Up for sale, a 1996 Fender Yngwie Malmsteen Signature Stratocaster Custom Edition model ST72-140YM in exceptional, 100% original condition and perfect working order. Produced in the third year of Yngwie's official endorsement with Fender Japan, this Fujigen factory-made model was the highest tiered iteration available. A discontinued, non-export model designed for sale only within Japan, this Yngwie Strat features a scalloped maple fretboard, brass nut, super jumbo fretwire, and a pair DiMarzio HS-3 single coil pickups.
Pickups include USA-made DiMarzio HS-3 single coils in the bridge and neck positions, with a Fender Japan ST-Vintage Alnico single coil in the middle position. The Dimarzios offers hum-free performance with a broad low end that's warm and tight with a smooth, glassy treble response. These qualities combine perfectly with a heavily distorted amp, because the sound won’t get muddy or messy, and as Dimarzio puts it, the HS-3 is the, "weapon of choice for Strat-powered classical metal." This ST72-140YM weighs 7lbs 7oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, slinky action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss finish is abbreviated YWH (Yellow White), as it's a purposefully yellowed iteration of Olympic White that closely matches Yngwie's vintage Strats. The finish has yellowed beyond its factory shade, with one sticker "tan line" on the lower bout on the back. Cosmetic wear is otherwise limited to some minor dings on the body as a whole, and the smooth ambered gloss on the neck profile is flawless.
A faux leather gigbag is included.
