    2012 New Product Brochure Adrian Smith Iron Maiden Iron Maiden is one of the most successful and influential metal bands ever, thanks in no small measure to the molten yet melodic guitar work of Adrian Smith. With timeless songwriting and thrilling live performances, Maiden continues to record and tour, charting all over the world and selling out stadiums in any country with electricity. The new Adrian Smith Signature SDX model boasts iron-clad Jackson style, tone and playability, with premium features including a basswood body, sleek bolt-on maple neck, compound-radius (12”-16”) fingerboard in either rosewood or maple with 22 jumbo frets and dot inlays, high-output Jackson humbucking bridge pickup and noiseless single-coil middle and neck pickups, white pickguard (rosewood finger- board model) or black pickguard (maple fingerboard model), Floyd Rose® Special tremolo, black hardware and Snow White finish. Snow White, Maple Fingerboard X Series Adrian Smith SDX 2913052576 Snow White, Maple Fingerboard 2913051576 Snow White, Rosewood Fingerboard 2 Artist Signature Snow White, Rosewood Fingerboard Floyd Rose® Bolt-On Neck Special Bridge Photo by John McMurtrie Artist Signature 3 Phil Demmel Machine Head In the world of brutal, no-holds-barred metal, Machine Head is more than a band; it’s an institution. Lead guitarist Phil Demmel, a Jackson friend and endorser since the late 1980s, joined in 2003 and first appeared on critically acclaimed 2007 release The Blackening, which took the metal world by storm, won numerous awards and reader polls, and earned Machine Head its first-ever Grammy nomination. Demmel demands a great deal from his Jackson instruments, and the ferociously talented guitarist’s new PDX-2 model is a regal and deadly machine featuring a three-piece through-body maple neck, bound compound- radius (12”-16”) rosewood fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and classic sharkfin inlays, pulverizing EMG® HZ pickups with dual volume controls and three-way blade switching, and a Floyd Rose® Special bridge.
