@matic22 since you are the authority in this topic, I would like to ask you a question, what do you think that will happen regarding Adrian’s guitars as for 2026 RFYL? I have three possible scenarios (taking also into account that he could use the new 50th anniversary Jackson live, but also...

Thanks for the replies!

A question, when did Dave acquire the ‘64 and what electronics did it have before the HSH route? Also, when did it get Kahlered?

plus.... Adrian Smith has taste on watches!! In this photo he's apparently wearing a nice Rolex!! edit: likely this one

Hey, nice thread! I didn't know this one existed... anyway, I wear watches every day and my biggest passions are: Maiden, guitars and watches, so I would like to resurrect this thread with my two best watches! :)

That’s right mate. And I hope the main Lado is the black one, since the Silverburst one stole a lot of protagonism to it.

Yeah, that’s quite likely, I’d say that he will use the DT300 in drop D tuning for RTTH, TNOTB and IM (and even probably FOTD) and use the D Jackson for Clairvoyant. Also, it’s quite logical that one Lado will be the main standard tuned guitar, as happened with the Silverburst Lado in the middle...

For 2026 it could happen that the new 50th anniversary Jackson becomes the main guitar (as Adrian switches main guitars every 10 years or so) and if he retires the drop-D prototypes, the green Jackson could become the new drop-D guitar along with the DT300 and even probably one of the Lados.

Yeah that’s right, the white Jackson should be dinged up but still at Maiden’s warehouse.

By the way, the white Jackson had a Kahler Steeler as well? Or did it have a standard Floyd? About the pickups, I’d assume the white Jackson had at first PAF/SD or so and during FOTD tour the neck pickup was replaced with a black DiMarzio PAF Pro, my assumption about that comes from the fact...

Oh ok, I didn’t know that, anyway, thank you for the info mate.

Cool pics mate, thank you, I love this guitar.

I think that the neck humbucker on the white Jackson wasn’t replaced with a black Seymour Duncan during FOTD, it was in fact a black DiMarzio PAF Pro, in the photos it looks like it. Also, I didn’t know that the CAR Jackson had a Kahler Steeler, unless the document is wrong, I’ve always thought...

Thanks for the info! So NPFTD and FOTD were recorded with the CAR Jackson? Same question with TXF and VXI.

AFAIK Dave’s white Jackson had DiMarzio pickups (black PAF Pro in neck and white SD in bridge) the other guitars (CAR Jackson, 3-tone sunburst Strat and Blue Sunburst Strat) had Duncans by the time P.S: Anyone knows what are the pickups on the red Strat from the BQOBD and From Here to Eternity...
