Fender Dave Murray Stratocaster

Electric Guitar

Guitarist Dave Murray of seminal U.K. metal heroes Iron Maiden has been laying it down with a Fender since the mid '70s. Murray recently joined forces with Fender to create a signature electric guitar based on his own '57 Stratocaster, previously owned by the late, guitarist Paul Kossoff from the band Free. The body is made of alder, which gives the guitar a great boost to sound. Alder is one of the finest woods, mainly because it sounds so great and it lasts very well. It is finished in a fine coating of nitrocellulose with satin finish on back. The Dave Murray Stratocaster guitar boasts a supercharged humbucker/single-coil/humbucker configuration (the humbuckers are coloured "aged", so they look very cool and Vintage)—a DiMarzio PAF 36th Anniversary DP103 neck pickup, a DiMarzio Super Distortion DP100 bridge pickup, and a Fender vintage-style middle pickup. The guitar also has a Vintage pickup selector, a 3-way Switch and also got Fender/Gotoh Vintage tuners, which are pretty cool and keep the guitar in tune well. The Fender Dave Murray Guitar includes a lacquer finish, and a flatter, soft V-shaped neck with satin back which makes the guitar feels very smooth after using it for a few months, because the back feels a bit sticky due to glossy finish.
