Dave Murray's Guitars
In this picture, Dave Murray can be seen playing his 1957 Fender Stratocaster previously owned by Paul Kossoff of the band Free.
Dave bought it in 1976 after seeing it advertised in the magazine "Melody Maker".
Fender issued a USA made Dave Murray signature model in 2009 based on this guitar.
Dave uses three Custom Shop Stratocasters, according to Guitar Geek's rig diagram.
Dave used a Victory amp and Les Pauls for recording the majority of Book Of Souls, primarily this 2002 1960 Series Iced Tea Les Paul Classic with a Seymour Duncan '59 neck pickup and a JB in the bridge, and a Gibson Axcess Standard Les Paul with Floyd Rose
In the image provided by Dailybreeze, Dave Murray is pictured playing a Gibson Custom Les Paul Axcess Standard, demonstrating his use of this guitar.
In the 1982 live performance of "Total Eclipse" by Iron Maiden, as seen in the YouTube video by ktz49, Dave Murray can be seen using an Ibanez Destroyer.

This HHH Dave Murray signature Strat has a Seymour Duncan JB Jr pickup in the middle position, for an added sheen of clean jangle. Dave favours a middle position or neck-and-middle position for rhythm work
Here we have the rarest of the rare! Not only is this one of the rarest ESP Custom Shop guitars on the planet (having the Gibson Firebird body, Jackson lawsuit headstock & custom artwork) but this was OWNED AND PLAYED BY HEAVY METAL LEGENDS IRON MAIDEN! With over 100 MILLION records sold and 1 BILLION plays on YouTube, Iron Maiden are Rock and Roll Royalty. The guitar is in a rare ESP factory tour fitted flight case that still has the Rock-It Cargo waybill from JFK New York to London Heathrow as well as an earlier waybill from Columbus Ohio when it toured with Iron Maiden. You can google the company name to see that to this day the company handles the logistics for Iron Maiden. The dates correlate with USA tour dates for Iron Maiden's Seventh Son of a Seventh Son album when guitarist Dave Murray was extensively playing ESP guitars. After this time, the guitar went to Iron Maiden's Tour Manager (and guitar tech) Bill Barclay who eventually brought the guitar to world famous London guitar dealers Vintage And Rare Guitars who sold it to the Charvel/Jackson museum collection in Switzerland where it was the only non-Charvel/Jackson guitar! This is a collection that includes the very first Jackson and Charvel serial number guitars...that should tell you how special this guitar is. It has been in that collection for the past 21 years until coming into our possession! Not only was Bill Barclay the Tour Manager, Production Manager & Guitar Tech for Iron Maiden, but he performed the same duties for Motley Crue, Scorpions, Anthrax, Joe Satriani, Foreigner, Living Colour and more!
In this photo, Dave Murray is playing a Charvel Model 2 guitar.

In this video, as well as many others from the Maiden England concert, you can see Dave using a cream ESP strat style guitar with a Floyd rose tremolo system and an HSH pickup configuration. This model, which resembles an ESP 400 series guitar, was custom built by the ESP Tokyo custom shop. The guitar is especially identifiable at 2:52 in the video, as well as the solo at 4:27.
