Fender Yngwie Malmsteen Strat review and demo. 

that is a great point and i felt the same way. I was using Strat style bodies before i heard Yngwie...never had owned a real Strat. I was using 80s humbucker metal guitars. I knew Hendrix used one but i looked at it as a country music instrument even though Clapton played one. I was wrong. I love the glassy tone plus it can get raunchy!

Johnny Anderson yes! At some point in my late teens early twenties I played custom les pauls, then I entered a band where we played everything from chicago to chick corea to robbie williams lol and i noticed my custom Lp was very limited to sounds it could make to my buddy’s fender american strat 50th aniv... I sold it and bought myself an Eric Clapton strat... since that day 11 years ago I’ve only owned strats ... Having a Strat is like saying out loud to the world “ I’m a guitarist”...... thanks Jonny keep inspiring !

Johnny Anderson i bought my self an yngwie strat! Paypal credit in ebay 6 payments , I followed your example 💪🏻🤘🏻

@@johnnyanderson8901 You are correct, Strat's where originally made for country music, but as we know they can do a whole lot more than just country ( I think country guitarts are the most underrated player's in the world ) the idea behind the bolt on neck was if you broke the neck you could get a replacement. The " Good o'l boy's must have had strong hand's back in the day, they would have broken a Les Paul before the first song ended .

@@dicer4027 So true.

You are too kind.

Excellent. You are going to love it and thank you for the kind words.

this looks super ace and the George Lynch ESP would be match made in shred heaven.

That is awesome.

I cannot thank you enough.

Taco Bell will bring you nothing but heartburn and butt explosion. Johnny will bring a tasteful licks and a riff with a good bight to it.

True. The 22nd fret is added

@@shredhed572 not sure about that all his strats have 21 frets he showed off a 24 in a old video

Thanks for watching. I would prefer a 5 way myself. The guitar screams, there is no doubt about it.

@@johnnyanderson8901 do it. It makes the guitar so much more versatile.

Thank you sir. I really appreciate that.

Thank you Johnny your very polite , I was brought up same. But you don't have call me Sir , it makes me feel old ha , I'd say where around the same age. Thank you though but call me Ciaran ( the C is pronounced as a K , there's no K in the Gaelic Alphabet ) I've got a 71 blonde American strat the same colour as your Yngwie strat except it's a rose wood neck it's my main guitar when I play live, I've been playing in clubs & pubs since I was 16 & haven't stopped. Anyway I've got a couple of chenders , I found a great person In China, he makes really good strat copies he basically did exactly what I asked. I always look for a very solid neck the neck on both of them have curly maple necks the back of the necks are beautiful. I got a brass nut which is suprisingly very well made, I put a hs3 & a hs4 in them I'm not a big fan of the fury pickups I use as I said has3's & hs4's the furys are so similar to the Seymour Duncans it's crazy, I believe Yngwie worked with them to give the furys a tad more bite , that's the only difference . Yngwie acted like he went on this huge tone quest. He didn't , he acted like he worked so hard with Seymour Duncan, THERE HS3's made by Seymour Duncan . Anyway I like the Chenders , for a$180 guitar with a scalloped neck it's ridiculously cheap. I put new fender machine heads & a Fender standard tremolo in them as well I have them floating & they stay in tune while I use & abuse fender tremelos , from very subtle to Floyd Rose like abuse I mean I've broken fender tremelo arms in my old American strat so many times it had to be coil tapped & had a slightly thicker arm on the trem, it hasn't broken yet.... fingers crossed hahaha. I also put new hs3's & hs4s In the chenders set them up & they sound fantastic. Do you think the Fender American Yngwie Strat where I'm at they are $3600 if your lucky usually around &4000 + ,is it in your opinion worth paying that much ? I mean of course its going to be very well made, hey it's an American fender they are beautiful but I've already got a real 71 strat do you think the YJM U.S. Fenders are worth $3600 ? I mean $1700 is a steal, most of the Indonesian premium Ibanez are more min $1700 where I live & some are priced for well over $2000 ! I mean the Chenders I've got after I upgrade it & I put Fender tremolo & tuners, hs3's & 4's in it & set the action low, it costs me around $500 + & if you find a good guitar company in China you can communicate with in English ,you'll get quality wood & a good guitar that are quite well made. You've got to find a good company, most aren't too big on quality control. I guess I push him to use the finest maple necks he can make with this amazing curly maple even on the headstock. So would you pay $3600 min for a brand new American Yngwie strat ? I've been thinking of it, but I just bought a 70's White les Paul custom this beautiful guitar plays beautifully but it's so beat up, it would make the custom shop proud. And I've bought 5 other guitars in under a year. And sorry it's a little bit of a long reply, but I have no idea until I post it . It took me just about a minute to write this, I write fast & I read fast I thought everyone did until I got told off for writing a long reply on another guitar site on RU-vid ! To him maybe it was "long" but as I said I read & write fast I thought most people did but I've noticed people are starting to communicate with emoji's alone & that's an indictment of how people CHOOSE to communicate & the school system & some being inherently lazy. I've found a lot of the newer generations are very lazy not all of course . Emoji's & abbreviations are like pre school communication . I will not be part of it, from Shakespeare to lol ......sigh. So I hope none of your subscribers get upset, I've noticed a reply this long is too much to read for a lot of people & that's sad. So that's the bottom line I guess. Look forward to your reply, Take care.

Glenn could you pay the company you buy from? I really want to pick up A couple Of the chenders. More over time. Don’t wan To get screwed 3 times to find a decent company.

@@cygnus1965 What's a chender ?

@@cygnus1965 Sorry about the msg, I thought you were from another thread & I apologise. About chender's, I just found company's I don't know there name's & I can't give a name because I cant remember sorry Bro .There are so many company's , they are all made in the same factory I'd say but with different vendors , they are getting expensive like everything is else is, far too expensive to justify buying one . By the time you get new pup's because the one's that come stock just feed back & are microphonic , making them unplayable a new trem all new electronics & a new quality nut & counting in labour cost & hoping that they dont screw the neck up, it would cost you less to buy a second hand REAL American Stratocaster. That's my advice, I bought them out of curiosity not because I need them . I really recommend that you not waist you'r time & hard earned money on honestly a piece of crap Chinese copy , & it's a copy in look's only .I had spare pup's & one of my best friend's is a guitar tech, he did all the labour for free. buy a real strat or if they are too expensive have a look at the Harley benton range, they are great quality for a great price I've heard & seen on RU-vid guitar channels. They have guitar's with roasted maple neck's, stainless steel frets & by all account's are fantastic at a very low price for what you get.I hope that helped, Peace Bro

Good to be back. Thank you. Scotland. Wow.

Thank you. I really appreciate that!

Thank you. I really appreciate that.

@@johnnyanderson8901 Just got mine. They don't have the made in the USA logo on the inside anymore, and even though I love the guitar I am going to have to have some major set up done because the frets are beyond atrocious. I can't believe whoever inspected this guitar allowed it to go out like this. rough as hell when you bend a string on them and it feels like there is finish caked on them. Also the high E slips off the frets so easy it's ridiculous. So for a Fender made in the USA, I have to say major thumbs down to them. Hopefully I can get this thing fixed up and playable like yours seems to be

@@doyouluvit Glad you received your guitar. There is definitely some associated disappointment with this guitar. I love it, it is my go to guitar about 99 percent of the time. I did pay someone to set it up and it plays pretty good however, it seems like every couple of months I have to keep raising the 1st string. It buzzes out and when bending it dies. I have had to raise it on 3 separate occasions. I am hearing it might have a high fret (21st). For what i paid for the guitar and what I paid to have it set up i just think it should play better. But that is okay, i just have to work a little bit harder. I hope that you enjoy it. It is a very nice guitar.

@@johnnyanderson8901 appreciate the response! Good to know about that first string! I’m gonna get my frets re crowned and leveled and new strings. That should make it a Cherry!! Also my tech friend said he can fix the high E being so close to the edge 🙌🏼

Thank you Jeff! How have you been my friend? fretterjohn@yahoo.com

I did not know that. Like I said I do not know stuff. lol. Thanks for watching.

@@johnnyanderson8901 np. You play great btw.

@@joelortiz2281 Thank you.

Hahahahaha spoton !

I am trying to come back. Thanks for watching. It means a lot.

You are too kind. Thanks for watching.

Thank you.

The guitar is nice...and if you are an Yngwie fan...this is what he plays every night. It is pretty cool. Thanks for watching.

It is nice. I need to have it set up.

Thank you. I really appreciate it.

Thanks for watching. They have gotten quite a bit more expensive.

Get a used one try and get one 2012-2014 or newer ones, they have best scallops and jumbo frets. I just one used for $1875 total w/ tax, shipping etc.

Thank you so much. Very much appreciated.

I wish to goodness I had a Charvel. That is on my list. One way or another.

It does not feel heavy at all. Feels great. I think the Maestro knew what he was doing when he helped design this guitar. It is nice.

@@johnnyanderson8901 😎👍

Thanks for watching and your thoughts. I think someone has mentioned it. I get a bit confused sometimes lol.

@@johnnyanderson8901 I didn’t know until I bought a Gibson Les Paul. They have a shorter scale. Your video is great! I’m seriously thinking of buy this guitar so thanks for making these videos.

@@leiformesher9361 thank you very much. I really appreciate that!!

Thank you for the observation. I think if Yngwie wants to pick up a signature guitar he would probably want it to feel aged. Hence the thin lacquer. i am totally onboard with the cellophane complaint. Why? Lol. Thanks for watching man.

Not dead yet. Coming soon!

Indeed it is.

Also, those little packets are "authentic YJM 80's-era cocaine". Same as the stuff Yngwie used.

I did not know that. I am not that bright. lol

Thank you. the Jackson sounds awesome.

I believe you are going to like it. Thanks for watching.

Thank you!!

Thank you so very much and here you go.... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Mv5U2qbmo_8.html

You could look up Port Mahadia...lots of covers but some original stuff. Working on some stuff that will hopefully come to fruition.

It does have a three way. I am sorry that I did not bring that out. I think the frets are like super duper jumbo. I do not know much about the tremolo and I have never been able to keep a non locking tremolo in tune. So I doubt I ever use the bar. Thank you so much for watching.

That can be the trickiest part. It does require a light touch which may prompt a little rethinking before you go all in. For the most part I found it pretty easy to make the transition to a scalloped neck. Every now and then I dig in a little too heavy and you can hear an intonation anomaly.

@@johnnyanderson8901 Thank you - I am actually getting the 94 Japan model now - i guess I can always sell it if i suck !!!!!

Lol. Still single. Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it.

There are quite a few differences. Brass nut, pickups, 21 frets, vintage saddles etc. The quality across the board is way better with the Fender. The sound is a little different. I am not sure if it is worth it or not lol but I am glad I have it.

@@johnnyanderson8901 sweet

They seem to be back ordered. It also looks like the price has gone up about 250 bucks. $2,049. Ouch. The best lead time I can find is American Musical Supply. Looks like they are expecting some April 11th. www.americanmusical.com/fender-yngwie-malmsteen-stratocaster-vintage-white/p/FEN-107112-841

The real Fender has a special quality about it. The others are close in many ways..but the Fender is just plain nasty good.

Lol. Thank you brother. I have lost a few pounds. Thank you so much for watching. It is great to be back. More coming...trust me.

The Joe Wentz Project TV I absolutely agree my friend 👍 Great guitar Johnny!!!

@@R2R3Lockingnut Since R2R3 Lockingnut has replied on this video...he will now receive an Yngwie Malmsteen, Fender Signature Model...courtesy of Musicians Friend.

@@R2R3Lockingnut Thank you!

The Joe Wentz Project TV sweet action man 😂 LOL

Joe Wentz makes the world a better place!

I am learning that. Lol. Thanks for watching.

The Lincoln is really nice.

@@johnnyanderson8901 Yea man! Thx again friend. I can't say which I enjoy more between a John Suhr and a good strat. Tough one there but prob best to just dig them equally, ha! Blessings

Thanks man. I really don't know what I am talking about lol. I appreciate you watching.

@@johnnyanderson8901 it's kinda counterintuitive. I think of it like this: if you fret a note higher up the fret board, say an A on the high E string, you could lower the pitch of that note by decreasing the string tension by turning the tuning pegs. Same principle applies to scale length - the shorter it is, the lower the string tension must be in order to attain the same pitch as a guitar with longer scale length.

I have some knock offs...but man I would love to have a baby blue.
