most recognizable features unique to the
Hex would be its six-in-line headstock.
Vex
The Vex’s unique features include a
beautifully arched top, an attractive

If you’ve ever wished for screaming electric and sweet
acoustic tones in one single guitar, the perfect blend
is now possible with the Michael Kelly Hybrid
Special. The Hybrid Special is the perfect stage and
studio instrument because it instantly switches from
full acoustic guitar tone to a ripping electric tone!
Want more? The Hybrid Special can also BLEND
both tones together creating endless variations of a
two guitar attack!
If you are performing live with a Hybrid Special or
using one in the studio you will love its dual amp
capabilities. When using the Y cable that is included,
the Hybrid Special sends out a signal from the
acoustic pickup to one amp and the electric signal to
another. Nothing can reproduce an acoustic signal
like a full range acoustic amp, so this feature can
really enhance your performance. You can also run
directly into two channels on a mixing board for live
or studio applications that will allow you to tailor the
sound and maximize each tone. Don’t have two amps
or a mixing board? Don’t worry. When you use a
standard guitar cable on the Hybrid Special, you get
a single signal that you can plug into any amp.

Personalized Performances
The ultimate custom guitar, this is how you will describe the Michael Kelly VisionaryTM model guitars.
What makes these true custom guitars is the ability to customize their performance to your preferences.
This is possible thanks to the patented Variable Set NeckTM. This allows you to adjust the action (string height)
to the precise height that you prefer with a simple turn of a hex key inserted in the back of the guitar.
In addition to delivering a custom feel, the Variable Set allows the instrument’s top to vibrate freely
by eliminating the muting created by the fingerboard traditionally being affixed to the top.
