Iron Maiden is one of the most successful and influential metal bands ever, thanks to the molten yet melodic guitar work of Adrian Smith. With timeless songwriting and thrilling live performances, Maiden continues to record, tour internationally and rock stadiums everywhere with electricity. Jackson honors Smith's metal prowess with the X Series Signature Adrian Smith SDXQ, featuring a basswood San Dimas body with elegant quilt maple top, two-piece bolt-on maple neck with graphite reinforcement and a 12-16 Inch compound radius maple fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets, black dot inlays and licensed Fender Strat headstock.

The SDXQ also offers an HSS pickup configuration and is powered by a Jackson high-output humbucking bridge pickup, Jackson single-coil middle pickup and single-coil neck pickup with five-way blade switching and master volume and tone controls. A non-recessed Floyd Rose Special double-locking 2-point tremolo bridge will withstand all the abuse you throw at it, providing rock-solid stability and stable tuning. Available in a Transparent Green finish with a black pickguard and black hardware, this beauty looks as sharp as it sounds.

Compound-Radius Fingerboards
It features compound-radius fingerboards. Jackson pioneered the use of this innovative design, in which the fingerboard gradually flattens toward the heel from its more rounded profile at the nut. This makes for comfortable and natural-feeling chording and riffing near the nut, with optimal shred articulation and bending nearer the heel.
