Description
As Iron Maiden celebrate their landmark 50th Anniversary, they stand as one of heavy metal’s most influential and enduring forces since forming in East London in 1975. Seen as pioneering the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, the band reached new heights with their unmistakable sound and theatrical performances. Their signature style features galloping bass lines, multi-guitar harmonies and operatic vocals, while their omnipotent figurehead “Eddie” has evolved to become one of metal’s most enduring cultural icons. Selling over 100 million records across 17 studio albums, Iron Maiden has built a devoted global following – a testament to their five-decade legacy of shaping metal’s evolution.
Dave Murray’s iconic Stratocasters have part-shaped the band’s distinctive multi-guitar attack for decades. Combining the best features of Dave’s favourite Fender guitars – three Seymour Duncan® pickups, compound-radius fingerboard and a Floyd Rose R2 double-locking tremolo – the 50th Anniversary Iron Maiden Dave Murray Stratocaster delivers legendary tone, superb feel and an iconic look that has been centre stage throughout the band’s historic career.
Seymour Duncan Pickups
High-output, fat metal tone manifests itself in three highly responsive Seymour Duncan® pickups. A ’59 Model™ humbucker pickup in the neck, Antiquity™ Texas Hot single-coil pickup in the middle, balanced perfectly by a vintage-voiced Seymour Duncan® JB Trembucker™ pickup in the bridge position. This versatile combination delivers both vintage warmth and modern aggression, allowing players to explore endless tonal territories with precision and clarity.
Compound Radius Fingerboard
Built for speed, comfort and facility, the 9.5”-14” compound-radius fingerboard is rounded near the nut, becoming increasingly flatter as it nears the upper register for easy and accurate bending.
Floyd Rose
The Dave Murray 50th Anniversary Signature Stratocaster® always retains top-notch tuning stability throughout the most staggering displays of shredding, thanks to the Floyd Rose® double-locking tremolo system.
Dave Murray Inspired Design
The Dave Murray 50th Anniversary Iron Maiden Stratocaster® combines the legendary guitarist’s favourite elements from his Fender Strat® models over the decades, featuring Seymour Duncan® pickups, Floyd Rose® double locking-tremolo and compound radius fingerboard that have helped define Dave’s unmistakable impact since 1980 – a fitting tribute to both Murray’s enduring legacy and the band’s half-century of heavy metal domination.
