Cherry axe, bro!

This one is a serious player's guitar and deserves a detailed explanation...

Here is a Dave Murray (Iron Maiden) inspired frankenstrat. It's a late 1980s Japanese Squier strat body (yep!) with a 1970s Japanese Aria Pro Deluxe maple telecaster neck (with a Fender spaghetti label transfer). It has a very rare factory custom chameleon paint color that changes in the light from metallic desert sand to burgundy mist. The Duncan made 3-ply sand/ bronze perloid plate brings it all together. I have attempted to take pictures to show this but it really has to be seen to be believed. It is an awesome looking guitar. The bridge and trem system are genuine Fender with an oversized trem block for deeper sustain. The tuners are top-shelf vintage octagonal-housing guitar tuning machines featuring a stylized "G" logo on the back cap, which are consistent with vintage Gotoh or Guild OEM machine heads from the 1970s and 1980s.

Now it gets really interesting...

Features "Single-Coil-Sized" Duncan HotRail Pickups factory mounted on a Seymour Duncan Sand/bronze guardplate with a push-pull volume control allowing separately selecting the bridge pickup along with usual 5-way, you can now add all three pickups together (Dave Murray's Wall Of Sound) or select the neck and bridge together (similar to Telecaster) giving 7 pickup configurations. Neck pickup is 15C91 Middle pickup is 15H60 Bridge pickup is 15C90.

For a really thorough Al description of all available tones, "copy and paste" this question to google:

'What's special about the Dave Murray loaded 3 Hotrails guardplate with the 7 way switching?"

This guitar is a shredder and set up perfectly with fast low action. It accepts a standard Fender strat trem arm.
