Members neopl Posted June 3, 2007 Members Share Posted June 3, 2007 The guitar has been in production for a very short period of time few years ago. It pops up on ebay every now and again, but it hasn't for past few months. Anybody on here maybe has one and is willing to sell it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RockRocket Posted June 3, 2007 Members Share Posted June 3, 2007 try gbase.com amd japanese stores of used guitars, this guitar was for the japanese market only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members axegrinder Posted June 3, 2007 Members Share Posted June 3, 2007 Have you considered building one from parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr_GoodBomb Posted June 3, 2007 Members Share Posted June 3, 2007 Parts would be easy. Just a black MIM or MIA standard floyd-equipped strat, metallic mirror pickguard, two hotrails and a JB Jr. But I bet having the real deal would be more fun. I loved the one I played, and I HATE strats. try gbase.com amd japanese stores of used guitars, this guitar was for the japanese market only There was a year-long US release. Up the Irons.

Members RockRocket Posted June 3, 2007 Members Share Posted June 3, 2007 the signature does not even have the features that iron maiden guitarrists use, they usually use true humbuckers in the bridge....it would be better to build one, there is a MIA strato with floyd and bridge humbucker(discontinued but u can buy used, i think there is a MIM one in production) and then u just change the pickups..

Dave murray uses SSS set up. 3 hot rails, so when I get the maiden strat I'll jsut buy another hot rail for the bridge and there is my dave strat. I've also tried the gbase.com and found nothing.

Members magentaplacenta Posted June 3, 2007 Members Share Posted June 3, 2007 Just pick up a Standard and throw in whatever pickups you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members curseoftruth Posted June 3, 2007 Members Share Posted June 3, 2007 It's Craig's List, of course it works. Only second to eBay in terms of people selling {censored} on the Internet. People here (including myself) use it all the time. They mask the sellers identity (good thing), you contact them through the provided email from Craigslist and the seller will get back to you. You need to ask them if they will ship, how much, etc. Your posts are little lacking in terms of communication, so you might want to beef that up in your messages back and forth with the seller.

Members Rand-O-Monium Posted June 3, 2007 Members Share Posted June 3, 2007 If you get "Out Offered",I wouldn't hesitate to build one. "Kinda" the theme on this one,but just got the neck scalloped,p/ups swapped,so it's still in progress.Got an eBay guy for the Mirrored p/g,maybe after it settles in...Older pic...

Members neopl Posted June 7, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 so im getting one this Saturday, guy sent me some pix. Is this how maple neck should really look, I never had maple, and it looks like a water spill, but i guess tis just how the wood looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vermintide Posted June 7, 2007 Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 ^ Sweet!! Yes, that IS how maple looks. And that's some {censored}ing nice maple!!! Can you post soundclips when you get it? I was unaware a Maiden sig even existed, so I wanna hear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tkachuk07 Posted June 7, 2007 Members Share Posted June 7, 2007 Looks like the neck has some good flaming going on. That's typically considered better & most companies will charge more for a flamed maple neck if it's an option in selecting a custom guitar.
