I love the Adrian Smith idea.... I have been playing with the idea of getting an AS and hacking the shit out of it like the one he used on somewhere in time with all the synth shit. I'm not a big artist model guy but something about it appeals to me.

About halfway down on left. I'd have to find a non pickguarded body tho....

Lol the 5 way and knob behind the trem just crack me up.....plus it has as much shit on it as a Ripley. The control cavity must be a nightmare. I want one.... And I'm probably the only one.

Iron Maiden are the reason I use the bridge/middle position so much. that little breakdown in heaven can wait is the most beautiful tone ive ever heard

Iron Maiden and beautiful in the same post.. Fairly certain that's a first..

[jacksonkellyfreak]

They just look better with a pointy or Gibson-type/banana headstock.

[straycat]

I think the star body looks great with those too T.J.

For some reason, I always thought the Star looked a little strange with a Strat headstock.

+1 on the star strathead looking funny. with a pointy it's awesome.

Just got home from Nashville and got to see the neck. A little used, but nice. Some flame in there too. Link to the auction because I'm tired of driving and don't feel like taking pics.

I bought a pro-mod neck on ebay, and a black Jackson replacement decal.

Not exactly sure what direction I want to go with this.

I like DeMartini crossed swords, Lynch Bengal, maybe the Adrian Smith Jackson in the video Wasted Years.

And while in a store yesterday I saw one of the MIC Charvel single hum Star in white. But a strathead looks funny on a Star The ideas seem endless.

Suggestions?

I guess I should have planned this out better, but the neck was $190 and looks flamed so I jumped on it, and then I saw the decal and thought I should get it just in case.

Just to point it out but in the Wasted Years video Adrian is using a black Charvel San Dimas Strat , not his Jackson. Go with the Adrian Smith Jackson.It looks amazing.

He gets a similar tone on Stranger in a Strange Land's solo. Might be my fav frm him.

I love that solo. Idk how he gets that tone to be so pronounced man. Love it

If we keep up with the AS love we're going to have to get a room, but yeah....the studio version especially. Sounds like a block of ice.....just this cold, huge tone. They were using synth modules at the time so who knows what went into that tone specifically.
