Re: Iron Maiden Gear
The guitars are nothing but Fender. All three guitar players play Strats and Harry plays P-basses. The Strats are either Fat (meaning they have a hum in the bridge position and singles in the middle and neck) or else they're outfitted with single-coil sized humbuckers. To be more specific, they're outfitted with Seymour Duncan HotRails and JB Jrs. Harry's P-basses are equipped with Quarter Pound for P (high-output bass pickups).
Someone help out and give me amp info.....
EDIT: Here are some useful links: HotRails for Strat Maiden Sig. from Fender Adrian's rig Dave's rig

Re: Iron Maiden Gear
Adrian Smith and Jannik Gers are still dedicated Fender users, tho Smith sometimes he will use a Les Paul Custom. Dave Murray is now using Wayne guitars, built by Master Builder Wayne Charvel and his son, Michael. www.wayneguitars.com.

Re: Iron Maiden Gear
On the 1st Maiden video ('Women in Uniform'), Murray is playing a Strat w/ 2 nickel covered humbucking pickups ... watching "Visions of the Beast" will give you a running tab of the guitars used throughout their history.

Re: Iron Maiden Gear
My brother got me that video compilation for Christmas. Ironically, I had just dusted that one off the other day to run it whilst I was practicing... and then you go and mention it today. Maiden is still my all-time fave. Now that you've reminded me, I've got to go to "Off Topic" and rant and rave...

Re: Iron Maiden Gear
Dave Murray generally uses Strats with 3 Hot Rails, a floyd, and an aftermarket neck. The Strats seen on the past 2 or 3 tours have all been proper Fenders (Black w/maple fretboard, Classic White w/maple fretboard, sunburst w/rosewood fingerboard, All have perloid pickguards)
Adrian has 2 Fender Strats, both with 1 humbucker in the bridge and two singles. He has a DiMarzio Super Distortion, and for the 2 singles, I'm not so sure. 1 is Sunburst with a maple fingerboard and the other is classic white with a maple fretboard. He has also used a Black Gibson Les Paul Custom, and a Red Gibson SG. I am not sure what pups are in there. This is just recently, all his gear ever can be found herehttp://www.geocities.com/adr_smith/frames.html Click on 'wood and steel'
Janick uses Fender Strats, and has a JB Jr in both the neck and the bridge of his black Strat and his arctic white Strat. He has a bright white Strat which has 3 Jb Jrs in it. He has been using his black Strat for years and years. There is a mark where his wrist has worn away the finish on it over the years. All his Strats have rosewood fingerboards.
