Michael Kelly Guitars announced today that Mike Keller, guitarist for The Red Chord has been added to their artist roster. Mike will be playing the all-new Michael Kelly Vex.

Chaz Winzenread, artist relations said, “Mike is one of those phenomenal players, we’re really excited to have him in the Michael Kelly family. We’re also equally excited about him being our first artist playing the new Vex!”. Mike Keller is also known for his solo project, Meek is Murder where he plays all instruments and performs all vocals.

More Sneak Peeks! We spy on ourselves again!

I spotted this prototype guitar the other day on our Product Manager’s workbench. As soon as he stepped out of his office, I snuck in with my camera! I just might get into trouble for this one! Anyway, it looks to be our Patriot shape with several major deviations from what we’ve produced in the past. Don’t know the name, specs or even if we will produce this. What do you think of this prototype Patriot?

We couldn’t resist! Below is a all new guitar coming to Michael Kelly’s line up in 2008. This particular body core is the first prototype for review. If you look closely, you’ll notice a few firsts for a Michael Kelly Guitar. Take a look and let us know what your thoughts are and what you think it should be called.
