I'm a huge Iron Maiden fan and I've wanted to own a black Fender Stratocaster with Duncan JB Jr. pickups like the one played by Janick Gers for pretty much as long as I've been into Maiden. As Fender doesn't make a production model, I set about obtaining the various parts and assembling them to my specifications. This video documents the building process.
If guitar tech talk isn't your cup of tea, you can skip to a demo of the guitar at 10:02, featuring a playthrough of 'Sign of the Cross'.
DISCLAIMER: This video doesn't aim to be a precise step-by-step guide, but if you're after some tips on building your own Janick Strat, please do add a comment and I'll respond as soon as possible.
