This guitar is part of a collection of many guitars and was not played much. It has been stored in its case in a properly humidified room. Every bit of case candy is included, and the foam protective wrap on the handle of the case, along with the hang tag, is still there. The case is mint. The plastic on the back plate is still present. NOTE- the Dunlop strap locks that came with it are included, but are not pictured.
There is no fret wear. There are few very light surface scratches that are hard to photograph, mostly around the buckle area.
Professionally set up with Yngwie Malmsteen Signature .008-.046 light gauge electric guitar strings, this guitar has a nice low action, a straight neck with no buzzing, polished frets, and properly adjusted intonation and pickup height.
From Fender Custom shop's website:
Nobody brings the fury to the fingerboard like Yngwie J Malmsteen, the legendary guitarist who single-handedly invented the neo-classical shred genre on his modified Vintage White Stratocaster. As only the artisans at the Custom Shop can do, we co-designed this guitar with Malmsteen, constantly refining the design until he loved it, right down to the special pickups and the distinctively scalloped fingerboard. Originally released in 1988, the Yngwie Malmsteeen Stratocaster was one of the first official Fender signature instruments, and we're proud to add this Custom Shop model as a permanent part of the Custom Artist Collection.
Balancing dynamic response and articulation, the custom Seymour Duncan YJM Fury single-coil pickups are voiced for their positions, reinforcing each other to create a high-performance, responsive set of pickups. The two-piece select alder body wears a NOS lacquer finish with WLS undercoat while the tinted maple neck sports a "Custom C"-shaped profile that's designed for fleet-fingered playing. Not just for shredders, the 9.5"-radius fingerboard is scalloped, just like Malmsteen's original, which provides more control along with enhancing your ability to bend and manipulate notes. Combining the vintage-inspired style of a "big" headstock, vintage bridge and "F"-stamped tuning machines with player-oriented enhancements like 21 super-jumbo frets, brass nut and special strap locks drilled into the guitar for extra security, this instrument will bring new life and ideas to any player's music.
Other features include 5-way pickup switch, vintage-style wiring, 3-ply Eggshell pickguard, vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge and wing string tree with metal spacer. Includes Yngwie Malmsteen Signature .008-.046 light gauge electric guitar strings, deluxe hardshell case, strap and Certificate of Authenticity.
