About Jackson:
Jackson began back in the late 1970s, when heavy music experienced a flamboyant and virtuosic resurgence in popularity and a small Southern California guitar repair shop became the epicenter of a new level of shred-approved excellence. Ever since then, Jackson guitars have been universally lauded as the metal guitars; the shred machines-highly original high-performance instruments of distinctive style and formidable substance. From metal’s chart-topping peaks to its darkest recesses, for discerning guitarists all over the globe, Jackson is the only way to go.

For 7k I expect Jeff himself come deliver it to my house. Nothing less.
Andi Brain and you get a kiss from alissa
That’s a lot of green for basswood and 2 knobs. $7,000.00? Holy Shit.
Better off getting an X series Kelly then putting loomis signature pickups in it tbh
@@Thomasdgolden There's no basswood at all. It's ash body, maple neck and ebony fretboard.
But yeah, the guitar is pretty lo-tech for that price. At $5000+ I would expect some state of the art features, like multiscale/true temperament, Evertune system, piezo pickups, etc.
on thomann (german instrument store) it's only 1,5k Euros, how come?
That design is just absolutely stunning.
God bless Loomis for keeping the Friedman/Becker memories alive with his amazing Becker covers and choice of axe ! Right on Jeff... a fellow Wisconsin shredder !
Seriously, this man is not only a guitar legend, but seems he knows how to reverse the aging process!
Met Jeff Loomis in 98 at Fenix Underground in Seattle when Nevermore played with King Diamond. That was a memorable show. Very nice person and he looks exactly the same in this video. Lucky! I still have a Nevermore shirt I love and was able to see Nevermore several times before they parted ways. Love their CDs. Jeff was playing PRS then. Fan of Jackson USA.
I'm in the UK, and I bought a Kelly back in 1985. I bought it without seeing it from Sam Ash in NYC over the telephone, as Jackson's weren't sold in the UK then. It cost me £1250 back then, which was a lot of money (I got a bank loan). I think the serial number was J0232 or thereabouts. White with black pinstriping, black floyd. Loved it. Foolishness of youth meant I traded it a few years later. What a mistake. I have always missed her.
Bought a ks2 in 95. Sold it for weed. Bought back for 100 quid. Gave it away. Prefer an Ibanez s series.
I chopped mine in against a floral jem. I also had a yellow one at the time. What a mistake, but hindsight is perfect. The Kelly has real sentimental appeal to me. It was the first truly proper guitar I ever had. I had a Kramer Baretta at the same time, but that wasn't a patch on the Jackson. My brother was so impressed when I got the Kelly, that he rang up Sam Ash and bought a RR :)
Jeff Loomis joining Arch Enemy was the equivalent of George Kollias joining Volbeat
I just imagine Loomis and Kollias in the same stage
Lol this is possibly the most underrated YT comment ever.
Couldn’t have said it better.
Jason Richardson on All That Remains is even more
Couldn't agree more. What a waste of an excellent guitar player
It can be yours for only 7 grand!
lmaoooo
Considering that his old Schecter models didn´t cost a fraction of this here and were pretty great instruments,that´s total bullshit.
@@greekfreak1980 There's a big difference between his import Schecters vs a Custom Shop Jackson...If you had a USA version of one of his Schecters, it'd probably be in the same price range.
@@tenhundredkills Give us a break,there´s nothing here that justifies a 7000 USD price tag on this,lets be real.
I can get a Mayones custom,with a one of a kind paintjob,master grade quilt top and multipiece neck for less!
@@greekfreak1980 totally true, or ANY guitar from a smaller luthier brand like Aristides or Deamoness, I mean those are not on the same level (even tho im a big fan of Loomis, I have to be honest here)
I produced all of Jeff’s videos and audio at EMGtv and love his playing, absolutely the best! The tone of this amp is way off, what is going on here?
Come on guys, Jeff deserves great tone! Who the heck dialed in this guitar tone, it’s really bad. - Jeff, you’re still the best!
Crazily bad.
Jeff has a signature tone throughout his tutorial videos, emg vids, and records.
This is not it at all and my pod hd preset through his schecter sounds alot better.
Same shitty sound was on official Charvel videos few years ago. Probably same guy. I hope it's not Peter Wichers.
Jackson doesn't seem to understand how to dial an amp in. I didn't think it was physically possible to make Jeff Loomis sound shit but they succeeded!
sounds great?
prob a kemper smh
My thoughts exactly. Sounds terrible.
@@fndrn8 it's hard to make a Kemper sound bad.
Probably a helix as Loomis uses helix now
I've been playing Jackson all my life really...his best music and the highlights of his writing since the Nevermore days were with Schecter lmao.
He was using esp for most of the early evermore stuff actually
It’s very possible he sat at home writing riffs on his Jackson’s. In public he was not allowed to use other guitars under contract but at home nobody was there to tell him what to play
His Schecter guitars are a joke
@@hammeredseb7198 why?
@@hammeredseb7198 you are the joke...
Hmm, can’t seem to remember the last time I had $7000.
First Friedman and now Loomis. Damn, man. That's some legacy. Fun fact is that Loomis almost joined Megadeth at some point as well.
That would have been killer. Loomis and Mustain harmony solos!!!
He was invited a second time I think, but let them have Broderick instead.
@@Metalton95 I would've preferred Loomis. I don't like Broderick much.
@@elvisjsax I'm just glad we got both Endgame and The Obsidian Conspiracy. While the songwriting wasn't that amazing on Obsidian, and the solos were way too short, the riffs were godlike!
Jeff auditioned for Megadeth when he was 16 years old, but Dave told him that he was “too young” so he went with Marty Friedman instead. Talk about bad timing lol
Jeff Loomis + Jackson Guitar = Heaven
You're high
Jeff Loomis is a great guy. Love this model, it looks gorgeous!
That finish is amazing. My favorite jelly to date.
Realistically it should be around 2500
Kyle McPherson
It’s a Jackson. It should be no more than $799
EXACTLY
@@Questioneverythingx if it is made in China, USA custom model should be around 2500. Do not overpay for the brand, there ARE a lot better guitars on the market for 2k.
No it shouldn’t, not from the shop it’s coming out of.
id say right around 1000. a synyster gates signature is 1250 and is an absolute monster of a guitar. not to mention when it comes to quality schecter is one of the best in the business at the moment. like i said a signature jackson. id put it at 1000-1100.
Jackson Guitar's give the people what they want which is a pro series or x series of this amazing instrument!
Jackson is my favorite. Playing a kelly right now
I prefer your sig Schecter...just my opinion.
Same, sad knowing i'll never get to own a cygnus.
@@calebengland77 why not? they will come up second hand
I've got his Schecter 7 it's a beast of a guitar, definitely a keeper.
@@ESPSJ Yeah, i've been looking on multiple sites and it's safe to say that they are pretty rare to find second hand.
@@calebengland77 I have the 7 string Cygnus. It's a beast. Keep looking on Ebay
Glad to see an artist behind the guitar again. Saw this coming for awhile.
My favorite guitar player!
Jeff wrote some great riffs on Dead Heart In a Dead World
And not only on that album.. allthough it's my favorite too. :)
"some" lol
.. and This Godless Endeavor.
Politics of Ecstasy.
Enemies of Reality.
Dreaming Neon Black.
The Obsidian Conspiracy (!)
... every Nevermore record lol.
But I'll tell you where he didn't: Anything from Arch Enemy... -.-
I'm a life-long Jackson guitar fanboy. I've owned some of the best guitars they make (SL1, SL2h, HT6, HT7, and muliple dinkys). Kelly is one of the models I have never owned but always wanted (thanks to Marty). That being said, this signature model is completely unrealistically priced. I know its a USA custom shop, and there are probably only a few of them, but it doesn't make sense. Why $7k? There definitely aren't $7k of unique features here.
Jeff's signature models through Schecter were great for their price point, and I'm sure he made a good bit of money via that arrangement. I was literally ecstatic for him to come to Jackson, and I hope they continue this arrangement. I would love an Indonesian, or more budget friendly USA model, but as it stands... this model is just a pipe dream.
Same here man, I own 3 Jacksons myself (my only electric guitars) and not a Kelly shape fan, but this one looks absolutely SICK! and it a Jeff Loomis signature. Even if I had that money to spare, its definitely not worth the price tag. I'm sure this was priced by Fender executives... Cough cough Jackson take note, drop the price! :P
Nicholas Isoldi just make your own custom shop you can get one a lot cheaper non signature
You should order you own guitar of you don't like it I like it
An example of a good artist. I love what he does.
Jackson Kelly I like it has nice touch very beautiful jackson
I have the 'Adrian Smith, signature model', by Jackson.
I'm not a fan of Iron Maiden but always loved the look of the guitar; I've also seen Wolf Hoffman from Accept, with the same looking guitar.
On the album, 'Impact is Imminent' by Exodus, both Rick and Gary used Jackson guitars and had one of the HEAVIEST guitar tones I've ever heard!! That's why I love Jackson Guitars. They're just made for Metal of all kinds!
Thank you, Jackson Guitars!! 🤗❤️👍🎸🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🎸🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Jeff is the best!
Can't wait to see this become an import production model. I love explorer shaped guitars and been thinking about getting one with a floyd Rose. The pickups honestly are an added bonus. Although I've never tried blackouts before. Pretty excited for this instrument
Binding is sick
I love you Jeff !!!
A loomis Jackson!!! I love it
I bought a Randy Rhoads model custom way back in 1985 for 2000 bucks. The paint started pealing off the guitar all over. After that repair had constant issues with paint on the next coming off. As much as I was a fan of Rhoads back then was really disappointing to have a crappy guitar. Seeing this video made me wonder about the quality Jackson was putting out now. Ive been playing PRS for years now have always been very happy.
This thing is bananas. I guess we mortals will have to wait for the "Made in Indonesia" version to come out.
I can't lie, the white outline with the black Jackson logo is super sick
That guitar fits Jeff perfectly
Jeff Guitar is worth it... Jackson designed with smooth precision
I think it's the best jackson ever
I have no idea why people are complaining about the price?!
All you have to do is sell your car and one of your kidneys and you're good to go! Loomis is one of my main inspirations and the Kelly is my favorite shape of all time but no way in hell I'm selling my soul to get this guitar.
Ok Jackson, time to release the PRO version. Don't screw it up!
A .Smart It’ll probably be $2,000 for the pro
The Pro-line is like... almost worth buying, to me. The guitars are close, and ive played a few, and they play well... but they lack the aesthetic quality that I want. For example, the necks are compound and ebony... but the inlays are this gross garbage-tier acrylic, instead of MOP. MOP isn't even expensive, its just a gate-kept feature that Jackson holds back so they can add it to their USA models. The colors and finishes they uses are also off. Chlorine Burst. Desert Sky. Northern Lights. Pass... give me a jet black or a white model.
Just my two cents.
@@Kinsen77 Not even close
Indeed make a pro version. There's no kelly pro in the Jackson lineup at all. They would sell loads of pro version of this. At least one by me.
@@nisoldi I know it's a little effort but you can modify the finish at home.
Not too many 'guitar lords' played the kelly, but if all guitar shapes could talk and started arguing among themselves that who had the most talented players, the kelly can now flex its muscles saying "The two I've had (Marty Friedman and Jeff Loomis) can wreck all of yours!"
He's not nearly as popular/talented as Marty Friedman and Jeff Loomis but ex-Deicide guitarist, Eric Hoffman, owned/played a Jackson Kelly back in the day. His is really cool looking because his has the bloody finish on it.
A beautiful guitar 😍😍😍😍🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Man, loomis has worked around quite a few brands over the years. ESP, Schecter, and now Jackson guitars. I had finally purchased me a jackson not long ago and so far not bad. Needed some work and touchups but bot bad
Wow for 7k I can own several ESP/LTD guitars...no thanks Jackson, I'm sticking with ESP Guitars for life!!!
Beautiful !
I've been playing on Jackson Kelly's ever since I learned to play guitar, about 15 years now. I have a US Custom one now that is my all time favorite guitar to use. Everything on it is perfect and it's a joy to play on. Saving my pennies now to get a Jeff Loomis signature model.
Shredful!!
congrats jeff
I love this instrument. I'll never own one because all my gear got stolen and I can't ever bring myself to buy high pro level stuff anymore, but this is my dream guitar.
Can we get that in a pro series? Please!!! Incredible!!!
Love it. 1 volume and a 3 way, that's all you need.
The Kelly Guitar really is a gorgeous guitar shape.
Nevermore sound was his best sound ever, in my opinion.
He sounds great on that UA-cam clip where he guests on a Tony MacAlpine gig.
I second that.
jackson/fender business development/artist relations folks doing a great job getting all the big names back... marty... loomis... mick thompson... wow!
I will buy this guitar!
My first real guitar hero right here. Odd to see him without a seven, but this is super cool!
I once knew a guy named Ed who bought an ash body and maple neck for $130 from Wayne Charvel and Lynn Ellsworth. He was able to purchase the factory second body at a discount price of $50 due to a knot in the wood. The $80 neck had jumbo fret wire, and its truss rod was adjustable at the heel. He used the Fender trem from a 1958 Strat and a PAF pickup removed from a Gibson ES-335. He potted the pickup in a coffee can with paraffin wax. He then screwed the pickup to the guitar in the bridge position, slightly offset from perpendicular to the strings, to compensate for the different string spacing between the Gibson's pickup and the Fender's bridge. He had a limited knowledge of electronics. So, he removed both tone-control potentiometers, wiring the pickups in a simple circuit consisting of the pickup, an A500k potentiometer (the volume control) and a 1/4-inch output jack. He placed a knob marked "Tone" on the volume-control pot, then used a vinyl record that he'd shaped into a pick guard to cover the controls.
Here's one of the songs he played on it....

Yeah jacksons are great !!!
Killer guitar and even better master shredder in Jeff! Kudos to Jackson Guitars for adding Mr. Loomis to your arsenal of artists...took you long enough! Lolz 🤘🏻😂🤘🏻
Many people says that tone was bad. I don't know how it was recorded, line? but I think it's very distinctive in the mix full of mid-range and low sounds.
When you rather buy Dave Davidson’s 7 string Warrior for basically 1/4 of the cost and it has coil tap too
sounds like he is missing a string.
His tone is terrible in this. Look up some of the stuff he's done with keith merrow
That potato tone...it sounds like someone forgot to load an IR onto that signal.
He is; normally played a 7
Well he said the same about his shecter model😆 and I own and love it,and it only cost me $1000 so I'm good
Kick ass guitar player. I still listen to Nevermore.
Awesomeness
Jackson..... pro series cmon we need it!!!
Custom shop makes the price tag larger but I think something people don’t realize as well as being an artist model Jeff actually gets a percentage of the money as well so commonly people will charge more for the instrument as well. Would love to play one but yes, would not pay 7 either.
What are the chances we see a pro series version on this? About the same price as the Dave Davidson warrior? Id buy one in a heartbeat
Something humbling, I’m watching this video and noticing that our play styles/riff choice is very similar. I’m sure many of you also are noticing this about yourself. Just nice to know my head is it least working like the pro’s :)
That guitar is fucking beautiful 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Guitar looks pretty smoking hot. Tone certainly doesn't sound bad on here either. So much negativity in these comments. It is very cool and if people want to pay the price, they are supporting Jeff, who deserves every penny he gets. The more I look at that guitar the more I think fuck yeah. That is the coolest Kelly there is.
That is a awesome KELLY! i normally am not nuts about the KELLY but i do really like this one!
Killer guitar definitely for the craftsmanship am saving up
Even if Gibson made this, they wouldn't charge that much.
Luke Nicholson Original Music lol they’d probably charge way more
Luke Nicholson Original Music would be around 5k
Can’t wait for the import level Loomis model to come out!
That's it. Am getting it. It's perfect!
Well I can save 7000 dollars now since they don't make these left handed.
Us lefties have a hard time getting the dream guitars that we want; not easy being a lefty.
@@scottdahlberg4890 I sometimes debate just entirley re-learning guitar right handed.
@@HughManatea Not me brother. It just feels natural left handed. I tried right handed once. Feels so odd and wrong to me.
Both the Japanese and USA Jackson custom shop has no issues doing lefty’s.
@@ibanezleftyclub Yeah, but thats kind of the point.
You can tell he really likes it.
My dream guitar was the Alexi's ESP. It just got replaced.
jeff rules
Looks and sounds Awesome..Great action .
his Schecter guitars were Badass

Sounds like Jackson is following in Gibson’s footsteps!
I bought this yesterday
Just an amazing axe and guitarist!!! Love everything about it 🤘🏻🤯
$7000 price tag is great too
Andrew Aldcroft No one forced you to buy you know.. 🤷♂️
I need that as a 7 string RR.
MONSTER !!!
7k is just stupid, you can get a 100% custom built to your specs guitar with the best hardware out there for that price or less instead of a stupid lame signature model
It's definitely disappointing. Who do they think is buying this? 7k is like a car for most musicians.
@@majav15mg still not worth it
If you dont have th money..
This dude is jaw dropping to watch with Arch Enemy, I got one of his picks that was on the ground that no one saw at a show of theirs back in late 2017
Jeff Loomis - from what I read sometime back - auditioned (or wanted to) for Megadeth but was rejected because he was "too young" according to Dave Mustaine. I guess the a signature Kelly is one way of getting a little closer to that dream.
Amazing guitar. Jeff.. you have a great taste! Jackson should ask you to remodeling jackson King V too. Since Mustaine left the brand King V was never the same. They could do the same idea you did with kelly. Please embrace King V too and do your second model. You nailed it! My dream was to have Mustaine's model. Since they don't produce it anymore I want yours now! Beautiful!
I love Jackson Guitats!
Best guitar player live on this planet!
Jackson guitars are awesome
I remember after a while the top of the Kelly shape used to dig into my chest while playing. It is pretty though.
5:54. Who is that playing? Zack Wylde? lol. Im so used to hearing Loomis play diminished sweeps and solos in Nevermore.
Lol. Seriously. Zack Wylde. Lol. What the hell is Jeff doing? I feel like he has been hiding in a trailer or somewhere.. only to be carted out on stage for some bluesy groove metal and back to hiding. Arch Enemy is ok but damn Jeff run to the Hills!!! Get out of there.
Got to pay this guitar at winter Namm this past year. It is amazing! Sadly they were selling it for $6,666.00 I have a old Schecter JL7 from 2012. Still plays great and cost 1200 bucks....
Cost aside it is a bloody stunning guitar.
looks great, very cool guitar
Best looking Kelly ever..but I can't picture him without his old maple neck 7 String Schecter
Just a soon as we get a pro model with an ebony board Im in!!!!!!!.......
