    Adrian's certainly a modest man of few words and very likeable. A mate of mine once worked in a guitar shop and popped into the papershop on the high street, only to find Smithy in there browsing the newspapers with his kid in a stroller. He invited him back to the shop for a cup of tea and a fiddle on the guitars. Said he was a very nice bloke. Adrian is without doubt my favourite all time guitarist. Those solos on Wicker Man, Children of the Damned, Dance of Death and countless others just kick ass. His phrasing, tone and feel are just perfect.

    That Jackson is based off of a Jackson guitar that Grover Jackson made for him in 85-86. The neck (contour) is a replica of a 54 or 55 strat apparently. The original one had a neck humbucker (Dimarzio PAF) so it was a HSH config, but Adrian put a new pickguard on it, so it now looks identical to the production models (minus the wear & his signature on the headstock of course). You can see him play the original one in clips from the Somewhere on tour (86-87) & 7th Tour (1988) here on youtube. Just search for "Maiden England", and it's his main stage guitar.

    I still can't quite believe it happened , best night ever. Cheers Nico.

      Agreed 100%! I assumed that Adrian did it out of the kindness of his heart. However ,that is a rather monumental song to be stepping aside from. Their brotherhood is admirable even if Janik was the adopted child of the modern Iron Maiden lineup. Janik is certainly up there with Bruce in regards to energy on stage!

    You know what; I got the Chapman CAP10 because of Dave and Janick their Stratocasters and Adrian's San Dimas, believe it or not. - I started out with guitar-music/playing looking at these guys and the S-type was basically "thé guitar" to me. Though, I never really got one that was quite LIKE a Stratocaster for probably more than 18 years of playing, until I set my eyes on the CAP10, and now it's like my "Maiden" guitar. - I'm gonna sound like a commercial here, but it plays so well and sounds so good. It really got me closer to playing that kind of style that other guitars didn't "allow" me to. - But I will be honest that I was definitely also looking at the San Dimas as an option. And while in fact the cheaper model could've been had for less than a CAP10, it was just lacking some features I wanted, so... That's how that happened for me. :)
