To celebrate one of heavy metal\u2019s most influential band\u2019s 50th anniversary, Seymour Duncan<\/a> has launched a Janick Gers signature Strat pickup set and loaded pickguard with maiden coded collectible packaging.<\/p>\n

The Janick Gers Signature Strat Set pairs a JB Jr. for Strat in the neck and bridge positions with a Hot Rails for Strat in the middle. Seymour Duncan says the combination delivers the lead tone and rhythm crunch Gers has brought to Iron Maiden<\/a>\u2019s live performances. It\u2019s also available as a loaded pickguard.<\/p>\n

The new set joins the existing Dave Murray signature Strat Set and Loaded Pickguard and the Steve Harris Signature P-Bass pickup. Seymour Duncan says the range captures the tones behind Maiden\u2019s music across five decades, from Murray\u2019s fluid lead playing to Harris\u2019s aggressive low-end attack.<\/p>\n

The Murray set uses Hot Rails for Strat in the neck and bridge positions with JB Jr. in the middle, the reverse of Ger\u2019s layout. Harris\u2019s signature P-Bass pickup is a medium-output design originally developed in Seymour Duncan\u2019s Custom shop. It has hand-ground Alnico 5 rod magnets and is wax potted to reduce noise and it\u2019s a drop-in replacement for the split-coil P-Bass pickups.<\/p>\n

Every pickup set and loaded pickguard in the collection now ships in its own individually illustrated box. Each is a different take on the brand\u2019s official artwork and features Eddie, Iron Maiden\u2019s mascot. Seymour Duncan is pitching the boxes as collector\u2019s pieces, marking more than five decades of the brand\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
