Boutique Within Reach 2015
Since 1999
The elaborate inlays, perfectly styled 3 piece back, discrete electronics and bold designs all tell you that this is a collection of boutique acoustic guitars. Indeed that is the case, the Triad delivers sonically and with playability on its visual promise. There are four great models to choose from.
Triad Acoustic Guitar Series
Triad Port The Triad Port has a bold new look, but it is much more. This offset soundhole placement was designed to create a larger resonate surface on the guitars' tops. The Michael Kelly craftsmen then tuned the bracing, side soundholes and top to optimize this design. You are going to love the way this sounds.

Triad 10E
Triad CE
There may be no peers to the Triad 10E. In addition to the exotic woods and top shelf electronics, what sets this guitar apart is the 10 strings. Contrary to traditional 12 string guitars, the 10 string set up is comprised of doubling the first, second, third and fourth strings. This provides a level of clarity, the option of better articulation and enhanced playing range all while retaining that thick and special 12-string type of tone.
Simple, elegant and clean. The Triad CE has an understated design with just the right touches. Its solid spruce top has an ultra-thin satin finish. The side soundholes and hand scalloped bracing bring home the great tone. Top: Back:

Rick Turner Series
Sojourn 4 Travel Bass with Gig Bag The Sojourn 4 Acoustic Travel Bass has a remarkably big sound for such a small instrument. The secret to its great acoustic tone is the solid Engelmann Spruce top and the fact that with its 24.5" scale it performs very well in standard tuning. With the Sojourn there is no need to transpose your music to a higher key. This bass delivers right out of the gig bag (which is included with purchase).

1950s Series
1952 The 1952 is built to easily morph from modern shred to vintage twang. It’s powerful humbuckers can each be individual coil-taped to switch from humbucker to single coil mode. Visually you can not help put notice the flame maple exotic wood top and the rock maple fingerboard. As with all 1950 series guitars the 1952 sports Michael Kelly’s 50 Neck profile with the perfect blend of traditional comfort and modern speed. The 1952 is one of those guitars that once you pick it up, you just can not put it down.

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 five models feature an exotic wood top and contoured arm cut, master volume and master tone controls, a three way pickup selector, and coil taps for sonic range and versatility.

1953
1954
Just the right amount of vintage magic makes the 1953 the choice for those that are seeking a more traditional instrument. The traditionally voiced neck pickup is complimented by a stacked single coil in the bridge that switched between a vintage single coil and a fat humbucker tone. The ’53’s all-Alder body is capped with flame maple and you get the choice of a maple or rosewood fingerboard (based on color options). Traditional has never been more evolved.
The 1954 might be called the black sheep of the 1950s collection. It avoids tradition in favor of a bolder look and tone. You can’t help but notice the satin finish and exotic wood top. The powerful Rockfield SWC humbucker can be coil-tapped to deliver single-coil tone. The fast and comfortable neck is enhanced with a compound radius on the premium rosewood fingerboard. So askew tradition with your own 1954.

1955
1957
The 1955 might best embody Michael Kelly’s commitment to delivering guitars that are inspired not by the production cookie-cutter models, but rather by the best boutique builders in the world. The first attribute that you will recognize as uniquely boutique is the real flame maple binding. Other unique touches like the mini-humbucker neck pickup, compound radius fingerboard, highly figured quilt maple and swamp ash body further separate the 1955 from those high volume production guitars. Sonically the paid of Rockfield pickups are perfectly voiced for the 1955 model and each can be independently switched from humbucker to a traditional single coil tone with the included push/pull knobs. This is that boutique guitar find you have been looking for.
The Michael Kelly 1957 delivers six stringed luxury. Highly figured quilt maple tops off a premium swamp ash body, delivering the perfect blend of tone and weight. The Rockfield SWV neck pickup is perfectly combined with a Seymour Duncan Little '59™ in the bridge. This combination is made more potent with the additional capabilities to switch each independently from humbucker to a traditional single coil performance. The body of the 1957 is perfectly outlined with real flame maple binding. Don’t you deserve all of this?
