Engineered for neoclassical virtuosity, the Fender Artist Signature Yngwie Malmsteen Stratocaster features an alder body finished in gloss urethane Vintage White with a 3-ply white pickguard. Weighing 8 lbs 3 oz, it incorporates a maple neck with a Modern "C" profile, gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish, and a bullet-style truss rod, paired with a 9.5" radius scalloped maple fingerboard carrying 21 super jumbo frets, black dot inlays, and a 1.650" brass nut over a 25.5" scale length. Its pickup configuration consists of a Seymour Duncan YJM Fury STK-S10B in the bridge and YJM Fury STK-S10N stacked single-coils in the middle and neck positions, controlled via a 3-position blade switch, master volume, neck tone control, and a No-Load tone control for the middle and bridge pickups. Hardware appointments include a 6-saddle American Vintage synchronized tremolo, Fender vintage "F" stamped tuners, aged white control knobs, and chrome hardware, complete with a G&G hardshell case.

Still the foremost and most formidable practitioner of the genre, Yngwie Malmsteem practically invented neo-classical shred singlehandedly. The guitar he has always done it with is a Stratocaster, and for those who aspire to Malmsteen's flamboyantly fleet-fingered style, the Yngwie Malmsteen Stratocaster is modeled after the Swedish metal virtuoso's favorite Strat®, right down to its special pickups and scalloped fingerboard. A distinctively designed model for one of the world's most distinctive Strat masters.
