Number of the Beast DVD pick-up question

[iylesia]

Hi, all.
Here's a question. I was watching the classic albums DVD of Iron Maiden's making of The Number of the Beast album. I saw Adrain Smith playing a Fender strat with an H/S/S configuration. Can anybody tell me what kind of humbucker is in the bridge position? I believe it's a SD, but I don't know the type. Now, to make things clear, I'm not refering to Adrian's single coil pick-ups on his other strats (his guitar tech mentioned they were SD JB Junior's). Any info would be appreciated.
Bob

If you mean the pickups they used in 1982, than it's a Dimarzio Super Distortion! Or maybe a SD Jeff Beck.
At the DVD i didn't notice how the Humbucker looked, but if it's the same sunburst strart which appers on other pics, than i think it might be still the original Pickups. Maybe a DiMarzio Paf Pro?

The JB junior is used by both other guitar players, Janick uses JB jun. bridge and neck, Dave uses hotrails neck & middle and maybe JB jun. bridge. (Thats the setup of the I.M. Strat!)
