Jackson Guitars SC1 LTD 50e Years Adrian Smith Signature Iron Maiden

50 Years of Legendary Riffs, a Jackson Built for the Stage

Designed to celebrate half a century of Iron Maiden's history, the SC1 Adrian Smith captures the DNA of the guitars that built the band's twin harmonies and sharp leads. This "50th Anniversary" edition condenses Adrian's personal choices (pickups, neck, tremolo) into a modern and reliable So-Cal platform, designed for both studio and touring.

Who Is It For and What Styles?

Ideal for intermediate to expert guitarists in heavy metal, hard rock, and shred, the SC1 also excels in classic rock and powerful pop. The Floyd Rose requires a confident hand in setup and bending but rewards with formidable tuning stability and expressive effects. The HSS configuration and 5-position selector offer true rhythmic and lead versatility.

Sound

The DiMarzio DP100 in the bridge position delivers a high output level, dense mids, and firm lows for cutting rhythms and impactful solos. The Fender Samarium Cobalt Noiseless (SCN) single coils in the middle and neck positions reproduce the smooth strat "quack" without noise, perfect for arpeggios and articulate cleans. The alder body balances brightness and warmth, the quartersawn maple fingerboard adds attack, and the bolt-on neck construction enhances responsiveness. The 12"-16" radius smooths out high-register bends, while the Floyd Rose 1000 mounted on the top ensures a return to zero after every dive. Simple controls (Volume/Tone) keep the signal direct and responsive.
