Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt Andy Hicks Dave Murray Stratocaster - NOS Olympic White

To celebrate Iron Maiden's fantastic achievement of fifty years guiding heavy metal, Fender and Jackson are releasing four new limited-edition models. These are a Fender Dave Murray Stratocaster, a Fender Steve Harris Precision Bass, a Jackson Adrian Smith Pro Series, and this amazing Fender Custom Shop Andy Hicks Masterbuilt Dave Murray Stratocaster.

So this is an exciting one. For decades, Dave was using an American Sunburst Strat live, fitted with his classic Seymour Duncan Hot Rails and JB Jr. pickups combo. However, his new #1 Strat on the last few tours has been a beautiful Olympic White model (Hendrix Woodstock nod) made by Fender Masterbuidler Andy Hicks. And as this guitar is also made by Andy Hicks to the exact same spec, you can effectively have the same Strat as Dave's new #1. This really is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Following the exact spec, this guitar features an alder body, NOS High-Gloss Poly Olympic White finish and a very unique walnut neck topped with 3A rosewood fingerboard. The guitar features beautiful medium jumbo stainless steel frets, and the Dave Murray Seymour Duncan loaded pickguard. This is a replica of the first brand-new guitar Dave has used in a while, and that he chooses to use for 80% of the set, simply because it's that good. Andy replicated the neck exactly from Dave's now #2 Strat (the old #1). There is no difference between the two, so you will be playing the exact guitar that Dave chooses. It also features the same hardware that Dave and Andy decided on together, including some great modern upgrades. These include an AxLabs Tone Claw Locking Spring Claw and Heavy Duty Noiseless Springs, as well as a wealth of FU-Tone components (42mm Big Brass Block and Tremolo Stopper, Titanium String Lock Screws, Saddle Mounting Screws, Nut Clamp Screws, Lock Nut Blocks, Saddle Inserts and Bridge Posts). We had the chance to speak with Andy recently about this exact guitar. Check out that video on our YouTube channel. This guitar won't hang about; it's a fitting tribute to one of the most influential rock players of all time.

Please note that we will only be able to get one of these and Fender state that the first units won't be shipping until late 2026. Deposits for this guitar will be non-refundable so please don't commit unless you are sure!
