Black Vapor Black Black, Back

The Michael Kelly Patriot Decree Electric Guitar features a set mahogany neck and mahogany body, rosewood fretboard, and Grover tuners. Usually you'd need to pay a lot more for quality features like these. But Michael Kelly has issued a decree that from this moment on, you don't have to sell your car to buy a good guitar.

The mahogany combines with a Tune-O-Matic-style bridge, string-thru construction, and PAF-Plus humbucker pickups to give you big, sustained tone. Medium jumbo frets are great for both blazing solos and a long night of big power chords. Chrome hardware and split diamond inlays complete the Patriot Decree guitar's look. Figured maple top on transparent finishes.

Michael Kelly Patriot Decree Electric Guitar Features:

  • CONSTRUCTION: Set-neck
  • BODY: Mahogany
  • TOP: Flame or figured maple (except black)
  • NECK: Mahogany
  • FRETBOARD: Rosewood
  • FRETS: 22 medium jumbo
  • SCALE: 24-3/4"

Choose the guitar that fits you and your budget. We guarantee you'll love it.

WOW what a great guitar

I can't believe how nice this guitar is for the money. The only difference between this model and the 'up'models are the fretboard (rosewood vs ebony)and the pickups (MK PAF plus vs rockfield). I compared this to several other LP clones and this guitar won hands down. Looks awsome, neck joint allows much easier access to upper frets, the pickups sound great, maybe the best blend of stock pups I've ever played, body nice n thick but not too heavy. You get great playability & Lots of bling for very nice price.

Just got the ¨Black Vapor¨, and it is as stunning in looks as it is smooth to play. The beautiful top wood finish and fretboard inlays, along with the delicate contour cream-colored striped lines around the body and headstock is breathtaking. The action on mine was perfect for me and needed no adjustments. The pick-ups sound better than I had imagined, however some knobs were tight and difficult to turn. Still, whether its blues or metal, they sound great, very versatile. Stays in tune remarkably well. Not too heavy. I would have paid a whole lot more for this axe and still be satisfied. Great way to maximize each dollar spent!

Really nice guitar with fabulous looks. Sounds very good with the stock electronics. Setup was not the greatest but that was an easy fix. Overall fit and finish is excellent for a guitar in this price range. Guitar is very solid and it feels like a quality instrument. Lot's of nice stock features too: body, neck an headstock binding, gorgeous inlays, grover tuners, string through body, adjustable bridge, 2 push pull knobs, nice flame top (book-matched very well). Overall - a wonderfull bargain for such a well equipped, nice sounding and great playing guitar!

Just received my Decree 3 days ago. This guitar makes you pixk it up and play it every time you walk by. Best playing guitar I've ever owned. I usually like my neck a bit beefier BUT, I can't really complain as my hands feel little fatigue after playing for an hour straight (and I am a rhythm guitarist). Also LOVE the neck joint contour.

I was pleasantly surprised with the Decree's weight, not as heavy as a Gibson or Epi. Very nice balanced guitar.

This guitar looks great too. Nice bevel top and full body, neck & headstock binding. GROVER tuners too!

Out of the box the set up was near perfect, unless your not a fan of low action. Slight buzzing but nothing that can't be adjusted in a few minutes.

The sound is really nice. Lots of tonality with the two PAF humbuckers and coil taps.

I would highly recommend this guitar to anyone.
