The Jackson X Series Signature Adrian Smith SDXQ is a performance-focused S-style guitar inspired by the Iron Maiden guitarist’s hot-rodded instruments.

Finished in striking Transparent Green over a quilted maple top, it combines a San Dimas-style basswood body with a graphite-reinforced maple neck, compound-radius maple fingerboard and double-locking Floyd Rose tremolo.

This particular example has also been upgraded with a Vansen Hot Rail neck pickup, new Floyd Rose saddles, push-in tremolo arm and brass tremolo block.

Presented in Very Good Condition, this guitar weighs 9.02 lbs and is supplied without a case.

Adrian Smith Signature Design

The SDXQ is built around fast, modern playability.

Neck specifications include:

• Bolt-on maple neck

• Graphite reinforcement

• Satin neck finish

• Maple fingerboard

• 12"–16" compound radius

• 25.5" scale length

• 22 Jumbo frets

The flatter upper register makes it especially well suited to fast lead playing, wide bends and technical styles.

Modified Pickup Setup

This guitar features:

• Vansen Hot Rail neck pickup

• Jackson middle single coil

• Jackson high-output bridge humbucker

Controls include:

• 5-way blade selector

The Hot Rail upgrade gives the neck position a thicker, more powerful character than a conventional single coil.

Upgraded Floyd Rose

• Brass tremolo block

Together with the locking nut, the system is well suited to aggressive tremolo use and high-performance playing.
