[toejam]

That's because it is a Jackson. How did you miss these two other pics in this thread already? :ROTF:

looks like it says Jackson

Is Adrian quite small? That guitar looks quite large on him.

Go the Jackson website and click on the Bloodline PDF catalog. It has the new Adrian Smith signature in it. As soon it comes out, I am buying it! I am the biggest Maiden fan! I have been trying to convert my Strat to resemble Dave Murray's, but have wimped out when it comes to adding a Floyd Rose. Just can't make myself hack up a nice older American Strat. Fender needs an American Strat with a Floyd!

Until Fender makes a Dave Murray Strat, I guess the next best thing is a Jackson Adrian Smith model! Any guess to the type of pickups it has or where it will be made? Any guess to a street price?

The Jackson Adrian Smith model is really something to look forward to. There is no substitute for experience and tradition and from looking at pictures of this guitar I am sure it will be a major success. Hopefully the price and availability will match the quality and popularity. Hands down, Iron Maiden is by far the best band in the world.

From what dealers have been saying, the list price is well over $2000... sure it will street for less, but when its all said and done, its just a strat with a floyd, no?

Well yeah, but that logic can apply to lots of things if you choose it to. It's 'just' another strat / Les Paul / King V etc....

And a bolt on too.

Dave's strat started off with a vintage trem but by 7th sun tour or before had a floyd on it.

i'd want to see the floyded version.

I believe that was Dave's Black '57 strat that he bought in the mid 70's if I'm not mistaken?
Here's some info on one of them atleast:

I always liked that guitar as well.
Up the Irons!

If you look back at the Seventh Tour pics, one of Davey's black strats was still a vtrem, the other had a Kahler....

Dave also had an ESP endorsement on the 7th tour and had a few custom Strats made by them, with Floyds.

He had some ESPs on the Somewhere in Time tour as well....

Sweet Jesus, I hope they make lefties of the Adrian sig!
