Somewhere in time, every note feels right
While the 50th Anniversary Dave Murray Stratocaster bears all the hallmarks of a traditional Strat, its revved-up feature set combines the best appointments from Dave’s favorite Fender guitars. It all starts with a premium alder body, complemented by a meticulously carved C-shape maple neck with a sleek, gloss urethane finish. Furthermore, the 21-fret, compound-radius rosewood fingerboard offers lightning-fast playability guaranteed to keep your fingers flying and your solos screaming with Maiden-worthy precision. Beyond that, when the desire for extreme whammy abuse overtakes you, the 50th Anniversary Dave Murray Strat’s Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo is ready and willing to oblige, delivering subtle warbles, screaming harmonic squealies, and subterranean dive-bombs in equal measure. Many guitarists here at Sweetwater like to manhandle our whammy bars, and we need a tremolo that can keep up with us.

Three amigos for “The Trooper” tone
From “Prowler” to “Hell on Earth,” the Fender 50th Anniversary Dave Murray Stratocaster’s HSH array of scorching-hot Seymour Duncan pickups is ready to deliver galloping riffs and screaming solos that echo through metal history. In the bridge, you’ll find a JB Model — the classic hot-rodded humbucker. You know, that sound — the one we’ve all loved for the last 30 years. Conversely, the ’59 Model in the neck is a moderate-output pickup inspired by the PAF-style humbuckers of yesteryear, providing you with access to an entire arsenal of glorious vintage-flavored, alnico-fueled textures. Finally, a middle-position Antiquity Texas Hot single-coil leverages custom windings and Alnico II rod magnets to give you the most sublime Strat spank and sparkle you’ve ever heard. Complete with a standard Stratocaster control layout, the 50th Anniversary Dave Murray Stratocaster can handle the evil that men do — and a whole lot more.
Iron Maiden: 50 years of iron will

Their signature arsenal — galloping bass lines, soaring twin-guitar harmonies, and operatic vocals — has become the blueprint for generations of metal acts. Of course, at the heart of their mythology stands “Eddie,” a cultural icon whose evolution mirrors the band’s relentless creativity. With over 100 million albums sold across 17 studio releases, Iron Maiden’s global following is a testament to five decades of metallic mastery and an unwavering commitment to shaping the metal genre.
