Michael Kelly Patriot Decree Set-Neck Purple Rain NEW

The Swede and I have really taken to. Outstanding value, great design, and just the kind of little something special that sets them apart from the herd.

The Patriot line from MK is just the kind of stylish and subtle spin on the LP setup that fits the bill for the Shack. And this perfect purple finish sealed the deal, especially since this was brand new, bought by someone who's GAS exceeded their wallet. The hang tags on the knobs are still on it.

Superb features: mahogany body (with a flame maple top) mahogany neck with set-neck construction, string-through, two MK PAF humbuckers with push-pull coil tap (for switching to single coil mode, a great feature for musical versatility).

And the beat goes on. High end Grover tuners, tune-o-matic bridge... no wonder this was a.

MK isn't offering the stage-perfect purple finish anymore, so this also has the potential to appreciate in value.  But in the meantime, you'll just want to play and play and play it.

About Automatic Jack
As with all the axes in the Automatic Jack Shack, the Swede -- my guitar craftsman and collaborator in gear -- has given this his full treatment, checking, fixing and optimizing all the electronics, hardware and functionality from headstock on down. Of course, our vintage is old stuff, so bear in mind that many of our listings are for 30-40+ year-old instruments, with the typical kind of wear and quirks that comes with that. Vintage gear tends to be imperfect and in need of ongoing care.  We are dedicated to delivering the most playable, high-quality and modestly-priced guitars and gear we can. But we are players and people. We want to offer great deals and deal with great people.
