The Fender® custom Shop Yngwie Malmsteen tribute Stratocaster® guitar (a.k.a. the "play loud" guitar) is a meticulous reproduction of Malmsteen's beloved instrument. Produced in limited edition it is authentic in every detail, including the famous "play loud" sticker on the upper horn and, of course, the distinctive scalloped maple fingerboard.

Like the original, it features DiMarzio® HS-3 pickups in the bridge and neck positions and a standard Fender '70s-era middle pickup, with a standard Fender bridge, a large headstock, and a battered Olympic white finish expertly treated to mirror each of the original guitar's many battle scars the nicks, dings, scratches, burns, and worn finish spots from decades of heavy use and abuse in Malmsteen's masterful hands.

Ok, if you have some type of great guitar studio/museum/collection ... or even a Yngwie shrine for that matter, than maybe I can see fronting $$$# for a guitar like this. However, if you are going to purchase this guitar thinking that you are getting the best piece of musical equipment that fender has to offer than that is a different story. You can buy a vintage strat neck, strap it on an american strat body, spend the money on the best pickups and hardware and still have money left over. I cant see buying this just as another guitar to jam with.

Okay...mine is short and sweet. Excuse me while I go buy a PRS McCarty and a Mesa Triple rect, and still have about $5k left over...This is nothing more than a heavy relic strat. Stick a peice of medical tape with the words play loud on your yellow strat...scratch it up, there you go. Horrific value for the money. Plays like any other well set up strat.

While I'm sure the Yngwie Strat is a great player (no more than any other factory Strat) the idea that Fender would get $12.5k for it just floors me. And they make a big deal over it being a beat up clone of Malmsteen's Strat. Guys, like I learned many years ago when I VanHalenized a cheap Strat copy, just because you look like him doesn't mean you play like him...

This guitar is astonishing. If your a fan of Malmsteen and have the cash then you'll love this guitar for the rest of your life and be happy with it. Its pricey but its a collectors guitars. If your looking for a guitar that has the tonal possibilities of this then you could definitely save yourself ten thousand bucks buying the Yngwie Malmsteen signature. This guitar is what it is. A Tribute to a Living Legend.
