Unboxing Fender Yngwie Malmsteen Signature Stratocaster

[@manaras]

A demo of Yngwie’s strat without even touching the harmonic minor scale is a touch of class. I love Tomo’s way.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Now I realized that I totally did forget to play that! Thank you!

[@Arifguitar]

@@TomoFujitaMusic that’s the best part of it I think, this guitar should be capable of doing other things that we don’t know.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you!

Blackmore played them scalloped.

[@necrophillia8620]

A demo of yngwie strat without any blublublublublublub.. 😂😂

[@sarahvlo]

The Malmsteen strat is a gem of a guitar. Very playable once you get used to it. The feel of the neck is amazing. The pickups are stacked humbucking single coils. Low-ish output. Very organic sounding. Surprisingly. I think it sounds the best thru a high gain Marshall.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing!

[@yngwiemartin5638]

Bravo Colombo !

[@FingalPersson]

I mean scalloped necks are the best feeling guitars to play on! I heard everyone saying you have to get used to it and the light touch and everything, but I was so used to light gauge strings before swapping my Fender neck with a scalloped so I felt I didn't have to adjust much, and it just feels more amazing to play than any other necks! Feels amazing and makes normal necks feel not so nice compared, it's quite addictive! I guess I had a light enough touch on playing it to not need to adjust my playing much or at all and before I got it I heard everyone say "have to get used to it" "have to pay extra attention to your technique" etc. But honestly from the first day it was just joy and fabulous to play on!

[@TheCyberMantis]

The value of that guitar just went up, Tomo-san played it!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you!

[@kronedog]

Beautiful guitar. I enjoyed this demo as you allowed me to hear the guitar itself without a bunch of distortion and reverb over it trying to play like Yngwie. Thanks Tomo!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much! So happy to hear that! Thank you!

[@friedrudibega6384]

I had a neck scalloped like ten years ago. The frets are now about gone but it still plays good. Huge Yngwie an Tomo fan right here! Thank you, Tomo!

you're a beast man. Also possibly the only person to play jazz during an Yngwie signature strat unboxing - like it.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@MAG-li5jo]

I have owned a couple YJM Strats. The HUGE benefit of the scalloped board is that you get a great grip on the strings with bending and a lot of control. This is why Ritchie Blackmore uses them. He sands between the frets himself. Plus, frictionless finger vibrato, which Yngwie is a master of. I am surprised more Blues players do not use them. And it is actually harder to play faster on scalloped board.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So awesome!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing!

[@tonycarpaccio9550]

I need to try one, I always imagined it would be very easy to fret notes sharp if you fret "hard".

[@MAG-li5jo]

@@tonycarpaccio9550 People often try the YJM Strat and push too hard wanting to feel wood on their fingertips. I always tell them to just play normal and they usually ease up and start to have some fun with it. Most people end up liking it.

[@ztevie.j]

I haven't found it's harder to play fast on a scalloped guitar? Or easier for that matter... If you press hard on the strings it will sound bad, so it kind of forces you to play very light which in itself probably help with the speed.

It'd be cool to see the Maestro and the Sensei jam together one day. Yngwie has some blues tunes too which are very good!

That would be so amazing! Thank you!

[@E.F.-777-1]

The straplocks are on, they're just recessed into the body. When you put the enclosed strap pin (3:19) on your strap, the insert goes right inside the body and locks in place. Also, the toggle switch caps often shatter or break during shipping because it rubs against the inside of the case, so they remove it for shipping purposes.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Back in the day which for me was 1987-88… maybe 89? I ordered one of the early Yngwie strats. Back then you could get them with rosewood fretboards. I had sonic blue, rosewood fretboard. Wish I still had it because it would certainly be a collectors item at this point!

[@_Yep_Yep_]

The Yngwie Strat has always been a cool guitar. The neck is the real party piece and it has special pickups and controls that gets you clean Malmsteen tone out of the box (if you can play Yngwie). The tuners, however, should be lockers for 2400 bucks out the door/shipped price. This is one of the most iconic guitars, and it makes me wonder why this particular model doesnt see periodic modernization similar to the Steve Vai Gem guitars made by Ibanez unless Malmsteen (known for being picky, spoiled, and super stubborn) declared it to be perfect 40 years ago when he first got it. To circle back on the neck; Eric Johnson, Yngwie, and SRV all played scalloped necks. Id really like to see Fujita Sensei put this through its paces and really flog it as an all purpose strat so we can get an idea of how it plays in the hands of a guy who has fluency in most all the playing styles. Is the neck great, or is it a pain in the ass for funk or chords or jazz, or tricky for the average player? Do modern jumbo or medium jumbos do it better? I've always heard theres nuances to the neck but not from someone who I could really count on to reliably hammer a guitar and tell me precisely how it does everything, at least up until Tomo Fujita acquired one. TomoFujitaMusic is waaaay more than a guitar review channel, but i think it would be fun to really spend some time and thoughtfulness with this guitar.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! I like regular fretboard! Once I make this demo... I will ship back this to my student.

[@ShiroiTengu]

The tuners are what Yngwie spec'd himself and locking ones are totally unnecessary with vintage style tuners like this. If the guitar is setup properly it will stay in tune without any locking. Also, Eric Johnson and SRV NEVER played scalloped fretboard guitars. Ritchie Blackmore and Uli Jon Roth did though. Finally: the YJM strats do get periodic updates, it's just that they're not super visible and not often. The newer ones use threated brass inserts for the neck to attach to the body, the pickups have changed, the strap locks too.

[@Buddhabellie]

I have been scalloping my necks for 40 years. But what I do is leave the first 4 Frets alone. If I don't I tend to squeeze the open chord sharp. A lot of freedom with a scalloped fretboard board.

[@FingalPersson]

@@TomoFujitaMusic And yes, it's a very expensive guitar and the pickups are special! special bottom coil that actually injects negative hum into the pickup circuit, and at the end of the production process they fine tune each pickup for maximum noise cancelation; The middle pickup, based on a '63 Strat pickup, uses specially treated alnico magnets and is reverse wound to cancel hum when used with the neck or bridge pickup. The bridge pickup uses alnico 5 magnets and is specially voiced to be hotter without sacrificing that sweet top end sparkle. so pretty special pickups

Not touch the fretboard so faster move?

[@hisashiibaraki3715]

I was a big Ritchie and Yngwie fan back in the day (HS years in mid to late 80s) and my main axe was a mij strat with scalloped rosewood board. The pros are like tomo says you can play with a lighter fretting touch which (after you get used to it) allows you to play faster. The cons are 1. Hard to play chords without bending the pitch sharp and 2. Once you get used to it you can’t play in scalloped guitars as they will feel so foreign.

[@hisashiibaraki3715]

Once you get used to it you can’t play UN scalloped guitars I meant…

[@Peter7966]

@@hisashiibaraki3715 Thanks... I remember jazz guitarist John Mclaughlin played a scalloped guitar years back. He certainly could shred. I knew he was influenced by Indian music. I always wondered if a scalloped guitar allowed him to get the micro-tones that you might get on an Indian instrument, like a sitar.

[@chakkun1006]

@@Peter7966 that’s very interesting! I never knew anybody outside the Blackmore-neoclassical lineage used scalloped necks. That certainly would be a possibility with scalloped boards I suppose. Forgot to mention earlier but bending a note then applying finger vibrato is much easier with a scalloped neck since there’s no friction with the board.

[@stoneyroberts9118]

Cool guitar but they should come with lifetime stainless steel frets because any luthier will get cold chills from the thought of having to refret a scalloped board. The pyramid peak at the fret is bound to cause major chip out damage when pulling the frets.
