🔥⚡ 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. 🎸⚡​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s

We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 10% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives significantly not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
