Adrian Smith SDX signature guitar ordered!

Btw, did you get the one with the black scratchplate?

 

[The Flash]

I'm back. It went alright, though the exam was the hardest one in years. It all comes down to how lucky I am now.

When do you find out how you got on?

I think the humbucker is meant to be okay, it really is the single coils that are under scrutiny here. You can't really substitute DiMarzio & Fender pick-ups (that were on the USA model) for Jackson pickups & expect them to sound better. But, for the price, it's meant to be a great guitar. To be fair, Saap, you're tone sounds pretty smart already anyway!

I don't know, the more expensive Adrian Smith guitar (San Dimas) has Super Distortion instead of a Jackson stock pick-up. Besides, Super Distortion has been the Maiden sound for decades, I'm pretty positive about the improvement in this exchange of pick-ups.
My tone is as good as it is because I have a very fine record-at-home amp with lots of variability and modulation. Also, I've set most of my settings to match the sound of Dave Murray, with some nuances of my own.
I got the black scratchplate one, luckily. I like that one better, and for a long time only the white version was sold on Amazon. I used the opportunity and got the black one ordered while it was there.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts on it, once you've got it & had a play etc.

I know!

It's definitely the best looking. Plus it looks like the SiT-era Jackson original that Adrian used back in the day. Lovely looking guitar.

April Fool's Day. Yeah, seriously.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Dead.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Totally dead.

Who knew there were so many?

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

I thought this one was really funny...

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Seven in a row...

Seven in a row...

See what I did there?

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

See what I did there?

And there...

Only nautical talk here this evening.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Cried, would you be able to cry a river and then sail a boat on it?

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Oh, thank God; I was boring myself there.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Cried, would you be able to cry a river and then sail a boat on it?

Possibly.

Without your timely intervention I was close to moving on to photos of Adrian & fish, again.
