Jackson Adrian Smith San Dimas Guitar
If you are a fan of metal music at all, then you undoubtedly know about Iron maiden. They have been one of the most influential bands to hit the metal scene since they formed back in 1975. Well, in the 1980s, Adrian Smith joined the crew to play the guitar, but he needed something that was incredible which was why he chose the Jackson.
Now, years later, he has again brought his inspiration to one of metals favorite guitar makers in the form of a pair of new signature model Jackson guitars. And to say that these guitars are amazing would be an understatement! The new Jackson Adrian Smith San Dimas Guitar signatures feature a lot of the things you loved about the ones that came out in the 80s, except that they have been brought up to par with modern technology and are very well able to stand on their own as exceptional instruments for use by extreme, professional musicians.
These models feature:
- A 1 ply pick guard
- A bolt on, quarter-sawn maple neck
- An ebony fingerboard
- A scale length of 25.5 inches
- 22 jumbo frets

The design of the body of the San Dimas very much resembles the body of a strat. In fact, it is tough to tell them apart. As you Jackson has undoubtedly pulled out all of the stops on this one, arming it with some of the hottest pickups in the business so that tone and sound control will not be a problem.
