Iron Maiden’s Dave Murray has been playing hot-rodded Fender Strats his entire career and this one is just that. The Dave Murray California Series Stratocaster may look fairly traditional but it is loaded with 3 Seymour Duncan humbuckers and a Floyd Rose locking trem. The choice of single coil sized humbuckers help retain the traditional 3 single coil strat look but they are actually a Seymour Duncan® Hot Rails™ for Strat SHR-1B in the bridge, a Seymour Duncan® JB Jr.™ SJBJ-1N in the middle position and a Seymour Duncan® Hot Rails™ for Strat SHR-1N in the neck position which allow for some serious metal tones as well as sparkling cleans.
If you are interested in a modern Fender Strat with a vintage look, this might be the guitar for you.
