If you’ve ever wanted to authentically rip the solo from “Tornado Of Souls”, then you really ought to go buy Marty Friedman<\/a><\/strong>‘s 1985 Jackson Kelly San Dimas.<\/p>\n The 1985 Jackson Kelly San Dimas was used on Megadeth<\/a><\/strong>‘s Rust In Peace<\/em> and Countdown To Extinction<\/em> records, Cacophony<\/strong>‘s Speed Metal Symphony<\/em>, and Friedman<\/a><\/strong>‘s own Dragon’s Kiss<\/em> and Scenes<\/em> records. It’s also reportedly one of the first 500 Jackson guitars ever built.<\/p>\n “I purchased it in Hawaii around 1985 while I was in the band Hawaii<\/strong>,” said Friedman<\/a><\/strong> in the certificate of authenticity, as obtained by Guitar World<\/a><\/em>. “It originally had a black-and-white tiger-striped graphic, along with two humbuckers and 2 tone pots. When I joined Megadeth<\/a><\/strong>, it was re-painted black and converted into a single humbucker with one volume pot.<\/p>\n “I did several Hawaii<\/strong> recordings and concerts with it. At one time, it even had a flame thrower on the headstock. This was my #2 touring guitar for most of my Megadeth<\/a><\/strong> years. Like Kelly #1 this guitar was featured in many ’90s magazines, Jackson catalogs, and advertisements.”<\/p>\n So what’s the catch? It’s $125,000, though the owner is at least taking offers\u2026 though how much lower than $125,000 they’re willing to go is a mystery. Bid or buy here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
