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

[Mandume]

In this interview, Adrian said (14:35) that he's getting a new Lado guitar made and it's a real beauty (''it's a real metal machine''). Looking forward to it, especially the color (maybe blue like 1988?). I assume for the Maiden tour. He said he rediscovered them.

His favorite guitars: Les Paul Goldtop (he don't bring it on the road anymore), his Jacksons (the new 50th anniv one too).

I guess Joe came out of retirement just for him then!

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

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

I tried to buy one from him when he announced his retirement.

Sadly it was just too much for my wallet.

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.

I’ve always wanted a Lado but I’m left handed, and my economical resources are not enough either, but knowing that Joe is retired, is it possible to get a lefty Earth on second-hand market or so?
