A More-is-more Strat Fit for a Modern Maestro
When it comes to the topic of quintessential shredders, Yngwie Malmsteen is at the top of the list. And his custom-spec'd Fender Stratocaster has been his weapon of choice for the totality of his decades-long career. The Yngwie Malmsteen Strat was tailor-made for virtuosic fretboard gymnastics, boasting a comfortably contoured alder body, a relaxed Modern "C"-shaped neck, and a lightning-fast scalloped fingerboard. A set of Seymour Duncan YJM Fury noiseless Strat pickups discharge scorching-hot lead tones with maximum articulation. You also get a sustain-enhancing brass nut, vintage-style "F"-stamped tuning machines, and a 6-saddle American Vintage synchronized tremolo. Players searching for the ultimate conduit for their rapid-fire neoclassical excursions will find the Fender Yngwie Malmsteen Stratocaster the consummate shred machine.

Satisfies your need for speed
You can bet the Yngwie Malmsteen Stratocaster was built for breaking speed records. Built upon a sleek contoured alder body with a spotlight-ready gloss urethane finish, this solidbody electric guitar features a malleable Modern "C"-shaped maple neck with a '70s Bullet-style truss rod and a sustain-heightening brass nut. Its fast-playing 9.5-inch-radius, 21-fret fingerboard is scalloped — just like Yngwie's personal Strats — arming you with enhanced control and extended note-manipulation expression.
Poised for savage sonic fury
Employing a patented stack design, the Fender Yngwie Malmsteen Stratocaster's Seymour Duncan YJM Fury Strat pickups deliver savage lead tones with zero noise.

The guitarists here at Sweetwater appreciate how balanced YJM Fury Strat pickups are; you get enough bite to cut through the din, but without any trace of harshness or brittleness. The Yngwie Malmsteen Strat also brandishes Fender's no-load tone control, which retains every ounce of your high end in the fully open position.
