Full Description
The Jackson Pro Plus Series Signature Brandon Ellis Kelly KE27 is an uncompromising modern metal instrument designed for speed, precision, and extreme expression. Finished in a striking Gold Crackle, this signature model reflects Brandon Ellis’ technical playing style and forward-thinking approach—combining classic Jackson aggression with cutting-edge performance features.
At its core is a resonant nyatoh body paired with a lightning-fast maple neck-thru construction, delivering exceptional sustain, stability, and seamless upper-fret access. The extended 27-fret layout opens up new melodic and technical possibilities, while the 25.1” scale length maintains a familiar feel with enhanced tension for articulate riffing and lead work. An ebony fingerboard with a 12”–16” compound radius and jumbo stainless steel frets ensures effortless bends, durability, and precision across the entire neck.
The KE27 is equipped with a Gotoh GE1996T double-locking tremolo, offering smooth, reliable dive bombs and rock-solid tuning stability, complemented by a Floyd Rose 1000 Series locking nut and Jackson sealed die-cast tuners. Together, these components make this guitar stage-ready for the most demanding performances.
Tonally, this signature Kelly delivers a wide and aggressive sonic palette thanks to a Seymour Duncan Dyad Parallel Axis bridge pickup and PA-STK neck pickup. Controlled via a 3-way toggle switch and a master volume with push/pull series-parallel switching, the KE27 can shift from crushing modern gain to articulate, cutting cleans with ease.
Bold in both look and function, the Brandon Ellis Kelly KE27 is a standout instrument built for players who demand speed, range, and uncompromising tone in a truly unique Jackson design.

I must say, I've had enough of mass sellers like SweetWater with their extra fees for everything that should be included as part of a guitar sale. Drop Dee Guitars exceeded my expectations by far with my order, ensuring that my instrument was a joy to play straight out of the box. I eagerly anticipate future business with this store. They are truly a shining star! Excellent communication throughout the pre-sale and after-sale as well. Thank you!
