Black Dahlia Murder guitarist Brandon Ellis has captivated the metal world since taking on lead guitar duties on the band's 2017 album, Nightbringers. Jackson is proud to honor the incredible talent of this self-taught axe master with the Pro Series Signature Brandon Ellis Kelly. This signature model exudes metal sophistication while delivering a commanding tone and high-performance efficiency.

This Kelly Signature features lightweight resonant alder wings and a maple neck that runs through the body with graphite reinforcement and a beveled joint for enhanced sustain, stability, and comfort. Designed for devastating speed, its ebony fingerboard with a 12"-16" compound radius hosts 24 jumbo frets and inverted pearloid shark fin inlays.

Ready to roar, this Kelly Signature also comes equipped with a Seymour Duncan Parallel Axis humbucker at the bridge position. This high-output humbucker delivers bright, expressive highs and infinite sustain, while a Floyd Rose Series 1000 double-locking tremolo provides exceptional dynamic response and reliable tuning stability during extreme tone changes.

Artist Signature

Jackson Artist Signature guitars and basses carry the names, preferred features, and personalized touches of some of the greatest metal musicians of all time, such as Randy Rhoads, Marty Friedman, Mick Thomson... and also more contemporary figures like Misha Mansoor or Gus G. They are designed in collaboration with Jackson master builders as the ultimate expression of the artist's talent and style.

The first thing you notice about a Jackson Pro Series instrument is its stunning aesthetic—these guitars look truly beautiful. But what’s most interesting about this series is the instrument’s ergonomics and the ultra-sleek feel it offers when playing. Classic designs with professional features, outstanding tone, and comfort to play at lightning speed. These guitars are well-balanced and remarkably affordable.

About Jackson Guitars

Jackson began in the late 1970s, during a resurgence of extravagant, virtuoso heavy music. A small guitar repair shop in Southern California, operated by Grover Jackson, responded to the call with a new generation of high-performance custom guitars bearing Jackson’s name on the headstock. Since then, Jackson guitars have been universally acclaimed as metal guitars.
