November 2008 sees the 100-instrument limited edition release of the eagerly awaited Fender Custom Shop (“Play Loud”) guitar replica. The instrument is a meticulous recreation of the infamous and battle-hardened 1971 Stratocaster guitar that fueled Malmsteen’s meteoric rise to metal stardom, complete with heavily worn Olympic white finish, scalloped fingerboard and distinctive body graphics.
The Fender custom Shop Yngwie Malmsteen tribute Stratocaster guitar (a.k.a. the "play loud" guitar) is a meticulous reproduction of Malmsteen's beloved instrument. Produced in limited edition it is authentic in every detail, including the famous "play loud" sticker on the upper horn and, of course, the distinctive scalloped maple fingerboard.
Like the original, it features DiMarzio HS-3 pickups in the bridge and neck positions and a standard Fender '70s-era middle pickup, with a standard Fender bridge, a large headstock, and a battered Olympic white finish expertly treated to mirror each of the original guitar's many battle scars”the nicks, dings, scratches, burns, and worn finish spots from decades of heavy use and abuse in Malmsteen's masterful hands.
