🔥⚡ Channel the Neo-Classical Fury: 2016 Fender Japan Yngwie Malmsteen Signature Stratocaster – in the Rare Discontinued Yellow White ⚡🔥
Are you ready to shred like the Swedish speed demon who single-handedly invented neo-classical metal? Meet the axe that lets you channel pure Yngwie Malmsteen energy: this 2016 Made-in-Japan Fender Yngwie Malmsteen Signature Stratocaster in the now-discontinued Yellow White finish. Harder to find than a quiet moment in one of his arpeggio runs—and this one is dialed in and ready to fly.
Yngwie Johan Malmsteen (born Lars Johan Yngve Lannerbäck in Stockholm, 1963) took the guitar world by storm in the early ’80s. Inspired by Ritchie Blackmore, Jimi Hendrix, and classical masters like Bach, Paganini, Vivaldi, and Mozart, he fused blistering speed, sweep-picked arpeggios, harmonic minor scales, and dramatic flair into a brand-new genre. His 1984 debut Rising Force helped define “shred,” and he’s been tearing up stages ever since with his signature Stratocaster—one of the very first official Fender artist models (alongside Eric Clapton). This Japan-exclusive version captures the spirit of his legendary modified ’70s Strats (including the famous “Duck” in its yellow-tinged glory), complete with the scalloped board that lets notes scream and bend with total control.
Why this one stands out
• Alder body in that sought-after, discontinued Yellow White finish—warm, resonant, and visually striking with just the right vintage-tinged glow. This color is harder to find now, so don’t sleep on it.
• Scalloped maple fingerboard with a slim “C” neck profile, ~9.45” radius, 21 medium jumbo frets, and brass nut. The scallops give you that effortless, light-touch control Yngwie swears by—perfect for fluid bends, wide vibrato, and lightning-fast runs without fighting the board.
• Seymour Duncan YJM Fury stacked single-coil pickups (bridge, middle, and neck). Noise-canceling power with the clarity, output, and aggression that cut through a mix while staying true to classic Strat sparkle. Tight lows, glassy highs, and the ability to go from singing cleans to full-on neoclassical fury.
• Vintage-style synchronized tremolo, 3-ply white pickguard, large CBS-style headstock with Yngwie’s signature, and that classic Strat feel built for speed and expression.
• Scale length 25.5”, Professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone, action, intonation, and playability. Strung and ready—plug in and let the notes cascade.
Condition: Excellent preowned. Super minor playwear only—this guitar has been cared for and still looks fantastic. There’s a tiny little finish crack in the neck pocket that goes only through the top of the finish; it’s purely cosmetic, does not affect structure or playability, and is barely noticeable. Everything else is clean and tight. It’s been professionally set up so it plays like a dream right out of the gate—low, smooth action that invites those cascading runs and dramatic bends.
This isn’t just a signature model—it’s a direct pipeline to the sound and feel that made Yngwie a legend. Whether you’re chasing Paganini-inspired sweeps, Deep Purple-inspired fire, or your own high-velocity creations, this Yellow White beauty delivers the goods with Japanese precision and that unmistakable Malmsteen attitude.
Don’t let this rare discontinued finish get away. Grab it, crank the gain (or keep it clean—Yngwie’s tone is more nuanced than the stereotypes), and prepare to play loud. More is more.
Ready to make it yours? Serious inquiries only—let’s talk. This one’s built for the player who refuses to slow down. 🎸⚡

Our Guarantee
We stand behind every guitar we sell. "Good enough" is never good enough. Every instrument is inspected, set up, and tested by multiple people immediately before shipping. We deliver the highest standard of quality and have built a reputation as a three-time NAMM Top 100 Dealer since 2009. The Dude Abides.
Neck & Setup (unless otherwise noted)
- Neck is perfectly straight with no truss rod issues.
- Intonation is spot-on.
- Professionally set up with low action and new American-made strings.
- All frets are dressed, leveled, crowned (if needed), and polished to shine like new, with no divots.
Return Policy, Restocking Fees & No Tire-Kicking Policy
We offer a 7-day return policy. However:
- You must notify us in writing within 3 days of delivery (per tracking) of your intent to return.
- Original shipping and return shipping costs are not refunded unless the guitar is damaged in transit or is significantly not as described (for example, you ordered red and got white, or a Telecaster instead of a Les Paul).
- A 15% restocking fee applies to all returns for any reason other than damage in transit or significantly not as described. Please note that a 10% restocking fee applies to orders that have been purchased and paid for and have been off the market for 24 hours or more, even if they have not been shipped or picked up by the carrier, because we perform a final setup and change the strings as soon as an order is placed and paid for. NO EXCEPTIONS.
We do our best to honestly describe and photograph every guitar and most of the noticeable imperfections. That said, we are human, and something very small can be overlooked. If tiny marks, dings, or super fine scratches (normal wear) bother you, please don't buy.
We record demo videos of every guitar before shipping to document its exact condition and performance. Additional photos, measurements, or in-hand descriptions are available upon request prior to purchase.
Minor adjustments to a setup (for example, correcting a slight buzz or a truss rod tweak) are normal after shipping, due to carrier mishandling and climate and atmospheric changes, especially when moving from South Florida to colder or less humid environments. These slight issues do not constitute "significantly not as described." Guitars must be returned in the exact same condition as received/advertised, or additional repair/restocking fees will apply.
We are a small, family-owned and family-run business, not a big-chain retailer. We invest significant time, money, and effort into every guitar. This is a NO TIRE-KICKING shop. There is no post-purchase haggling, and there are no returns without restocking fees and no partial refunds. If minor cosmetic marks, tiny imperfections, odors/smells, or the possibility of a post-shipping setup tweak makes you uncomfortable, please do not buy. Plenty of large retailers offer free trials and can absorb shipping costs; we do not.
Payment, Shipping & International Duties
- All items can be shipped internationally. The buyer is fully responsible for all import duties, taxes, and customs fees.
- We accept PayPal, PayPal Credit, Affirm, and other major payment methods.
- Most U.S. shipments are sent via UPS or FedEx with full insurance, tracking, and signature confirmation. All packages are professionally packed for maximum protection.
International Shipping Note
International shipping prices shown are for most countries; certain countries have higher costs. We try to avoid USPS and mostly ship UPS, but in certain situations USPS is the only available or reasonable carrier. Express services (UPS, DHL, FedEx) are always available. We can't undervalue merchandise, as it could not be properly insured. If you would like to discuss different options, contact us by email or phone for a personalized quote.
Thank you for considering The Guitar Dude. We look forward to earning your business and delivering a guitar that exceeds your expectations. Contact us anytime for questions, consignment inquiries, layaway details, or a personalized shipping quote.
