Yngwie leaves his vintage Fenders back home is his castle, surrounded by a shark-infested moat and guarded by trolls, but he tours with a few of his Fender signature Strats, which were inspired by those historic originals. This Strat features a C-shaped neck, nitro finish, Seymour Duncan STK-S10 pickups, and a scalloped maple fretboard strung with Fender Yngwie Malmsteen strings (.008–.046).
