This is one sweet looking and sweet sounding guitar. Double humbuckers that can be spit and they are very nice. The body and neck are flawless. I got it when it was on "price drop". Excellent deal, thanks to zZounds, who is always great to work with. If you ever need gear I am advising you to start here. Very good folks to work with. This Michael Kelly '53 DB is my first of theirs but won't be the last. Made in Indonesia and crafted very well. Get yourself one and see . The mod 8 wiring really separates it from other manufacturers. I love T-style guitars and this one plays really well and the aesthetics of it is excellent. If you've been wondering about purchasing an MK all I can say is, go for it. I think you'll be satisfied. This is my third guitar purchase through zZounds and a couple of amps. I will always use them for gear. I've yet to send anything back to them due to to being substandard, screwed up , or a lemon. When I contacted MK to register my guitar for warranty purpose they immediately contacted me back and sent me a really nice MK tee shirt for free. Personally I thought that was pretty cool. It's a good quality tee also.

I could not believe how good this guitar looks, plays and sounds. I have other name brand guitars that I love, but this has become my new favorite. In fact I had just purchased a Fender Telecaster 2 days before this guitar was delivered. After an hour of playing this axe, I packed up the Fender and took it back for a refund.

So, it took me a while to find the ding. Very tiny next to the binding. The setup out of the box is good. The frets ends do need a bit of work, but I can do that myself. The guitar sounds great even through my Roland Mobile Cube. It sounds as good as the Fender Modern Player tele I sold five years ago. The scratch & dent prices was approximately 34% off. What a bargan!

I usually wait a while before doing a review but I was immediately impressed by the sound and quality of this guitar. Setup was very nice, not the best fret edge work but not unplayable. Sharp edges on the nut could kill you if you’re stupid

I love Michael Kelly guitars and this one makes number 5! I don’t think you can do much better for the price. I also have some high dollar guitars, but I find myself reaching for Michael Kelly as often as any of them. I had a setup done and swapped the stock pickups (which aren’t bad) with a set of Seymour Duncan Psyclones. It sounds incredible! I had largely switched over to shorter scale guitars but this thing is easy to play. It looks great and has decent tuners. Nice weight to it. Not too heavy but not too light. Very resonant and no neck dive. I love it and I highly recommend it!

Previously I stated the maple top was not well matched but in better lighting and different angle I see that the top is actually book matched. Everything else stands. Great guitar, pls ignore corny joke about the nut.
