Help gunch pick out a pointy

[MetalDestroyer]

Kelly stars are rare as hen's teeth. Super hard to find them and when they do pop up they get bought near instantly. I've seen maybe 3 for sale in the last 4 years.

Essex Recording Studios is selling one as well, shockingly for less than this as opposed to their usual inflated to oblivion nonsense

Jackson MIJ Kelly Star RARE Randy Rhoads-Kelly 24 Fret Hybrid Reverse

Jackson MIJ Kelly Star 24 Fret HH Floyd Rose Reverse Headstock Guitar. This is an extremely rare model. We have the largest Jackson collection in Europe, and this is the only example we have ever been able to get our hands on in the flesh. The body is a hybrid between the iconic Randy Rhoads...

Ormsby metal X with a good strap and some weights. Top tier upper fret access, comfy neck, SS frets with great fretwork, and the slightly extended scale length on the 7s feels really nice. I may be willing to sell mine atm since I'm feeling more comfortable on 6s atm, otherwise they're out there for decent prices. I didn't love the stock pickups but they're not bad at all and it has better specs than just about anything in the price range.

Cons are it'll eat shit into the ground if you're not ready and stand up with it. Other than that, you won't find a death kelly replica anywhere.

I'd get that Xiphos 7 Perle body with the LoPro route for $230 on Ebay, upgrade and customize it = lifer guitar.

Edit: upper fret access is limited on those so maybe a Rhoads, That Perle Star Destroyer is pretty neat too.

Arrow and Warrior seem like the moves right now but I’m leaning more to Arrow

Holy shit that Kelly Star is siiiiiiiiiiick

my six-string pointy is the Bich SE from 2005 or so. the Mick sig that never was. I have a Black Winter in the bridge. It's five flavor fruit-punch free!

Save for a bit and get a guitar you can enjoy forever.

When I’m not still wanting an RG or Soloist it’s still either Sammy Duet star, Rhoads, Arrow or Warrior, which doesn’t narrow it down at all mind you but that’s how GAS be

I really enjoy my SD2 the scale is a nice change, the neck is comfortable and I really like the single hum bucker and the reverse headstock is the icing on the cake. Comfortable to play sitting down too.

JS32T warrior will knock your socks off for the money.

Wes Borlands left handed-right handed-conversion KV is one of my fav guitars of all time!

Do you care about where it's made? Do you want the proper amount of strings or one of those weird ones that's missing a string?

I was thrown off a little at first, but I see now that you linked to one of those weird ones that's missing a string.
