Overview
With the Triple 50, Michael Kelly has broken away from the traditional setup of two single coil pickups and added a third single coil pickup in between the normal bridge and neck pickups. They have also updated the Triple 50 with a wiring mod that utilizes the standard 3 way selector switch with an additional mini toggle switch that allows you to bring the middle single coil pickup in or out of your mix so that you get even more tonal options.
The Triple 50 is one of the most versatile and tonally rich models within Michael Kelly's 1950's line, and will quickly become your favorite go-to guitar.

The one guitar I've never owned is a Telecaster and I finally decided to pick one up, but oh, so many choices. Having had good luck with a Michael Kelly guitar in the past, I decided to check out their website and see what they had to offer. I came across this Triple 50's and checked out their video and also a couple of reviews on YouTube. I wasn't sure if I wanted one with a third pickup, but I decided to give it a go and boy am I glad I did. The third pickup adds a new dimension to it and this guitar sounds fantastic. I've never bought a guitar that came so perfectly setup from the factory. The action is low, frets are smooth with no buzz, and the intonation is right on. My thanks to zZounds for such a quick delivery and to Michael Kelly Guitars for such a quality instrument.
