Renowned for his work with The Black Dahlia Murder, Brandon Ellis has been captivating the metal realm with his flawless technique and crushing tone. Jackson is proud to honor the incredible talents of the self-taught axe ace with the Pro Plus Series Signature Brandon Ellis Kelly KE27. This signature behemoth seethes with metal sophistication while delivering massive sound and high-performance efficiency.

This signature Kelly features a resonant nyatoh body paired with a through-body maple neck with graphite reinforcement and scarf joint for enhanced sustain, stability, and comfort. Built for pulverizing speed, a 12”-16” compound radius maple fingerboard with black sharkfin inlays hosts 27 stainless steel frets. The compound radius optimizes rhythm comfort and lead precision, with flatter upper fret access enabling lightning-fast runs. The Floyd Rose R2 nut provides Brandon’s preferred narrower string spacing for faster playing.

This signature model is equipped with Ellis’s custom Seymour Duncan Signature Dyad Parallel Axis bridge pickup—a high-output humbucker featuring unique hybrid coil design with singular bar magnet that delivers wide open, dynamic sound with increased clarity and bite under high gain distortion. The Seymour Duncan PA-STK neck pickup provides hum-free clarity with smooth sustain for melodic passages. A push-pull volume control with series/parallel functionality switches the wiring of the bridge humbucker’s coils (Dyad) from series to parallel. The series option offers a traditional humbucker sound and the parallel option a brighter, slightly lower output sound while retaining the hum-cancelling feature. The top-mount Gotoh GE1996T double-locking tremolo system delivers superior tuning stability during aggressive tremolo use, while the 25.1” scale length provides easier fretting and string bending without compromising intonation for low tunings.

Other features include a 3-way toggle switch, Dunlop dual-locking strap buttons, and Jackson sealed die-cast tuners.
