The sound of the Jackson Guitars KEXMG Kelly Tobacco Burst
As stated before, the body is made of maple. It's a thin layer (veneer), though, purely because maple provides a strikingly 3D look. The body itself is made of basswood which is responsible for clearly defined bass and mid tones, a popular choice for leads that cut through the mix. The neck is completely made of maple so you can look forward to a long sustain and very bright sound characteristics. Like with many guitars, the fretboard of this one is made of rosewood. This produces a rich, warm sound and is comfortable to play thanks to the natural, oily characteristics of this wood type.
Tremolo and pickups
When you play the lead with this Jackson you can play as intensely as you want and you have all the possibilities to vary your sound. Thanks to the Floyd Rose Special tremolo bridge you can make the wildest string bends, ideal for intense vibratos and shrieking pitch bends. Due to a special clamp in the string nut, this guitar remains in tune for weeks, months even. So you don't have to be afraid that your guitar suddenly becomes out of tune during your gig. Nevertheless, you can still easily adjust your strings with small machine heads. You can switch the EMG humbuckers, at the bridge and at the neck, in bridge, bridge-neck or neck configuration so you can adjust your sound for perfect power chords and leads.
