Jeff Loomis' technically demanding guitar work with Nevermore, Arch Enemy, and as a solo artist has earned him a top spot on many "best metal guitarist" lists. If you've ever heard him play, it's easy to understand why. The Jackson Pro Series Signature Jeff Loomis Kelly HT6 is a worthy solidbody electric guitar for a musician of its namesake's caliber. This limited-edition, high-performance axe boasts an aggressive-looking basswood body with a set-through, graphite-reinforced, 3-piece maple Jackson Speed neck and a 24-fret, compound-radius, ebony fingerboard. A set of Seymour Duncan Jeff Loomis Signature Blackouts puts enough searing active humbucking tones at your disposal to conquer dystopia. An ultra-reliable Hipshot fixed bridge and Jackson die-cast locking tuners round out the Jeff Loomis Kelly HT6's hardware. You also get a classic Jackson pointed headstock and pearloid Sharkfin fingerboard inlays, a stunning satin finish, and white binding throughout. Players searching for a rock-solid electric guitar for their next prog-metal opus will find that the Pro Series Signature Jeff Loomis Kelly HT6 checks all the right boxes.

Built for inexhaustible savagery





Every detail of the Pro Series Signature Jeff Loomis Kelly HT6 was designed with technical players in mind. Its angular, aggressive-looking body was carved from solid basswood, a tonewood with a defined, mid-forward acoustic sound that cuts through dense mixes like a hot knife through butter. It features a graphite-reinforced, 3-piece maple Jackson Speed neck with a set-through joint and a low-drag satin finish. Its 24-fret ebony fingerboard boasts a lightning-fast compound radius and a zero-bind Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut. The guitarists here at Sweetwater have yet to attempt a playing technique that doesn't feel faster and easier on the Jeff Loomis Kelly HT6.
