A Custom Shop Tribute to a rock & roll icon!

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.

However this giutar can make you homeless it is a true tribute to a guitarist who changed the world. Yes it does produce a similiar sound to what you heard on the first 5 albums and it does replicate the correct era and time YJM started his career. i do beleive it is a good axe but I prefer the standard signature. The cost seems stupid but the EVH costs more. This is for the collector with bread and not the striving artist. But I do beleive this thing scares Frankenstein, I am afraid (of cost, care and maintenance of this beast).

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.

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...
