Michael Kelly is an American guitar, bass and mandolin manufacturer, based in Clearwater, Fl. For years Michael Kelly Guitars has been known for building instruments that put sound first and yet often also offers show stopping looks. Michael Kelly is committed to offering products that have unique looks, playability, tone and value. Pick up any of their instruments and you will clearly see their focus! The new Michael Kelly Dragonfly Acoustic Bass clearly excels from that pedigree.
The Dragonfly 4 Fretless is Michael Kelly's red hot Limited Edition model! The Dragonfly Fretless remains the top selling fretless acoustic bass in the world! It is beautiful in appearance, smooth in performance and has great tone. Deep, growling fretless tone combined with elegant limited-edition looks!
Only with the Dragonfly Fretless do you get real quilt maple on the top, back and sides. The brighter and clearer tone that this provides is one of the reasons so many people have selected the Dragonfly Fretless. Of course you also get an amazing looking Dragonfly accented vine inlay that adorns the fingerboard. It is made from real abalone and pearl for the ultimate in instrument extravagance.
Other upgrades on the Dragonfly Fretless includes hand scalloped bracing, a double adjustable truss rod and dual graphite reinforcement rods for added neck stability and longevity. Like with all of our basses you get improved feel with our 34" scale for the perfect string response. The Dragonfly Fretless also has Michael Kelly's popular Top Dot markers. These are small stealth-like dots that show where each fret would normally be. They are hidden for a clean look, but a great resource when you need them.
