Michael Kelly 54Op Open Pore

An electric guitar designed to get straight to the point in the Michael Kelly range

The Michael Kelly 54OP fits the spirit of modern electric guitars focused on playability and efficiency: craftsmanship serving comfort, and a pickup configuration capable of covering both detailed clean tones and more powerful overdrives. Its "faded black" finish reinforces this positioning: an instrument with a discreet style, ready for both stage and studio.

For which guitarists and styles?

Thanks to its long scale length and HS configuration (single coil at the neck, humbucker at the bridge), this electric guitar is well suited for serious beginners as well as intermediate players looking for an evolving instrument. It is particularly comfortable in rock, blues, pop, indie, and in funk and clean registers on the neck pickup, while remaining solid for thicker sounds on the bridge side.

The sound

The sungkai body generally provides a balanced response, with a crisp attack and good clarity, helping to keep chords defined even with effects. The maple neck enhances dynamics and precision, while the ebony fingerboard offers a fast feel under the fingers and clear note definition, appreciated in lead playing.

The neck pickup, the MK Traditional Single Coil, highlights articulated clean tones, with detail for arpeggios and good expressiveness in blues. At the bridge, the Rockfield SWC Humbucker delivers higher output, present mids, and a thicker sound, practical for riffs and solos with overdrive, while limiting the typical noise of single coils.
