Jeff Loomis's USA Signature Kelly is a neck-through build in black on black. The ash body has a sandblasted ash top under the Black finish, and the quartersawn maple neck runs through it with graphite reinforcement and a scarf joint.
The bound ebony board has a 12" to 16" compound radius, which flattens toward the upper frets for bends, along with 24 jumbo stainless steel frets, mother of pearl sharkfin inlays and Luminlay side dots that stay visible on a dark stage. Two Seymour Duncan Jeff Loomis Signature Blackouts, active, run through one volume and a three-way toggle. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series double-locking tremolo returns to pitch after heavy bar work, and a truss rod wheel at the heel makes neck adjustments quick.
For a Kelly with an alder body, a Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 and Jazz SH-2N, and a Floyd Rose Original, look at the USA Select Kelly KE2.
