Unleash the fury!

The Fender Yngwie Malmsteen Stratocaster has been updated to be more like his current number-one Fender! Updates include a White /Black/White pickguard, bullet truss rod nut and machine screw neck mounting! This neck mounting method provides a better connection and overall tone transfer to the guitar body.

Like the original Yngwie Strat, this amazing axe features a solid alder body, modern "C" shape maple neck, and Yngwie's signature scalloped maple fretboard with Dunlop 6000 Super-Jumbo frets for a playing experience as fast as you are!

The pickups are all Yngwie tone, too! Neck and middle pickups are DiMarzio YJMs and the bridge pickup is a DiMarzio HS-3 Stack. Switch pickups with a 3-position blade and make it wail with the American Vintage Synchronized Tremolo bridge. The brass nut provides a bright sound you can't get any other way. Made in Fender's Corona, California factory.

Super-STRAT!!

Very nice Fender super-Stratocaster!! Quality of this Fender guitar is more than apparent. I really like the pickups and they are perfect for metal and suited also to various other genres. Some people claim the pickups are weak. I say.... get a good overdrive/distortion pedal and hold on! Malmsteen uses the exact same DiMarzio pickups in his guitars and has done so for over 20 years.

The guitar I received is light (barley 7 pounds) and the action super low, smooth and fast. Great sustain. The rosewood fretboard on mine is perfect and the jumbo frets cut and filed perfectly. Neck feels like a beefy C-shape. Comes with a 3 way switch – sort of lame but a 5 way is easy enough to install and cheap too. After a set-up with a tech this guitar was simply incredible. I play mostly heard rock, progressive jazz/rock and metal and this electric and my old ESP are all I need for a night of heavy gigging. Item came with a nice vintage style tweed case and some other goodies too. Overall a great buy and a very awesome USA made Fender Stratocaster.

I saw Joe Stump play this week. I sat 10 feet away from where he was standing. Among his guitars was one similar to this one but made by the ESP custom shop. Check out his guitar page online! I think that with all the string bending that is typical of this music style, why would Fender not have steel frets? Otherwise you could find yourself refretting or changing necks before long. I also agree with the other reviewer, nothing but the best pick ups will do. So if these are week, they must not be what YM is using.

Yngwie Strat not for Metal

Posted by Strat + Marshall = WOW from Phoenix on May 23, 2010

Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Pro player for almost 40 years

Reviewer's Play Style: Blues, hard rock, metal

As many other reviewers have pointed out, the pickups on the Yngwie are surprisingly weak. When I received the guitar the setup was horrible. It’s hard to believe Fender would ship a guitar in unplayable condition. That said, once everything was properly adjusted it turned out to be a blues monster. It sounds like a Strat, what else is there to say. Also, you can do 4 note bends with ease due to the scalloped neck. The one feature that would be nice would be a 5 way switch, but that can be had for under $25. Blues, jazz, rock, maybe hard rock, but definitely not a metal guitar. If you play metal buy a Les Paul. Overall, other that the scalloped frets it’s nothing special, but I love Strat’s for blues, and even though it’s a little pricey it’s a keeper.

this is a historical axe that will be around for the next 50 years. congratulations to Fender for another invented marvel. The sound is extremely tight and the action great. I like the whole package. But I'll stick with the orignal YJMs on it with the HS 3 in the bridge. Scalloped frets? Good. Very good. So apeggiate, sweep, legato, tocatta, hammer on and do what you need. This guitar is the thing. In fact I beleive it even scares Frankenstein.

I have only been playing the guitar for about a year but i've gone through about six guitars. after I got this one it blew me away! i dont know what does it but the sound quality is amazing, and some people say the scalloped frets are harder to play on but when I played on it I actually played better and faster because with scalloped frets you barely have to touch them to hit the notes so i think its easier to play on!
