A bit from the Iron Maiden site about Adrian's signature Jackson:

"Smith’s molten, incredibly fast legato guitar work".... Ummm... no, that would be Dave Murray. Pretty shocking that they don't even know who they're endorsing.

"When Jackson sent me a prototype of my signature guitar, I liked it right away," said Adrian. "So much so, it became my number one choice onstage for the 'Somewhere Back in Time' tour. It passed the test with flying colours, performing the all-important basics like staying in tune, (having) great electronics, and providing me with a great means of expression. It's one of the loudest guitars I have"

Lol Dave Murray got the Fender sig. aswell but Janick got nothing

I want one!

That looks awesome, should be a tad bit more pointy though....

Damn, looks like a nice guitar(s). Would love one of those, or the Dave Murray sig tbh. Just... minus the sig price tag

They also can't make up their mind if it's called San Dimas or "Dan Dimas". What's a 'Dinky' guitar anyway ? Name doesnt sound very metal...

Would have been cooler if he'd got a trailer park boys quote in there and said "Passed with flying carpets" instead

Dinky is 3/4 size compared to either Strat or Soloist body size, I can't remember. Probably Strat.

If I buy this, I expect to be able to play the "Wasted Years" solo immediately....

That might be "Wasted Money" instead

Yeah definitely not wasted money especially as, now that Fender own Jackson, they get a proper Strat-shaped headstock... although for some unknown reason I'd prefer it if it had Charvel written on the headstock instead.
