Kelly Professionals

[Basswood]

Hi all. There is a local guitar store that has 2 kelly professionals on their used rack. The first one has jackson pickups and appears to be neck-through and older than the second. The second appears to be a more recent guitar and has a neck plate. Did they make them in both neck-through and bolt-on? I personally dont know anything about them, but I thought that if anyone had interest I could check them out for a fellow JCF'er. They are both black. I live in Topeka, KS.

Re: Kelly Professionals

Yes they made both. The neck thru being a Kelly Pro and the bolt-on being a Kelly Standard. I have 2 Kelly Pro's and they smoke.

Holy smokes another Kansas native, you are about the second one now. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] I'm in Wichita.

There are late 90's Kellys that say 'professional' on the headstock, like the ps6t. They are decent guitars but not worth a whole lot.

Shoot me some info on that neck thru though, I'm curious. PM or email is fine.

Re: Kelly Professionals

There were also Professional models called the Kelly XL and XLR, made around '95 or '96, bolt-on neck with no neck plate, the serial number was on a sticker on the back of the headstock. The XL had a regular neck with regular MOP sharkfins, rosewood board with creme binding on neck/headstock, import JT580LP trem with import bridge JH2 pickup and USA J50N neck pup, only a volume control. The XLR was the same except for reverse headstock and reverse sharkfins. I miss my black XLR. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] I believe RacerX still has his black XL.
