The Birthday Strat's HSH configuration is a mystery, however, it's safe to assume that the pickups were the same as in the black Jason Smith Custom shop one. The black Jason Smith one went from JB - a SD single coil, possibly one of the SSL's - Jazz (Alice Cooper's new year Maui), zebras to...

The green ones are in Europe in the Maiden rig. He used to fly with the 2016 prototype, but it seems like this time he is carrying the 50th anniversary Jackson with him. They will likely be used on tour.

Kinda a pointless rig rundown, since he'll be using a different set of guitars in Europe (those are his LA guitars). What is kinda interesting is that the LP is tuned to drop-C and he says it is for the song "Running", which kinda makes sense as he was using the backup green sunburst Jackson for...

It's a normal GCB-95 in custom housing. Was confirmed at NAMM. Apparently "what they play and what they wanted". I assume "they" is likely Adrian, who plays a normal GCB-95 in his smaller rigs like with Smith-Kotzen.

Shipping of the gear also takes time, so the break makes sense. Maiden don't have complete A and B rigs like other acts.

Was not specified. Also, the last time LP Custom saw the stage was 2017.

Lados were always expensive. IIRC, they were in the 3k-4k range in the 80's which was an incredible sum of money back then.

Apparently, it's gonna be the signature Jacksons and the LP Custom for Adrian on the Smith/Kotzen tour.

AFAIK, Joe still makes a few custom guitars per year. Just a very limited number.

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the Rock In Rio 2001 concert.

Well, it looks like a normal GCB 95, with a custom casing.

Also, I forgot to say, I run a ping-pong stereo delay in my Kemper with that time.

Well, my experience is that you can get away with most of the things if you set repeats to roughly 380-390ms. I'm kinda lazy and play with the delay set to that time with 3-4 repeats and it works well.

But the Italy show stands out. Most stadiums, floor standing is between 90 and 120 euros. Italy, it's almost 200.

Yes, Padova... It didn't look packed to me. Anyways, the prices of concerts in Italy are a joke. That's why, despite living nearby, I rather go to other nearby concerts.

Of course San Siro doesn't sell well as the tickets are overpriced as hell. The Bologna date last year suffered from the same problem and also wasn't sold out.

Thanks. Pictures 2 and 3 are helpful, but finding a good quality photo or video of Ricky's 2 Hamers for comparison is impossible. Also it seems like Ricky played Hamers just for a short while. Before he played an Ibanez Destroyer I (Lawsuit era, EVH version) and shortly afterwards bought the...

A theory: I have a theory that the Hamer Standard was sold to Ricky Medlocke of Blackfoot. Blackfoot opened a lot for Maiden, they even played Tush with Ricky on slide sometimes as an encore during Beast on the Road. And Ricky played a Hamer Standard in 1982 that looked very similar to Adrian's...

Yes. It's one of the earliest variants of R9 Les Paul. Mark Knopfler's Money For Nothing/Brothers In Arms guitar is it's sister guitar.
