Yeah, looks very much like 2 different SG's indeed, I too noticed the different woodgrain on both of 'em. Regarding the pups, do you have some info on how they might have been Jackson's in-house pickups (like, have you talked to some of the builders or perhaps H's or Dave's guitar techs at the...

I love it too, gotta make a replica of that one, one of these days haha. When I was googling pics of the CAR Jackson, I came across all these cool pics (Pinterest), so I thought I'd share 'em, it is a Guitar thread after all so I thought; "what the hell"..

Dave's white Jackson. Note the input jack on the side (like Adrians current Jackson Signature), the smaller Jackson logo on the headstock and the enlarged cavity for the Floyd Rose (allowing one to pull up, as well as push down on it). This is the only guitar I've seen Dave play that has that...

In this excellent photo, we can observe that the pickups have no adjustable pole pieces whatsoever, so as Matic mentioned, they could be Jacksons in-house pickups, or perhaps some other brand.

I might have been wrong about Dave's CAR Jackson regarding the pickups. I've googled around a bit, and I've yet to find one showing pickups with SD logo's on them, I must have been thinking about another guitar. During my 15-20 minutes of "research" though, I found out that Seymour Duncan didn't...

It's cool that they're doing a new set of signature models, and congrats to Janick for getting one, it's well deserved. Like others mentioned, it's a shame that you basically pay a premium for the signature at the back of the headstock, as it's pretty much identical to the Vintera series in...

No. I have/had a picture of Dave's CAR Jackson and the SD Logo(s) were pretty clear. It'll take me ages to dig that photo up again though, as it's on my old desktop which is currently in another country than where I'm at right now though, lol.

It wouldn't have been a replica if they had made it different from the configuration it was for most of the time, which is what it was advertised as. People buy reissue strats all the time and they have the same bridge, so it's not really a problem, unless you prefer to set the trem floating...

I think he might have used one on DOD or perhaps AMOLAD, but my memories might betray me there.

One should never say never, but Davey doesn't seem to be the sentimental type, as far as touring is concerned when it comes to the axes he picks for the tour(s). The cali has been in the rig since the early 00s, the cream FR Classic even longer than that. Given that ESP & Jackson don't really...

One of these maybe?

I've never seen a non-locking Kahler bridge that looks exactly like a Standard Fender 6 point Vintage Tremolo, I seriously doubt they ever produced one. Also, the standard tremolo arm from a Kahler 2300 series tremolo fits into a regular strat's tremolo without modifications (I have one in my...

Good find and you're absolutely correct in your assertion. Adrians two Lado Earth guitars also had that bridge mounted when he first got them (he also modified them to accept Floyds, as we have just seen).

These are the two I've seen him with. I think the second one is the same one as the one @Kalata posted in his post.

Here's a better version of the image @sea.of.madness.1986 posted. According to it, the Ibanez is completely stock (although I think the specs for the Destroyer II is Mahogany body with a maple cap rather than Alder), and he apparently used the Les Paul a lot on the Powerslave record. Edit...

I don't even think it's in the solo, I have some boots from that tour and if it's there, it's extremely subtle (unlike on the album). Either way, the Lazer is a cool guitar, wouldn't mind having one for myself!:cool:

Which he hardly ever used (the synth that is).

So this is from 1980-1981, probably 1981. It looks like a PAF in the neck position (the picture is not detailed enough to look directily at the pole pieces, but they seem to reflect light a little bit differently, so I'm going to take a guess here and say that it's a PAF and not a Super...

It's the original one. the wear n tear matches up. AFAIK he only had that ONE guitar (or at least, that one Destroyer II) from the endorsement deal they got with Ibanez after touring Japan in 1981.

Look at the post I was quoting. I know he got several guitars as part of his endorsement deal. What I was asking was whether or not it might be the same as the one Adrian was wearing in the picture posted a bit earlier.
