Hi Everyone,
Mark from New York's Sanctuary, Iron Maiden tribute here. Sara's "KILLER" guitar is on it's way. It went on it's Maiden(s) voyage yesterday from New York. I'm truly honored that it's going to be in the Iron Maiden tribute family. Anyway, here's some specs on Sara's new weapon of choice. The guitar is an Ibanez RG 470, with a Slim Wizard II 24 fret Rosewood neck. There's 2 stock Ibanez humbuckers and a single coil in the lead position, and has a Floyd Rose tremolo with whammy bar. Action and intonation was set up for A440 tuning - The Iron Maiden standard. String height - was set up to where you can barely slide an audio CD between the neck and the strings where you would play lead. This makes it real easy for leads, and arpeggios if needed, a heaven for fingers that can fly.
The Paint job - was done by Shadoe Mckee of Beyond Custom Guitars. It's an emulation of the Iron Maiden Killers album, done with flourescent paint. Under black lighting conditions, it glows eerily.
I'm really looking forward to seeing Sara in action with this guitar. So lookout out everyone. Sara's Golden Goose, will be on the loose, in the next week or so. Stay tuned !!!
