Even though this is an old post, I've only just come across it when googling the Dave Murray Strat.
Firstly, it's a shame that the new model wasn't fitted with a Floyd Rose like all his own customised Strats.

Secondly, the first post on this thread is totally inaccurate.
I have been a Maiden fan for 30 years now and have followed the careers of the band, especially the guitarists. At no time has Dave Murray played a Tele; at no time has Adrian Smith played a Firebird; at no time has Janick Gers played a Les Paul.
1. Dave Murray only plays Strats that Fender have built/customised for him.
2. Adrian Smith now plays a signature Jackson , but does also play Strats, a Les Paul and an SG on some songs.
3. Janick Gers only plays strats with modified pickups.

If you are such a fan of the band, or of any of the guitarists, you should surely know what equipment the guys use!!

Cheers from the UK

I am not a huge Maiden fan, but they are a pure joy to see live. The beauty of these guys is that they are soooo musical ... very epic songwriting and serious music chops. I have a few of their albums on my iPod but - admittedly - do not listen to them much. However, I see them live every chance I get, which (unfortunately) is not too often. I bet there are alot of people in this forum that would enjoy them live more than they think they would. Like you said, BigJay, it is "about the music" and Maiden delivers it in spades ...

Laughing out loud with fear and hope, I have a desperate plan ...

I have been an Iron Maiden fan since 1985. I have all their albums...some are better than other of course. Dave is a great guitarist and I would love to spend some time with Maiden to learn; however, I do not believe he is the "greatest guitarist" in the world. There are just too many out there alive and dead that still out rock him. Still, I do have to admit that I would be a little geeked out if I did meet him in person.

Iron Maiden has been around the block a few times. I think Steve Harris is the most tailented one in the Band.

you can save the world with your guitar one love song at a time it's just better, more fun, easier with a fender solid body electric guitar or electric bass guitar.

I first saw them in 1979 when Dennis Stratton was the guitarist. (who??). I have seen them many times here in the UK and they can still show the young 'uns a trick or two. All over 50 years old and still running around like teenagers. Roll on 25 May when the new double DVD is released here in the UK. (early June in the US).
Cheers!!
