A Signature Born from Neoclassical Virtuosity
Designed with Yngwie Malmsteen, this signature Stratocaster incorporates the sonic and ergonomic codes that shaped his style: scalloped maple fretboard, streamlined 3-position electronics, and vintage hardware. It follows the tradition of Fender's Artist models while asserting a strong identity, crafted for speed and precision.
Who Is This Guitar For?
It is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a cutting Strat for shred, hard rock, and neo-classical heavy metal, while remaining credible with a clear Strat-typical tone for rock and blues. The "Slim C" neck and scalloped fretboard require slight adaptation for beginners but then offer remarkable expressiveness and control.
Sound Characteristics
The alder body and maple neck/fretboard deliver a sharp attack, detailed highs, and precise mids. The brass nut enhances brightness and sustain. The Seymour Duncan YJM Fury pickups (STK-S10N at neck and middle, STK-S10B at bridge) are noiseless stacked singles providing punch and definition without the hum of traditional single-coils. The 3-position selector preserves vintage aesthetics (neck, middle, or bridge), while the 6-saddle synchronized tremolo promotes intonation and stability. The result: a precise, fast sound with clear note separation and strong dynamics.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the original string tension and response, choose a 009-042 nickel string set. A curved capo suited to the 9.5" / 240 mm radius will ensure optimal tuning. A hard case in Stratocaster format will effectively protect the instrument during transport. Add a quality strap and a 6.35 mm straight jack cable for stage and studio use.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Fender Stratocaster Artist Japan Yngwie Malmsteen suitable for shredding?
This model is suitable for intermediate to expert guitarists thanks to its "Slim C" maple neck and sculpted fingerboard. The 21 Medium Jumbo frets facilitate fast techniques. The 240 mm radius and 648 mm scale length maintain the traditional Stratocaster feel.
Which pickups does this Yngwie Malmsteen Stratocaster feature?
The SSS configuration includes three Seymour Duncan YJM Fury pickups: two STK-S10N at the neck and middle positions, and one STK-S10B at the bridge. These stacked single-coils reduce background noise and emphasize note clarity.
Does the scalloped neck change playing?
The sculpted maple fingerboard reduces finger contact with the wood between frets, which requires adjustment in the pressure applied to the strings.
How many pickup positions are available?
A 3-position switch accesses the bridge, middle, and neck pickups. Intermediate combinations are not offered. Controls include a master volume, a tone for the neck pickup, and a tone for the middle pickup.
What string gauge should be used on this Fender?
A nickel set of 009-042 strings is recommended to preserve the original tension and response. The brass nut and the vintage synchronized tremolo with 6 saddles contribute to attack and sustain.
