Here is the Kossoff strat with what looks to be some weird aftermarket bridge saddles in early 80's.

The Kossoff strat never had a Kahler, but it did have a Rockinger system installed for the first part of the World Slavery Tour. It was removed before the tour ended. The headstock still shows the holes drilled for the locking nut. I believe the book is wrong on this.

Here is the spread on Davey’s pre-CBS strats. At least we have confirmation the Kossoff strat has a 63’ body. Most of the text and quotes is lifted directly from previous interviews.

Adrian let Bruce play it while he had those spiked leather bands on his forearms? Instant relic job I guess!

Based on the excerpts they have released, we know for certain that they won’t be doing anything on his ESP guitars.

There was also at least this one from the early days.

Here are the pics:

A 57’ strat would have come from the factory with a single ply white pickguard - the mint green 3-ply version didn’t come along until 59’. I think there was some discussion about the Kossoff strat being a partscaster with a 60’s body and 50’s neck.

I would personally like to see it with a plain white pickguard and double cream humbuckers. I assume he is stuck using Seymour Duncan products though, which rules out the double creams due to Dimarzio's stupid copyright.

That is hideous looking. The Zebra pickups are too busy here and at a minimum their cream should match the white of the middle position JB Jr pickup. Thank god it was temporary!

TFPT = The Future Past Tour

And a pair of Lado Earth models as well. Where is this screenshot from?

Further, the one Adrian is holding is a two tone sunburst, the Reverb listed Dave one is a three tone sunburst (red between the black and yellow fade).

This photo appeared in Ross Halfin's "What are we doing this for" book, with a caption that it was taken in Dallas Texas in March of 1987.

It is an ESP. This photo session is the only time it ever surfaced to my knowledge.

At the Smith/Kotzen acoustic show this week, Adrian had two guitars- his Gibson Hummingbird and this Taylor, which I think is a 914CE.

I've always thought that Dave Murray's wife looks way too much like him.

I saw them on the US leg of the tour which was several months after the video in Stockholm was recorded. I can't recall which songs he used it on.

No, he used the sonic blue ESP strathead. I was there for several shows on the tour, and it was not his old electric blue 22 fret lawsuit headstock ESP artist series (sold as the SE-190DM by ESP).

The sonic blue ESP strathead was also used in the ensuing No Prayer on the Road tour.
