In celebration of the landmark 50th Anniversary of very longtime HardRadio friends IRON MAIDEN - Fender Musical Instruments Corporation announces new releases from the Fender Custom Shop, Fender and Jackson series of instruments set to honor the iconic band's influential and enduring legacy. "Honoring Iron Maiden's fifty years of pushing heavy metal forward, this collection brings together the signature instruments that helped define their unmistakable sound," said Max Gutnik, Fender's Chief Product Officer. "From Dave Murray's high-performance Stratocaster models and Janick Gers' energetic, vintage-leaning Strat to Steve Harris' unmistakable Precision Bass and Adrian Smith's versatile Jackson SC1, each instrument carries the tone, feel, and power behind Maiden's multi-guitar attack. These anniversary models are more than tributes; they are stage-ready tools built to inspire today's players and the next generation."
