Re: Iron Maiden Gear

Re: Iron Maiden Gear

I've always wondered if Dave's strats of the last 10 years were Fender custom shop pieces... I was over looking at photos on Maidens web site and there is some Photos of Dave with a sunburst strat with a 21 fret rosewood fender neck... looks like large frets and of course the floyd rose and JB Jr's..... Then there is the newer Black and White strats he seems to of used over the used few tours that can be seen in the Rio video....

They seem to use all sorts of strats! MIM, old Squires, Americans, and maybe Custom shop strats...

Janick's 2 main strats the old Black one he got from Ian Gillan, and the White one he has had for years too as a back up have new custom Fender necks on them.. I was reading in an interview with him about his old starts that he has trouble keeping his guitar necks in good shape and ever now and then changes the necks... He had 22 fret modern style necks on them at one point..... Watching the Rio video he does have more then one Black strat with him as you can see some without the worn marks of his old one... Plus at the end you see him throw a strat high in the air and landed somewhere... i'm sure it was not his main one treating it like that.....

Either way i love Maiden and their strats!

Re: Iron Maiden Gear

AFAIK the new strats of daves are all CS pieces, or at least the necks are custom made. they are fender logoed, but you know you can get by those pretty easy.

he's also got a couple of rock legends these days and is playing them quite a lot

whofan, the strat janick throws in the air IS his main guitar

No wonder Janick has a hard time keeping his necks in good shape.....

Can I just clear up the fact that he doesn't use JB Jrs. He uses Hot Rails in the guitar you described, as well has his black one with a maple fingerboard.

I wish he'd drop everyone of the damn things off a tall building and then they'd have to kick him outta the band cos he doesn't have anything to play!:gurmpy: :laugh2:

Janick's tone is horrible, and he just can't solo like Dave and Adrian can. He brings a lot to them on the songwriting front though.
