Player's Perspective
Music Store Live is proud to present this Fender Yngwie Malmsteen Stratocaster! It's like playing on air. That's the best way to describe the feeling of this guitar. For the uninitiated, the scalloped fretboard feels like your fingers are dancing above the fretboard. They are free to move as fast as they physically can without needing to make forceful contact with the fretboard - thus leaving you that much more time and energy to move on to the next note. It is all about efficiency of motion. An added benefit to this style of guitar is the capability of introducing a slightly different style of vibrato to your playing without bending, but by applying extra pressure when playing a note - very cool! The tone of this Strat is woody, bright and highly articulate. It nails the Yngwie tone and provides an exciting platform for any player to shred on.
