No I don't think that was ever Adrian's guitar. I think Dave used that guitar quite a bit back around the time of that vid (it's from "Holy Smoke" right?). I had a calendar from then and one of the months was him playing that guitar live, it stuck out cos it was so cool.
Didn't he endorse Jackson for a wee while back around the early 90's after trying one of Adrian's guitars or am I imagining I read that?
I did an google image search and waded through oodles and oodles of pictures and came up with the following list:
- Black Fender strat, maple neck
- Black Fender strat, rosewood board, Kahler
- Sunburst Fender strat, maple neck, 70's headstock
- White Jackson strathead, Floyd, maple board, 22 frets, H-S-H, small logo
- Metallic Burgundy Jackson strathead, floyd (pictured in this thread)
- White ESP strathead, Floyd, Rosewood board, 21 frets
- Electric Blue ESP strathead, Floyd, H-S-H
- Cream Fender (modern), pearloid pickguard, Floyd, hotrails
- Sunburst Fender (modern), Floyd, hotrails
- Dean V
I'm sure there's more, but those are the ones I found.
I'm kinda thinking about getting a second Adrian Smith and having it refinished and routed for H-S-H to do a replica of the burgundy Dave Murray. Or having one of the ESPs made.
ok i'm ordering a strat body now from warmoth and having Daneen paint it metallic burgundy. what body material do you think that is? Poplar? Alder? something else?
that just got my GAS going into over drive.
In the future though I need to remember to not buy guitars while on Nyquil
is it HSH i can't tell from the pic, and any idea what pickups would be in it? (Yes I'm going fanboy, deal with it
Yes it's HSH. Pickups could be custom wound Jacksons or Duncans. I read that somewhere long time ago. Maybe it was Guitar Player magazine around -89 or -90.
You'd probably be best served by Alder with a Dimarzio Super Distortion and PAF and a "whatever" single coil. My Dave Murray has these and really gets you right into his tonal range.
Dual Super Distortions is also a possibility, but watching the vids, I'm pretty sure it was a PAF in the neck, not a Super Distortion.
