The Michael Kelly 1962 Flame is a masterfully engineered S-style electric guitar that seamlessly blends timeless double-cutaway aesthetics with high-performance modern upgrades. Drenched in a show-stopping Transparent Red gloss finish that accentuates the deep, natural ripples of its premium wood grain, this guitar is built to demand attention under stage lights. Whether you are laying down thick, chugging rhythms or flying through blistering lead solos, the 1962 Flame provides an incredibly agile and sonically expansive foundation for any player.
What makes the Michael Kelly 1962 Flame a tonal beast?
The core of this guitar's immense versatility lies in its premium tonewood selection and intelligent electronics configuration. Michael Kelly pairs a contoured, resonant Basswood body with a striking Flame Maple top, wrapped in elegant cream body binding. This lightweight combination delivers an exceptionally balanced structural response with plenty of natural sustain. Driven by a dual set of custom-voiced Rockfield PAF Humbuckers, the guitar pumps out an aggressive, punchy mid-range bite. Need retro, glassy single-coil tones? Simply flip the dedicated mini-toggle coil-split switch to instantly transform your humbuckers into crisp, chime-infused single coils on the fly.
Core Performance & Hardware Feature Set
- Roasted Flame Maple Neck & Fretboard: The bolt-on maple neck and fingerboard undergo a specialized roasting process that removes excess moisture. This drastically increases wood stability against seasonal climate shifts while uncovering gorgeous, high-contrast wood flaming.
- Modern "C" Profile & 13.8" Radius: Engineered for fast, effortless fretwork. The slim neck shape combines with a flatter 13.8-inch fretboard radius to prevent string choking during wide note bends.
- MK Twin-Edge 2-Point Floating Tremolo: Step up from restrictive vintage 6-screw bridges. This ultra-smooth 2-point tremolo system provides incredible tuning stability while allowing for dramatic, expressive pitch dives and whammy action.
- Unrestricted Upper-Fret Access: The iconic double-cutaway silhouette is combined with a subtly curved neck heel pocket. This ergonomic carving lets your hand glide effortlessly up to the 22nd medium jumbo fret without hitting a blocky joint.
- Frictionless Graphite Nut: A high-grade 42mm graphite nut ensures your strings slide smoothly through the slots without binding or catching, minimizing tuning slips during heavy tremolo use.
- Boutique Visual Styling: Crowned with a premium matching Transparent Red headstock and sleek nickel-finished hardware for a unified, high-end appearance.
