Jackson USA Diablo Guitars Custom “War is Hell” Kelly Battle Worn Urban Camo 666 Graphic w/OHSC

Jackson USA Custom "War is Hell" Kelly #1 of 1 in Battle Worn Urban Camo 666 Graphic finish By Mike Learn made in 2022 with Original Hard Shell Case.

This Jackson USA Kelly Custom Select is a one of a kind creation envisioned and designed by Diablo Guitars. When we first received this Jackson Kelly and saw the factory serial number ending in 666, we immediately made plans for it. We turned the guitar into a rugged, aggressive one of a kind instrument that makes a statement true to the Diablo Guitars brand. Our goal was to create something that we would feel inspired to play, and feel great pride in knowing it was the only one in existence, born here at Diablo Guitars.

The art concept was designed by Diablo Guitar's own Hilding Thorn, who partnered with world renown guitar painter and artist Mike Learn. The custom Mike Learn graphics cover the entire body including front, back, sides neck and headstock. The ‘Urban Camo' concept was based on the aesthetics of a World War II era Tank if still kept in commission today, battle worn and wrapped in barbed wire, 3D looking rusted hardware, an upside down cross and of course the "666" front and center. The guitar is fittingly titled "War is Hell" which is depicted on the custom made truss rod cover. Once the graphic was completed, Hilding loaded the guitar with custom shop Bare Knuckle Handwound Aged Nickel Cold Sweat humbuckers that fit the overall aesthetic and vibe. The hardware was upgraded for both aesthetic and performance purposes as well. FU-Tone brass block, titanium hardware, pop-in trem arm and silent springs have been added.
