    Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

    Yeah SD is also a ceramic high-output magnet, so there shouldn't be a lot of difference. Neck pickup was only ever used by Adrian on the beginning of Infinite Dreams so, there is not a lot of examples of that. Bridge pickup was switched to a white Super Distortion in the late 90s anyway.

    Unless you go for the early 00's specs. That version has a DiMarzio Super Distortion in bridge

    I'm pretty sure they were Jackson pickups. I kinda assume those were in Dave's Burgundy/CAR Jackson too and that made him switch to Duncans later on.

    If you have an AS Jackson signature, you'll need to route, as the factory route is HSS. I think he had Jackson humbuckers on the original guitar. Quite high output and they were popular in late 80's.

    Adrian, Janick and Dave's guitars and Steve's basses

    Yes there is. I don't think those old Roland systems would fit under a pickguard, plus there is that dreaded 21-pin connector that kinda needs to be on the side of the guitar. And since the whole brain of the guitar is probably on a PCB, it's impossible to do a different arrangement of the...

    IRON MAIDEN: 'Infinite Dreams - The Official Visual History' Book Due In The Fall

    Well, the thing is that the HSH Jackson retired all other guitars due to tuning stability. One thing is for sure. Adrian hated the stock Lado tremolos and Rockingers that replaced them and that's why both Lados got Floyded. Black one during the tour and the silver one afterwards. BTW, a Lado...

    IRON MAIDEN: 'Infinite Dreams - The Official Visual History' Book Due In The Fall

    I think his memory of those things is quite bad. But knowing how H functioned in the studio between Piece of Mind and SSOASS, he used one guitar on the whole album. Piece Of Mind was Melody Maker and Powerslave was the Roadstar. Or at least a vast majority of it. Shame there are no photos from...

    IRON MAIDEN: 'Infinite Dreams - The Official Visual History' Book Due In The Fall

    Lados weren't used on Powerslave. Powerslave is 100% the Roadstar. Adrian also states in the Ola video that the Lados didn't appear on a record yet. SIT and SSOASS are 100% the white Jackson. Adrian stated that he brought all guitars to the studio, but used only the HSH Jackson. The only Lado...

    IRON MAIDEN: 'Infinite Dreams - The Official Visual History' Book Due In The Fall

    There are also quite a few mistakes in the guitar department... I very much doubt Janick's Gillan strat replica is from 1992. I'd say it's 1995 ish. Also, it says that White Spirit strat is a 1963. It's not. It's a CBS era Strat, likely a 4 bolt one from 68-70. The book also states that Adrian...

    I'd say aborted during preliminary talks is a better expression.
