  • Maiden or Mick Mars Strat Ideas

    So I've decided to redo my Charvel CX391. As it is, its white w/ black H-S-H pickguard, 22 frest w/ Dot inalys, and has a Takuechi JT580 in it. So I was thinking of doing an Iron Maiden Strat. Any ideas for what pickups? I was thinking DiMarzio Super Distortion in the bridge, but I'm at a loss for what else to ptu in their. Any other ideas?

    EDIT: Another idea would be Mick Mars-style one...

    You need JB Jr's I guess.
    I wish my hair-color was EDS :/

      I could swear they were using Super Ds now... I know they used JB Jrs at one point though. Anyway, heres a break down:

      Now if I did it out Iron Maiden-style, heres what it would be:

      Bridge PU: DiMarzio Super Distortion
      Middle: DiMarzio Half Track 2
      Neck: DiMarzio Distortion

      If I went Mick Mars...

      Minor Aging added to the body (keyword minor as it alway ready has its share of dings and dents)
      Bridge: Seymour Duncan Custom 5
      Middle: Duncan 5-2 Single Coil
      Neck: Seymour Duncan '59

      Im trying to replicate their pickup setups, just get close to their tones.

        I ended up putting a single DiMarzio Tone Zone in it, and it sounds pretty sweet. I didn't "Age" the body any, as when I took the black paint off it revealed some dings and marks I had forgotten about, already giving it a kinda rough look, completed with the beat up old H-S-H pickguard that had come with it.
