Jackson LTD Adrian Smith PRO Signature SCS1 Snow White
Product information "Jackson LTD Adrian Smith PRO Signature SCS1 Snow White"
To mark Iron Maiden's 50th anniversary, Jackson celebrates one of their most influential guitarists: Adrian Smith. With the Adrian Smith Jackson SC1 – 50th Anniversary Edition, an iconic working instrument from metal history arrives in the Session-Shop.
The SC1 combines the preferred features of Smith's legendary Jackson guitars and delivers exactly the powerful, cutting sound that has been part of Maiden's distinctive three‑guitar wall for decades.
Equipped with a DiMarzio DP100 Humbucker and two Fender Sumerian Singlecoils, it offers enormous tonal versatility – from fat and biting to crystal-clear and defined. The 12–16" compound-radius Maple Fretboard provides comfortable chording and effortless shredding, while the top-mounted Floyd Rose Double-Locking Tremolo guarantees absolute tuning stability even under extreme tremolo action.
Visually, the SC1 is modelled on Adrian Smith's striking stage instruments: slim, fast, unmistakably Jackson. An instrument that has made history live and in the studio for decades and now, as an Anniversary Edition, pays homage to one of the most influential metal bands in the world.

Jackson Guitars arose from Grover Jackson's takeover of the well-known company Charvel's Guitar Repair in 1978. The collaboration with then Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Randy Rhoads in 1980 resulted in the Rhoads body shape still available today and also marked the start of Jackson Guitars. The timing was perfect: heavy metal enjoyed a heyday in the 1980s and the trend (sparked by Eddie Van Halen) was for so-called super- or powerstrats. These are guitars that are visually more or less based on the classic ST shape but fitted with more modern and stylistically appropriate components like humbuckers or Floyd Rose tremolos. Jackson soon earned a reputation as a forge of first-class, USA-built high-end custom instruments, seen in the hands of many well-known guitarists of the era. With the musical changes of the 1990s, Jackson Guitars began opening factories in the Far East to offer their instruments in more affordable price ranges. Since 2002 both Jackson and Charvel have been part of the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation.
