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

Very nice to finally see Janick's rig, for the last tour was only Adrian. Dave still carry the cream Strat, but is now a deep backup (like the birthday Strat). It wasn't even presented. I wonder if he, besides Adrian ofc, can bring something different/new for next year or in the future.

FOTD's intro is just pure gold.

Yeah, I hope Dave brings something special next year!

P.S: Are any of Dave’s old guitars still on working condition? (‘57 and ‘64 strats, the ESP’s, the Jacksons, etc) I would like to see Davey bring his old axes, as Adrian did.

In the video with Colin, he says the Kossoff is "too fragile" to bring out.
 
As I said before, the 64 almost came back to service in 2013.

However, it seems like Dave prefers really small necks this days. Cali Series Strat is an anomaly in that regard, since it has incredibly small neck according to Colin. Hicks Strat has a direct copy of that neck on it.

Dave also said in an IMFC interview that the Cali Series Strat is his desert island guitar.

I'd imagine for 64 to come back, it would need to be refretted, neck re-radiused and get 2 JB's since Dave prefers that.

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 make strats anymore, I doubt that he'll take those guitars out on tour again, since they can't really be replaced if something were to happen.
 
He's practical rather than sentimental, the Strat is a great guitar in itself, has a sick design and is highly customisable (much more than the Gibsons).

Also he's used to the body and neck. He's played Strats on a practically exclusive basis since when he bought the Kossoff.

Unrelated, but I wonder if he ever tried a Tele.

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

So the one from the left is the FR classic Strat from 1999, it had hot rails on a tortoiseshell pickguard originally, then it got the pickguard from the photo during Maiden England Tour rehearsals and then it went back again to hot rails and tortoiseshell pickguard, middle one is the ‘64 Stratocaster (the Kahler one from LAD) with its Floyd Rose trem, and the right one is a Fender Dave Murray Stratocaster prototype which Dave got in 2009
