VS



Whats your opinion guys?

Also, I could get either for the same price

Warrior without a doubt. Better electronics (personal prefrene but EMG's rule), neck and head binding, badass body shape... Theyre both good guitars, but Id much rather a WRMG that a KE3.

You gotta figure it's going to be a personal preference opinion battle, lol.
Imo the Kelley is a more comfortable guitar, plus Duncans as opposed to Emg's, lol, so go to a store and play one of each see what you think. That Warrior looks like it's been played on a bit as opposed to the Kelley if the Kelley pic is the guitar you'd actually get, i'd take that into consideration as well.

I love EMGs, and I think they both look gorgeous!
I put a better pic for the kelly, thats the actual guitar

Both are used, but I can get both for great prices

I'm digging the crimson swirl, yet at the same time, I can't seem to choose anything that doesn't have EMGs on it!

[BayRocker]

I've got a Warrior and a Kelly, I'd pick the Kelly.

It's more comfortable to play. Unfortunately, it doesn't have neck binding. The crimson swirl is cool, I've got it on my RR3. I'm not an EMG fan so the Duncans win for me.

Or......just buy both.

That KE3 has chrome hardware, so chances are it has Duncan Designed pups, not real Duncans. Even more reason to go with the Warrior! Warriors have slightly better upper fret access as well, if that matters to you. Ive got some of both and I prefer the Warriors over the Kellys. Slightly better balanced and just feel better... but again, my opinion. Go try both out and see!

Yup I believe they are duncan designed. This is an onler Kelly KE-3 then right?
I think I'm gonna go with the Warrior, and if I don't like it i can return it and buy the Kelly, heh

I wouldn't dis the HB103 set. I have it in a KE3 body and they sound good enough not to swap out.

[DalyTek]

Personally, I like the Kelly better, have a KE3 myself and love it. But the Duncan Designed detonator (HB-108) pickups that came in it stock are not my favorites, I just swapped mine out. I did have the HB-103 set that DonP mentioned in another guitar and they actually sounded pretty good.

You should get the KE3 and put a set of EMGs in it!

[scabaway]

Buy both, put the Warrior neck and a set of EMG's on the Kelly!!!
Problem solved!

[RacerX]

Warrior

[Maiden89]

what kind of emg's does the warrior have? If their not 81/85 set, then the kelly for sure!!! I'm kinda biased towards kelly's anyway lol!

81/85 yup

[lfrz93]

Will be getting either next week hopefully!
I think im going with the warrior, apparently its blue, which I have never seen on a WRMG though.

Missed out on the Warrior, fuck my life.
