Fender Yngwie Malmsteen MN VW

They guitar comes with perfect finish. Setup is horrible and need to be adjusted. I put new YJM strings and set up it correctly to the YJM spec.
In my model i did not expect the E string falling off. Its close but maybe my technique is just good enough to play like this. Scallop is good. Tone is OK. Maybe Dimarzio was better on low gain. Still output is low.

Cons:
Volume poti act strange, cracking on 0 and 10. I will replace it soone or later for YJM speed pot.

There is GAP between Neck and Body. Of course body is Vintage style , neck is modern. Typical thing. Bridge is Vintage Spacing too. I will replace it soon or later too.

Neck Tone pot is not bypass bot while the bridge is. I do not get why they just did not do same thing. I will replace or cut it later on.

Trem Arm require put a spring before mounting. Can be easy lost.

The guitar Strap on picture is not included, instead of this leopard YJM one you get cheap +-10euro fender strap :)

I bought this guitar recently as I was looking for a classic strat sound with less noise when used with high gain sounds. I was also interested to try a scalloped neck as I've always preferred jumbo frets on other guitars.
I am absolutely delighted with the sound and playability of the guitar (I made a little demo video here showing some of the tones I can get from it scalloped neck takes a little getting used to but I love it and really enjoy the extra grip you get for bending and vibrato.
The only negative thing I can say about the guitar is that there seems to be a mismatch between the string spacing of the bridge (vintage) and the width of the neck (modern slimmer Fender style). This means that the E strings are extremely close to the edge of the neck and I find I regularly pull the high E off the edge when doing pull-offs on that string. I was aware of this limitation though before buying the guitar (I researched a good bit on the web before buying it) so it was not a surprise. Just a little disappointing that Fender have not resolved it. I guess you could learn to get used to it, but in my case I'm going to resolve it myself by changing the bridge to a Callaham after-market bridge. This should also solve another issue with the tremolo in that there's a lot of play with the bar, again something that could be better.
So to sum up, for me it's a fantastic guitar, but let down a little by a poor choice (and quality) of bridge. The other components, like the machine heads, quality of fret dressing are all very good.

I've had this now for approx 10 months. The pros are it looks great, the pickups are good, the hardware in general is good. However, the cons are: 1. As with most malmsteen strats, the vintage spaced bridge means the high E is practically falling off the neck and takes getting used to, however I knew that beforehand so not a big deal. 2. The nut was unplayable when it arrived, the B and G were getting stuck like crazy and twanging hard when they'd snap through, tuning was also very poor in general, again down to the nut (even with light stings, 8s a la malmsteen in fact). I had a tech look at it and after being re-filed its now okay. 3. The nitro neck is gloopy and sticky and you may need to sand it a bit with wire wool.
So overall now, having done some work on it, I'm happy with it. But having to do this kind of work on a €2k+ guitar is crazy and very poor from Fender. Also some players will have to put a new bridge on it due to the spacing, which is also crazy for a €2k+ guitar
