The name Kelley has a long and fine history in Ireland. Sometimes, the second "e" was left off, often due to the local Church not writing it correctly. The Kelley's traveled all over the world. We had a neighbor, Mr. Kelley, whose daughter Mary, went to our Catholic School , Most Holy Redeemer, in San Francisco. Mr. and Mrs. Kelley, had very strong Irish brogue's, and I enjoyed listening to them.Nice guitar!
But there's an e missing in the word Kelley?
I hope he doesn't suck all the gold off of it. Gorgeous guitar except for the saliva.Looks Delicious, how's it taste?
I think thats what drew me to it, along with the versatility. One toggle position is just Humbuckers, middle is Humbuckers' and Fishman Powerchip/Acoutsic Bridge, and position 3 is just the Fishman Powerchip/Acoutsic Bridge. One volume knob for Humbucker's with push/pull coil tap, one volume knob for Acoustic bridge, and one tone knob for the Humbucker's. Initially, I was looking at the Fender Acoustasonic, but the Michael Kelly seemed to fit the bill and is a lot more affordable.Is that a spalted maple top
Very nice! I've looked at those Hybrid Specials more than once over the years.
I definitely plan to purchase more of their guitar's, I played a couple of the Tele's and was really impressed.My Michael Kelly is one of my favorite guitars to play and an incredibly good value for the money
We had a Scotch Irish family on our block. The dad was Irish (and a policeman) and the mom Scott. The Scots are one of the five Irish Tribes. An Irish joke when you see a Scottie: "Donald, where are your trousers"? That is a question I heard often.I read somewhere once, that the extra E was added by the wealthy Irish Catholics back east (Like the Kennedy's) in order to differentiate themselves from the protestant Irish immigrants. The Irish immigrants were at the bottom of the class order back then. My Dad always said it meant we were "Scotch Irish", but there is no such thing. It was the term Scotch Irish and the spelling change that the New England Irish Catholics invented to set themselves above the common Irish immigrant trash.
Fortunately my family has proven that we truly belong at bottom of the class order, in spite of how we spell our last name.
