Pick up the Fender 50th Anniversary Dave Murray Stratocaster and you can almost hear the opening harmonies of "The Trooper" charging through the speakers—tight, melodic, and unmistakably Maiden. Built for players chasing Dave’s fearless blend of galloping rhythms and soaring lead work, this signature Strat pairs an alder body with a trio of hand-selected Seymour Duncan pickups, capable of everything from blistering articulate runs to pristine clean passages. A Floyd Rose Original tremolo invites bold, expressive dive-bombs and vibrato, while the compound-radius fingerboard makes moving from chunky riffs to upper-fret heroics as smooth as iron on steel. Finished with classic Strat styling and designed for players who want power and finesse in equal measure, this instrument captures the tone that helped shape a half-century of heavy metal history.
Seymour Duncan Pickups Deliver Legendary Tone
The 50th Anniversary Dave Murray Stratocaster is equipped with a versatile HSH Seymour Duncan configuration tailored to the sound of Iron Maiden’s twin-lead legacy. A JB TB-4 humbucker fuels high-gain attack with tight lows and sizzling mids, while the Antiquity Texas Hot single-coil adds crystalline sparkle for harmonized lines and clean interludes. At the neck, the ’59 SH-1N creates warm, rounded lead tones perfect for vocal, singing bends. Together, these pickups deliver a wide tonal range—built for chugging rhythms, harmonized leads, and arena-sized solos.
Floyd Rose Tremolo Ensures Precision and Stability
The Floyd Rose Original double-locking tremolo brings trusted performance to this Fender signature model, keeping tuning rock solid during the most aggressive vibrato, flutter, or dive-bomb techniques. The locking nut and bridge clamps hold pitch with reliable consistency, letting guitarists pull off expressive whammy work without the fear of tuning drift. Whether live, in the studio, or jamming at home, the system provides confidence for players who push the tremolo as hard as the music demands.
Compound-Radius Fingerboard Supports Fast, Fluid Play
The Dave Murray Stratocaster features a smooth maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard that transitions from a comfortable curve near the nut to a flatter surface up high. This 9.5"–14" compound radius profile makes rhythm chording easy in the lower register, then opens up for effortless bends and technical soloing further up the neck. Medium jumbo frets enhance precision and comfort, supporting everything from tight gallops to singing melodic work.
Durable Build With Classic Strat Character
The alder body provides balanced tone with clear articulation, while the gloss polyester finish adds protection suited for touring and frequent use. Vintage-style tuners, white dot inlays, and chrome hardware bring familiar Stratocaster aesthetics to a modern heavy-metal tool. Every component is chosen for reliability, giving players a stage-ready instrument built for consistent performance under pressure.
A Stratocaster Honoring 50 Years of Heavy Metal Legacy
The Fender 50th Anniversary Dave Murray Stratocaster celebrates five decades of Iron Maiden by delivering the tone, feel, and fire behind Dave’s unmistakable style. From its Seymour Duncan pickup trio to its rock-solid Floyd Rose system and performance-driven neck, this guitar equips players to tackle Maiden classics—or forge the next chapter of high-energy metal. Built for fans, professionals, and riff-writers alike, it’s a fitting tribute to 50 years of iconic music and an invitation to carry that legacy into the future.
