The Kelly typically features the classic Jackson pointed head-stock. The neck is generally of a very thin profile, featuring a standard 24 jumbo frets, a neck-thru design and is generally quite extended from the body.

[2] The frets are arrayed on an angle, in contrast to the standard perpendicular arrangement of other guitars.

On a fretted bass, metal frets divide the fingerboard into semitone divisions (as on a guitar). The original Fender basses had 20 frets, but modern basses may have 24 or more.
