Re: Dave Murray/Iron Maiden
Anything is possible. But I think its going to be hard to find a definitive source. All answers are going to include some amount of conjecture. Your probably better off just figuring out what pickups he used around that time frame (which seems to have already been covered in this thread) and just go from there. I doubt you will find a source that says 100% for sure.

Is there a source for this that this is what was used on the album?

Re: Dave Murray/Iron Maiden
Thanks idsnowdog that was helping =)
Yes I know that it is a Lone Star but with other Pick Ups.
So if it was build a S/S/S I thinke it could be: Fastrack 2( bridge), vintage Style or HS-2 (middle) and a HS-2 (neck). but I don't think it is a S/S/S
In this pic its for sure a H/S/S: http://www.google.ch/imgres?imgurl=...t:429,r:29,s:166&tx=46&ty=66&biw=1393&bih=751
And the singles don't look like Rails or a JB so maybe: DiMarzio Super Distortion DP-100 (bridge), HS-2 or Vintage Style (middle) and a HS-2 (neck)?
For a H/S/H it could be that he used that same pick-up which he has on his Signature. But I think the Humbucker are in a Zebra-Colour.
That could be a solution =)

Re: Dave Murray/Iron Maiden
Here's a screen shot of the one you first asked about in the original post. During the solo, the light reflects off both bobbins, so there's no doubt that one is an HSH with a Floyd. But the zebra colors make it look more like a traditional strat with three singles.
You can see the black bobbin on the neck pickup in the solo part.
That's not even the same guitar that you referred to in the first video in the original post. That one has a standard strat trem, the strat in the first video has a Floyd. He's used a lot of different variations so I think you have to nail down which one you're looking for.

Re: Dave Murray/Iron Maiden
The Carrot is correct. Out of pure weird coincidence I happened to get the Raising Hell DVD in the mail tonight from Netflix. The guitar Dave is playing on Number of the Beast and a bunch of other songs is absolutely HSH with a floyd. I'd venture to say he's got Super D/PAF in there, as a few times the light shines on the guitar the right way and its visible that the pickups are more matte-looking than the shiny pickguard. Suggesting Dimarzio.

Yes I can see it too I didn't see at the first time because of the zebra colour. but I the pic I posted it's absolutely H/S/S. You cans see it also in this pic and it seems to be an older one and want to know which single coils he used.

Re: Dave Murray/Iron Maiden
No idea.
Not that the video quality was good enough to tell the difference, but even if its the same guitar, the pickups being different in the pic means it might not sound as you like in the video, unless of course you were just using the video to point out the guitar and not actually chasing that sound.

Re: Dave Murray/Iron Maiden

Re: Dave Murray/Iron Maiden
Hmm ok then...
then i'm going to pimp my guitar with two humbuckers and ONE single coil. DiMarzio:Super Distortion, Paf 36th and Visual Vintage but if I'm going to meet him this summer I'm going to torturing till he told me which single coils he used =)

Re: Dave Murray/Iron Maiden
He might not even know.
36th is a great pickup, but don't overlook the Air Classic, which is actually closer to what the old Dimarzio PAF model was that he was known to use. I find the Air Classic to be a little better match in the neck.

Hmm I don't know the Air Classic. I play sometimes with the Signature Model and the PAF is just a ****ing awesome pick up. I've never played with a Air Classic.

Actually his guitar tech would have a better chance of knowing if he remembers from that long ago

The Air Classic is pretty much what the PAF was before they tweaked it and renamed it the 36th. It has slightly less mids than the 36th, so its more articulate in the neck.
