What model of the jackson kelly do you have? Does it already have some sort of tremelo system?
www.floydrose.com
You can check out their bridges and see what ones will fit your guitar.

Uhh just tell us if it has a cavity for a tremelo already. If it doesnt then you would have to get one routed or you can get a kahler tremelo (I am not sure how kahlers work so I might be wrong on if it needs a cavity or not).

EDIT: Ok I looked around to see if I could see something like your guitar

Im not sure if this is like your guitar but if it is, then an original Floyd Rose or a Floyd rose Pro should work in your guitar

Hey thanks cannibal for the info, yes thats exactly like my guitar. Ok then the original floyd rose and floyd rose pro will fit, thanks. Another thing, do you know any websites that sell this original floyd rose, because i have only seen the www.floydrose.com and they dont sell there.

Well if that guitar is like yours then you already have a tremelo... But if your looking for the real Floyd Roses then check out this site to buy them

http://www.dreamlandguitars.com/floydrose.html

Gotta give credit to BLS, he showed me that site.

Most licenced Floyd Tremolo cavities will take a Original Floyd Rose trem, it's always a good upgrade, especially if your licenced trem is giving you trouble.

The only exceptions (that I'm aware of) are with Ibanez.... the Edge-Pro trems are a different size to Original Floyd Roses and subsequently they will not fit. The Lo-TRS trems will take an OFR, but The Edge-Pro II won't (on a lot of the post '03 Korean made Ibanez's). The Edge-Pro II trem rout will also not take the better Edge-Pro model (which comes as standard on most '03 Japanese models)

But your Jackson should be fine

but you can find the exact measurements required if you look on www.warmoth.com in the hardware/bridges/FR section.

one think you have to worry about is if the guitar has a FR II copy. If it does and origanal flody wont fit because the acual cavity will be too small.

Thats when you would want to get a Floyd Rose Pro. They're smaller.
