Overview
The Jackson Legend Series KE-1 Kelly™ is a faithful reproduction of Marty Friedman's iconic late-'90s signature — originally a limited, highly sought-after collector's piece, now accessible at an attainable price. Built from the original sample, it features an alder body with 3-piece maple neck-through construction, ebony fingerboard with 12"–16" compound radius, 24 jumbo frets, and pearloid sharkfin inlays. The Seymour Duncan® JB™ pickup delivers tight, articulate punch, while the Kahler® 7330 Fixed bridge ensures rock-solid stability. Every detail is intact — including Marty's signature white "1" body marking.

Highlights
Kahler® 7330 Series Fixed Bridge
The Kahler® 7330 series Fixed bridge delivers superior sustain and rock-solid intonation through its solid-body contact design.

The machined construction ensures consistent performance and long-term reliability.
