HSS-Strat with maple fingerboard.

The Adrian Smith SDX features a basswood body, bolt-on maple neck, compound-radius rosewood or maple fingerboard, HSS configuration (high-output Jackson bridge pickup, Jackson standard middle and neck single-coil pickups), white pickguard (rosewood fingerboard model) or black pickguard (maple fingerboard model), five-way blade selector switch, Jackson tuners, Floyd Rose Special tremolo system and black hardware.
12"-16" Compound Radius Fingerboard

12"-16" Compound Radius Fingerboard

Jackson pioneered the use of the innovative 12"-16" compound radius design, in which the fingerboard gradually flattens toward the heel from its more rounded profile at the nut. This makes for comfortable and natural-feeling chording and riffing near the nut, with optimal shred articulation and bending nearer the heel.

HSS Configuration:Jackson High-Output Humbucking (Bridge)/Jackson Single-Coil Neck & Middle Pickups

An atypical configuration for Jackson, this guitar features a humbucker in the bridge position and single-coil pickups in the neck and mid positions. The Jackson high-output humbucking pickup was painstakingly voiced for full, rich tone while providing maximum overdrive and sustain. The Jackson single-coil middle and neck pickups deliver that tried-and-tested Strat sound.

For the price this guitar is great, I am by no means an Adrian Smith or hardcore Maiden fan, this guitar is simply a great build and well set-up out of the box. The neck is very playable you could make it sound like the USA version simply through a pickup upgrade, but for me the pickups are good enough.
