Question Maiden Guitars and pickups

What Guitars and/or pickups did Iron Maiden use from 80'-86' or somewhere around there? Does anyone know?

I know these aren't from '80 - '86. I'm sure you could use google to find what they used back then, if you haven't already tried.

umm... i don't think i'll drink ... but the fish is a bit out of you're range probably(being like $2,000 used)... though the triple giant is more ideal for the cost(i paid $400 for mine)...

Dave Murray used a Fender strat with I think Gibson PAF pickups in front & back, & used a EMG stacked in the middle. Adrian Smith used a Ibanez Explorer & a Gibson SG. They used Marshall JCM 800 amps. The old kind, like the 1986 model. I don't know if they were hot rodded, but they may have used tube sreamer pedals. Not sure. They had 4 heads each & they were either daisy chained or runing together thru the effects loop, but I don't think these old amps had effects loops.
