Dave Murray signature Stratocaster at NAMM 09

[MartinBarre]

best line on that article....What about the Janick Gers model, we hear you ask. Um, we’ll get back to you on that one…

Ha ha, exactly! Like anyone cares.

I like that Dave sig strat - at least it looks like his classic strats, instead of just looking like a bog standard strat, even down to having single coil sized pups.

I'm happy for Adrian and now to hear the good news for Dave I'm happy for him as well.
It's about damn time some of the deserving players have their name on a guitar aint it?!

Wish I was right handed.....fuckin story of my life.

Care to guess why the Harris bass is that colour?

Because that's what colour they painted it? :idea:

[metalchurch79]

I'm gonna be the Left Handed Ed Roman and start building copies of all the awesome guitars out there to supply the Lefty Brethren....
...long as no one snitches on me....

IIRC- Because Steve Harris is a West Ham United fan...

so when is the adrian smith model going to be ready?

[Confuse-a-Cat]

I've wanted to see Fender release a Dave Murray strat for a while. I am both pleased and annoyed. Pleased because it's an iconic guitar, I'd love to have one and he deserves a signature gutiar far more than a lot of people that get them. Annoyed because I'm still a student and can't afford to buy one the moment it comes out...

Dave Murray is a legend. He deserves nothing less than a USA custom shop signature. He is on par or even exceeds the level of many custom shop artists. Producing his signature guitar in japan or Mexico is a disgrace.

[Grandturk]

I don't know - it don't get my cojones tensing up as much as the adrian smith model, and I think I like Dave's original strat more than Adrian's Jacksons.

[Davey]

not many people could afford an USA custom shop model though.. so i think japan made is a fair compromise. affordable quality is what they should go for. and i would sure like one

[Joe_Steeler]

Let's just hope the DM Strat body will made out of alder and not basswood.

[rattojack]

I hope that neither the Jackson nor the Fender are going to be custom shop guitars. They don't need to be custom shop! For what? They're just modified Strats. There's no custom graphics or fancy wood involved here! I don't want to have to pay up the ass for a custom shop decal on the back of the headstock. There's no reason that Jackson and Fender can't offer these at reasonable prices with American quality - especially in this economy.

Actually, it looks like it's MIA as part of the artist line that includes, EJ, EC, and YJM.
Should come in at $1400 - $1600 if so.

I like it better than the Jackson.
