I mean, Judas Priest get two pickups named after their songs. Sinner and Painkiller...
Black Sabbath have Warpig(s) and two of their lead singers have got one as well (DIO, Holy Diver - Ozzy Osbourne, Miracle Man)

I think the most distinctive Maiden "guitar" sound is Steve Harris's trademark galloping bass.

So maybe we could have a BK P-bass pickup called The Trooper.

lets face it, we're BKP mad.

it's probably because we got pickups, that do every maiden era sound already.

the VHII is for the early days, then you got the cold sweat and the holy diver. for the modern tones, you take pretty much just any british sounding pickup and run it through an amp with moderate gain and that's it.  


the distinctive sound of iron maiden comes from its members and the way they write.

I would suggest to offer a single coil named "6" and a strat set with three of them called "666"  :twisted:

Then if you had a Ritchie Blackmore signature Strat with just two pickups, it would be... route 66?

I had to look it up in Wikipedia:

"The slang term Pwn, used primarily in the Internet gaming culture, means to soundly defeat an opponent."

Not that we're "opponents", Hunter.  More like brothers in arms.  Although that's a bit too Dire Straits for comfort....

It's a spelling mistake on the word own - Notice the letter p is right next to the o on a keyboard? - Basically people thought it looked cool and ran with it.

If someone has been "owned" it means they've basically been very much beaten.

I'd buy a set of invaders. As long as they had etchings of eddie on them. And I suppose they'd have to sound good, too.

Well, if we're gonna have Maiden bass pups, then I want a Rick-sized humbucking bass pup called "Overkill", or possibly just "Hammersmith".  8)

That ain't the way IP works, dude. If Tim's company had nothing to do with guitar parts or accessories, it might fly, but definitely not with things being the way they are.
