circuit with infinite impedance which will cause an overcurrent in your amps circuit SERIOUSLY DAMAGING it. I bet that wouldn't have happened prior to Gibson's trashy @$$ buying Mesa out. We can't win @Taylor Danley... we just can't win. But it's channels like your's we depend on to demonstrate just how 💩 or 💎 these overpriced mass produced wastes of trees truly are or aren't. Case in point, and you're (Taylor) obviously well aware, you can buy a top tier Solar for $1,200-$1,500, and while it isn't a Mike Shannon hand made pre-Fender era Jackson, they absolute SMASH the trash I'm seeing come out of companies like Jackson nowadays. Sorry for the long response dude, but I loved Jackson guitars so much I named my son Jackson. Then they sold out and ruined the greatest guitars to ever exist on the planet when they allowed Fender to wipe their @$$ with the quality of the brand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IDK, seems like a one trick pony. The clean tone has hiss, not sure if that was a dimed guitar volume knob or the amp or both.

@legion7478 Год назад

You got it right. It's bass wood just like the fish. Anyone that calls it base wood is obviously a bass player and you should stop being friends with them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life. 😆

I think 1000 series Floyds, are pretty damn close to original in quality. If original is a 10, I give them a solid 8 or 9. While licensed, or special or whatever. Is like a 3 or 4.
