Built upon the company's 1950s line, the new guitar uses three single-coils and a Super Six wiring mod.
Anaheim, CA (January 16, 2020) -- Michael Kelly Guitars, the “boutique within reach” guitar brand, is set to release the new Triple 50 electric guitar at NAMM 2020. The Triple 50 takes the beloved classic two-single-coil pickup configuration and adds a third single coil pickup. While still retaining the true sounds of the Michael Kelly 1950s line, the Super Six wiring mod offers players a wider variety of tones accessible through the mini toggle switch, which activates the middle pickup. The Triple 50 (MAP $499.99) in Burl Black or Gloss Black finish are available for sale now via michaelkellyguitars.com and Michael Kelly’s growing authorized dealer network.
The fusion of vintage and modern goes further than the electronics. The traditional bridge brings a classic look, while the compound radius fingerboard offers comfortable, modern playability. The thoroughly modern look of the Black Burl finish features an Ebony fretboard while the classic Gloss Black finish is beautifully paired with an elegant Maple fretboard. Gig bag and hard case available.
The custom designed Rockfield® pickups are enhanced with the Super Six wiring mod, making it the most tonally diverse model in the 1950s series. At home, on stage, or on the road, it’s the ideal guitar for country, rock, gospel, and so much more.
1950s Series
Inspired by the vintage finds of the golden era of electric guitar making, the 1950s Series offers features and sonic capabilities of those memorable instruments but with modern day appointments and production techniques. All models feature an exotic wood top and contoured arm cut, master volume and master tone controls.

Michael Kelly Guitars is once again teaming up with Lindy Fralin for the Michael Kelly CC50 Fralin.
Anaheim, CA (January 23, 2016) -- Michael Kelly Guitars is once again teaming up with esteemed pickup builder Lindy Fralin for the Michael Kelly CC50 Fralin guitar. The combination of the Steel Poled 43 pickups with the ebony topped body optimizes this custom model to deliver a full, rich, and dynamic tone. These short run guitars are available now at www.michaelkellyguitars.com and select dealers.
The Steel Poled 43 pickups, named for the steel adjustable pole pieces, have a bar magnet in the back and are wound with 43 gauge wire which gives the pickup 25% more output. The bridge pickup registers at 10k ohms, along the lines of a P-90, making it a very strong single coil. The single coil in the neck registers at 8.5k ohms. In addition to the distinct pickups, the wiring has been modified with a specific set of CTS and Bourne pots and a Mojotone Dijon cap creating a better, cleaner signal. A push-pull feature has also been added to reverse the phase and give additional tone options.
This alder body guitar comes with maple binding and striped ebony top. The 25.5” bolt on maple neck has a 10.5” radius, rosewood fretboard, 22 frets, and dot inlays. The 1950 headstock includes die cast tuning keys. Controls include master and tone volume and a three-way blade switch. The CC50 Fralin is complete with a T-style bridge and a chrome hardware finish.
