Okay, which one of you has it?

Oye. Interesting that they call it an "Adrian Smith Signature Model". Has his sig on the headstock, which I never noticed from the "action" shots we have seen. Very interesting. Sounds like the most clear confirmation of a sig model up to this point. Still a pretty weak reed to hang the idea of a sig model on, but certainly seems to support the idea.

So many scumbag thieves out there. If it was done after the show I'm guessing it was done at the airport, probably an employee. Wonder if they knew what they were stealing. EDIT- maybe not at the airport- They're in Bucharest tonight, had an off day Sunday. Probably flew out yesterday, so maybe it really was bagged from backstage. Brutal.

Weird, JCF is telling me that my posts must be approved by admins to show up. So if there's a double tap, sorry.

I think this is one case that IronMaiden.com won't mind fanclub only material reproduced. What better place to put the APB out for this axe than JCF?

ADRIAN SMITH GUITAR STOLEN!
Published: August 4, 2008


Adrian's new Jackson guitar was stolen after the show in Athens on Saturday night.
Can all Maiden fans please be on the lookout for the guitar.
It will be extremely hard to get rid of as it's the only one in the world.
There will be a reward of a Maiden tour jacket and I'm sure a hand written letter of thanks from Adrian for anyone with information leading to the recovery of the guitar.

DESCRIPTION:
JACKSON STRAT COL. WHITE ADRIAN SMITH SIGNATURE MODEL, WHITE SCRATCH PLATE
EBONY FRETBOARD
ADRIAN SMITH SIGNATURE ON FRONT OF HEADSTOCK
HUMBUCKER BRIDGE PICK-UP
TWO SINGLE COIL PICK-UPS
RECTANGULAR BLACK MOULDED JACKSON GUITAR CASE.

That happened to me once I never saw the thread again.

Damn, that's unbelievable.

I just saw him play it last Thursday at the Wacken Open Air, now it's gone... that's terrible. Let's hope that it resurfaces soon!

[thunderhead]

Thats a sweet axe... I hope they accually produce it.

It's some weird glitch in the system that happened when the board was recently upgraded. It's been happening to everybody. I think they're being flagged by a new spam filter or something. Hopefully Jeremy can work the bugs out.

Toe- I deleted it now that it's up, but it IS from a spam filter. I had initially just cut/pasted the message from the site, without adding any comments, or attaching the photo. It was a pure paste. Somehow the board must recognize it, and that must be how spambots work too- Blast out a pasted, already formatted post.

So I guess leave it as is, and if you're going to paste something, make sure you flap yer gums about something in the post as well.

Killer guitar. Hope they produce it here - I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Sucks about it being stolen, though. F'n thieves blow. Hope Adrian gets it back.

Maiden w/Priest was the first concert I ever went to, way back in the 'day. Good times!

[neilli]

Wow - someone wants one as much as I do Sucks that it was stolen. Thieves should be castrated.

It's cool to read that Adrian wants it back rather than just ordering another one though...

[AK47]

Ha!

Thats what Jackson gets for not allowing the custom orders.

If I found the guitar I would tell Adrian on the way to return it the guitar was lost in a tragic boating accident please tell me the cost of this guitar and I will Paypal it to you.

[neilli]

LOL - if I found it, I'd just ask that they agree to build me one for my finders fee. I'd pay for it, they'd just have to agree to build it!

[markD]

wow, that sucks, but it WOULD make an awesome signature model.....i hope he finds it!!
