For the player who loves the powerful tone of the EMG 81/85 combination.

Michael Kelly presents the Patriot Premium, an electric guitar for the player who loves the tone of the classic EMG 81/85 combination or the player who wants a "throw down and look bad ass while doing it" guitar. Armed with all the superior features to make the Patriot guitar a tonal beast, the Premium is also adorned with a whole host of envy-worthy appearance upgrades. In the tone department, you'll find the classic EMG 81/85 pickup configuration, a TonePros bridge, ebony fingerboard, set-neck construction and a mahogany body with a solid 1/2" maple cap that gives the Premium guitar a tailored metal growl. For convenience, Grover tuners help keep things in tune. To ensure that you'll look as amazing as you'll sound, Michael Kelly adds quilt maple or flame maple to the top in 3 of the 4 striking finishes. Real pearl fingerboard markers and full abalone binding on the body, neck and matching headstock create a subtle yet unmistakable reminder that the Patriot Premium is one high-end electric guitar. For your next appearance on stage or garage jam put a premium on your tone and check out the Michael Kelly Patriot Premium.
