For Sale: 2009 Michael Kelly Patriot Supreme w/ hardshell case
As the original owner of this 2009 Michael Kelly Patriot Supreme, I’ve cherished every note it has produced.
This guitar has spent its days serenading the walls of my smoke-free home, its mahogany body resonating with warmth and character.
This is a Korean-made guitar before Michael Kelly moved much of its production to Indonesia.
Professionally set up from the moment it entered my possession, this instrument boasts impeccable playability.
The frets, like old friends, have guided countless melodies, and the sound—oh, the sound—is nothing short of sublime.
Whether strummed gently or attacked with fervor, it responds with grace and power.
Yet, as life often unfolds, I find myself surrounded by a growing collection of guitars.
The Michael Kelly, though deserving of more attention, has patiently awaited its turn.
And so, with a touch of nostalgia and a hint of reluctance, I offer it for sale.
May its next owner discover the same joy and inspiration that has graced my fingertips.
Note: The guitar’s soulful history is not included in the sale, but the hardshell case is included and a Ralph Marlin strap, if interested.

Below is from the initial press release for this guitar in January 2009:
"The new Michael Kelly “Set-Thru” Neck Construction method is a modern upgrade to classic neck through construction.
The new Set-Through method used on the Patriot Supreme allows the neck to go much deeper into the body which provides many performance enhancing upgrades.
The benefits include overall tone, sustain and added access to upper notes which is not commonly possible on most single cutaway guitars.
The Patriot Supreme also boasts as standard materials a mahogany body, Rockfield SWC pickups, and ebony fingerboard.
Like all Patriot Guitars, the top is deeply carved and available in three finishes: Black Vapor over figured maple, Cherry Sunburst over flame maple and Tiger Eye over quilted maple.
The Patriot Supreme features new "Supreme" inlay, a standard Tune-o-matic style bridge, Grover Tuners, bound body, neck and color matched headstock.
In keeping with with the motto “Built on Sound” the guitar is equipped with award winning Rockfield pickups.
The Rockfield SWC pickups add a round warm tone with a tad more bite than normal that will please most players and playing styles.
