KE\/E-230 Trans Blue Quilt Top w\/ EMG, Floyd Rose, Case \u0026 Tags","description":"Up for sale, a 2001 Jackson Stars Japan Pride Kelly model J.P. KE\/E-230 in near-mint condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtags. A rare Japanese domestic market model, the Jackson Stars instruments are the direct descendants of the Grover Jackson line, expertly crafted at the Chu Shin factory.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis particular Kelly iteration was crafted as part of the short-lived Japan Pride series, a limited production run of top-tier guitars designed “with the lofty goal of using all of Japan’s current technology to create a guitar that we can be proud of in the world,” according to a 1999 catalog. Premium features include neck-through construction, a quilted maple top highlighted by a gloss Trans Blue finish, an Original Floyd Rose tremolo, and a pair of EMG 81 active pickups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeighing 8lbs 5oz, tonewoods include a maple neck, ash body wings, a quilted maple top, and a 24-fret striped ebony fingerboard. The neck-through construction results in ample natural sustain and resonance, providing the ideal platform for the pair of EMG 81 pickups. Utilizing ceramic magnets and close aperture coils, these pickups were designed for optimal note detail, enhanced high end cut, and fluid sustain, engineered so that lead work will slice through even the densest mix. The bridge has an aggressive, gain-ready snarl, and the neck is fuller and broader, retaining excellent articulation and dynamic clarity. This Jackson Kelly has been professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 9-42 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Wood: Maple\u003cbr\u003e-Shape: Slender D, measuring .770” 1st fret, .855” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e-Fretboard: Striped ebony, 24-fret, 16” radius, sharkfin inlays\u003cbr\u003e-Frets: Jumbo, no wear\u003cbr\u003e-Scale Length: 25 ½”\u003cbr\u003e-Nut: 1 ⅝”, locking\u003cbr\u003e-Tuners: Gotoh\u003cbr\u003e-Serialization: 01-prefix (2001), stamped beyond 24th fret\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Wood: Quilted maple, ash\u003cbr\u003e-Pickups: EMG 81 x2 (JA stickers on baseplates date to 2001)\u003cbr\u003e-Controls: Volume, Tone, Three-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e-Harness: CTS pots date to the 33rd week of 2015 (replacement)\u003cbr\u003e-Hardware: Original Floyd Rose tremolo, dome-top knurled knobs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe gloss Trans Blue finish highlights the figuring in the quilted maple top, and cosmetic wear is limited to just a few minor dings on the bass-side perimeter and faint scratches in the clear coat.
