Got it yesterday. While I'm no shred master (don't have the talent) makes for one hell of a blues guitar. Can really get ahold of the strings for bends and vibarto.




and with the rest of the crew

Hello Mr Jinx... Congrats on the new Strat. Do you like the scalloped neck.
Nice collection of axes also.
enjoy..

I do like it. It was not as BIG of an issue as I thought it might be getting used to the scalloped neck. You can really get ahold of the strings for bends. I don't think it makes you play faster. Actually I think it is a bit more tricky ripping on a scalloped neck. Once again I'm not a "shredder" type player so its not my area of expertises.

Even after just a day it feels weird going in reverse to a "non-scalloped" neck. That and the huge jumbo frets on the Yngwie model compared to my other strats.

I am glad that you like it... I have always been curious about the scalloped
fret board, I have not played one yet, I am not a shredder type player either, I have the 08 Am. deluxe that look similar to yours and I love the way it plays and sound.
Anyways, Congrats on the Strat addition and welcome to the forum.

dude i wish i had enough money to get one of those beautiful guitars

I've had Yngwie and Blackmore strats. It was actually easier for me to play fast on a scalloped neck because it required me to develop a lighter touch.

Your Malmsteen is awesome, always loved that color
