Jackson Pro Plus Series Signature Brandon Ellis Kelly, Gold Crackle

Jackson Pro Plus Series Signature Brandon Ellis Kelly Gold Crackle Electric Guitar

The Jackson Pro Plus Series Signature Brandon Ellis Kelly Gold Crackle is a high-performance electric guitar designed for modern metal players. Developed in collaboration with The Black Dahlia Murder guitarist Brandon Ellis, this signature model combines the aggressive Kelly body shape, premium components, and exceptional playability for demanding musicians.

Built for speed and precision

The resonant nyatoh body is paired with a neck-through maple neck featuring graphite reinforcement and a scarf joint for outstanding sustain, stability, and durability. The 25.1” scale length offers a comfortable balance between effortless string bending and excellent intonation, even in lower tunings.

27 stainless steel frets and compound radius fingerboard

The maple fingerboard features a 12”–16” compound radius design that provides comfortable chord work in the lower register while allowing fast lead playing and low action higher up the neck. With 27 jumbo stainless steel frets, black sharkfin inlays, and Luminlay side dots, this guitar is built for maximum performance on stage and in the studio.

Seymour Duncan signature pickups

The bridge position features Brandon Ellis’s custom Seymour Duncan Dyad Parallel Axis humbucker, delivering high output, exceptional clarity, and aggressive attack under high-gain conditions. The Seymour Duncan STK-1 Single-Coil neck pickup provides articulate clean tones and smooth sustain for melodic passages.

• Bridge Pickup: Seymour Duncan Dyad Parallel Axis
• Neck Pickup: Seymour Duncan STK-1 Single-Coil
• Switching: 3-way toggle switch
• Control: Push-pull volume control

Series/parallel switching versatility

The push-pull volume control allows the bridge pickup to switch between series and parallel operation. Series mode delivers a traditional high-output humbucker sound, while parallel mode provides a brighter and more open tone with slightly reduced output while maintaining hum cancellation.

Gotoh double-locking tremolo system

The top-mounted Gotoh GE1996T double-locking tremolo system offers exceptional tuning stability during aggressive tremolo use. Combined with the Floyd Rose 1000 Series locking nut and Jackson sealed die-cast tuners, it provides reliable performance under demanding playing conditions.
