His signature Strat boldly reflects his legacy and prowess, offering the playing experience of a lifetime. When you pick this guitar up, you can't help but feel unstoppable.

Sublime Seymour Duncans

Pickups for professionals. The trio of customised Seymour Duncan YJM Fury single coils give this guitar its distinctive and unique voicing. Made to bring out every small detail in your riffs, they will make a big difference to your tone. Whether you're wanting to play at the speed of light or simply noodle your way through some blues, they'll respond with absolute clarity and exceptional expression to bring about the sound of your dreams.

The bridge pickup is bright, punchy, and rich, with a tone that will send shivers down your spine. Switch to the neck and you'll get a warm, rich, saturated sound which flows like a river, and makes string bends scream. Then there's the middle pickup. Balanced and dynamic, it will give you tonnes of options when you want something bright, twangy, and clear. Together, these pickups will let you express your music freely.

Prime playability

On your marks… Get set… Shred! Nothing will hold you back when you're holding the slick flat sawn maple neck. Made to the classic, comfortable 'C' shape, it allows your hand to manoeuvre across the fretboard fluidly and with absolute accuracy. And the scalloped maple fretboard adds even more quality playability. Offering greater control over your string bends, it allows you to play cleanly and withy greater attention to detail, further enhancing your sound. The maple wood brings a bright, punchy resonance to the table, adding even more tightness and detail to your riffs. It's liberating.

Fuel your performance with expression

It doesn't get more creative than using a whammy bar in performance. Malmsteen himself uses one to incorporate the wildest sonic acrobatics into his playing. And now, you can inject your performance with your own creative flair. Whether you're unleashing screeching dive bombs, giving your solo that extra kick, or simply decorating your chords with some elegant shimmer – the famed Strat tremolo system gives players an even bigger platform to experiment their sound with. A Strat wouldn't be a Strat without it. So it goes without saying that Malmsteen's signature features the iconic tremolo bridge design, for even more possibilities in your sound.

Maximum instrument security

An instrument of such individuality needs protecting. Which is why the Yngwie Malmsteen signature Strat comes with a deluxe hardshell case. Take your cherished instrument on the road, with the peace of mind that it’ll be in pristine condition every time you play. Preventing scratching, scraping, or any other damage to your guitar - the deluxe hardshell case makes transporting between venues simple and stress-free. No worries. No panic. Just the excitement of performance, the way it should be.
