Carefully chosen set of features makes Michael Kelly's Hex Deluxe a really good guitar. Some might say that it lacks some of the features, but Hex Deluxe's features still fulfill an average musician's needs. You won't be wrong to go for this axe 'cause it has a wide array of different sounds and a lot of possibilities for tweaking the sound to make it yours. Getting one of Michael Kelly's Hex Deluxe is a way to go.

Not the best sounding guitar, Michael Kelly's Hex Deluxe is still usable for not so much demanding musicians, for its tone is not the best in its class. Hex Deluxe could sound better if you take the time and pair it with a good amp while fiddling with settings. Once you find the right tone it can be played without noticing some obvious weak spots.
