As Iron Maiden celebrate their landmark 50th Anniversary, they stand as one of heavy metal's most influential and enduring forces since forming in East London in 1975. Seen as pioneering the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, the band reached new heights with their unmistakable sound and theatrical performances. Their signature style features galloping bass lines, multi-guitar harmonies and operatic vocals, while their omnipotent figurehead “Eddie” has evolved to become one of metal’s most enduring cultural icons. Selling over 100 million records across 17 studio albums, Iron Maiden has built a devoted global following - a testament to their five-decade legacy of shaping metal's evolution.

Janick Gers joined Iron Maiden in 1990, bringing his explosive energy and dynamic playing style to the band's distinctive multi-guitar attack. Known for his energetic stage presence—featuring dramatic spins and guitar-flinging showmanship—Gers has contributed technical precision and melodic sensibilities to Iron Maiden's sound for over three decades. The 50th Anniversary Iron Maiden Janick Gers Stratocaster comes in a classic Black finish and includes a 7.25" radius rosewood fingerboard with vintage tall frets and Seymour Duncan® JB Jr.™ neck and bridge pickups. Other features include a Fender® Vintage-style Synchronized Tremolo with bent steel saddles, 50th Anniversary neck plate and Gers' signature on the back of the headstock.
