Jackson Pro Plus Pure Metal Limited Edition Kelly KE1A, Satin Black Overview

The Jackson Pro Plus Pure Metal Limited Edition Kelly KE1A, Satin Black is built for players who want uncompromising speed, power and aggression. Its iconic Kelly body shape delivers unmistakable Jackson attitude, while the poplar construction keeps the response tight and focused. A satin black finish adds a stealthy, stripped-back look that suits the guitar’s no-nonsense approach, making it feel purpose-built for heavy riffing and high-energy performance.

A three-piece maple neck-through construction runs the full length of the body, allowing completely unhindered access to the upper frets. The ebony fingerboard features a 12–16 inch compound radius, 24 jumbo stainless steel frets and sharkfin inlays. A single Bare Knuckle Holy Diver humbucker delivers everything from tight, articulate rhythm tones to soaring lead sounds. Combined with a Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo and rock-solid hardware, the KE1A is designed to perform night after night.

Pure metal Bare Knuckle Holy Diver pickup

The single Bare Knuckle Holy Diver humbucker is voiced for powerful, high-gain performance without losing clarity. Tight low end keeps palm-muted riffs defined, while aggressive mids help solos cut through dense mixes. The pickup’s smooth, open high end supports expressive lead work and controlled cleans when you roll back the volume. Handwound in the UK, it delivers an 80s-inspired voice that balances punch, sustain and articulation, perfect for modern metal playing.

Neck-through maple construction and sustain

The three-piece maple neck-through design extends through the entire body, increasing sustain and creating a smooth transition across the full scale length. This construction also improves upper-fret access, removing the heel entirely from the playing equation. Graphite reinforcement rods flank the truss rod, adding stability and helping the neck resist movement from temperature or humidity changes. The result is a solid, consistent feel suited to touring and heavy use.

Fast ebony fingerboard and stainless steel frets

An ebony fingerboard provides a slick, immediate response under the fingers, enhanced by a 12–16 inch compound radius that flattens higher up the neck. This supports wide bends, fast runs and accurate intonation during technical passages. Twenty four jumbo stainless steel frets add durability and a smooth feel that resists wear over time. Luminlay side dots improve visibility on dark stages, keeping position shifts confident during live performances.

Floyd Rose tremolo and stage-ready hardware

A recessed Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo allows extreme pitch manipulation without ruining your tuning. Dive bombs, squeals and flutter effects remain controlled thanks to the locking nut and bridge design. Jackson sealed die-cast tuners and locking strap buttons add reliability for energetic live shows. Finished with durable black hardware and supplied with a gig bag, the KE1A is built to withstand relentless rehearsals, recording sessions and touring schedules.
