Adrian Smith’s legendary guitar work with Iron Maiden has inspired generations. For players seeking to capture that iconic, powerful yet melodic sound, the Adrian Smith Jackson Guitar – specifically the USA Signature San Dimas SDM in Snow White – is the ultimate instrument. Built to the exacting specifications of one of metal’s most influential guitarists, this signature model is more than just a tribute; it’s a high-performance machine designed for serious players ready to rock stadiums worldwide.
Crafted to endure the rigors of relentless touring and demanding performances, the Adrian Smith Jackson Guitar starts with a foundation of premium tonewoods and rock-solid construction. The lightweight alder body provides a resonant and balanced tone, perfect for both rhythm and lead playing. The bolt-on quartersawn maple neck, reinforced with graphite rods, ensures unwavering stability and sustain, regardless of environmental changes on tour or in the studio. The hand-rubbed urethane finish on the neck back delivers a smooth, fast feel, allowing for effortless navigation across the 12”-16” compound radius maple fingerboard. This fingerboard, featuring 22 jumbo frets and classic black dot inlays, is designed for both comfortable chording and blistering solos. The convenient heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel allows for quick and easy neck adjustments, ensuring optimal playability at all times.
Sonically, the Adrian Smith Jackson Guitar is a powerhouse. It’s equipped with a carefully selected pickup configuration to deliver the tones Adrian Smith demands. In the bridge position, a DiMarzio Super Distortion DP100 humbucker provides that signature high-output punch. Expect thick, boosted mids, powerful lows, and searing highs – perfect for driving riffs and soaring leads that cut through the mix. For articulate cleans and nuanced tones, the middle and neck positions feature Samarium Cobalt Noiseless Single-Coil Strat pickups. These pickups deliver authentic Stratocaster snap and clarity without unwanted noise, offering incredible dynamic response and versatility for a wide range of musical styles beyond just heavy metal. A five-way blade selector switch, coupled with single volume and tone controls, unlocks a vast palette of tones, allowing you to dial in everything from aggressive metal rhythm tones to sparkling clean passages.
To ensure stage-ready performance and rock-solid tuning stability, the Adrian Smith Jackson Guitar is fitted with a Floyd Rose Original double-locking tremolo system. This legendary tremolo allows for extreme dive bombs and expressive vibrato while maintaining perfect tuning, even under the most aggressive playing conditions. Finished in a striking Snow White with a black pickguard, black hardware, and a licensed Fender Strat headstock, this Adrian Smith Jackson guitar not only sounds incredible but also looks the part. It’s a statement instrument, built for players who demand the best in performance, tone, and style. Whether you’re an Iron Maiden devotee or simply a guitarist seeking a top-tier instrument capable of delivering both power and finesse, the Adrian Smith Jackson San Dimas SDM is a guitar that will inspire you to push your playing to new heights.
