I've never heard negative comments about YJM Strats' scalloping work. All the big closeup pics I've seen have shown fantastic scalloping quality...
Im not saying that theyre bad at all Jaakko, I just like what warmoth does, theyre deep and very uniform...

New ones (´07->) have very nice deep and uniform scallops for what I've seen in pics! During few years before that they made lighter scallops where the middle part was more flat. I know you knew this, Kage. :)

The newer Necks are a bit thin compared to previous models Dave, I dont like fat necks but Im not a big fan of thin either...

Anthony can back me up on this

The older ones must have been serious 59 radius cause the 08 model I played had some back, scallopes pretty deep as well. Then again that was the first Yngwie that I have played.

Ok, using my old MIM strat,

$250-270 Yngwie loaded pickguard
$225 or so CBS reverse headstock neck

$700 for a Yngwie clone saving over $900 :rock:

Yngwie Strats sell for under $1000 used sometimes but usually they're in the 1000-1200 range. All you have to do is convince the seller how gay Yngwie is and that he shouldn't be seen playing that wankers model :lol: :LOL: I think i may save for another one.

I have to buy a plexi type amp this year so the funds are rather thin already for 2009, dumpster diving will be at its fullest this year :lol: :LOL:

the older models prior to 07' had a more of a comfortable "C"shape vs. the newer ones feel like slimmer "U" shape model. The difference being the chunky C shape modeled after a early 70's era vs, late 60's U shape. They still play great regardless. I think the fact that the newer ones have a deeper scallop make the neck appear thinner.

YOur right, it was more of a U but not thin. Really comfortable really and the scallopes were deep. I really thought my fingers would be diving under the strings but they were not and riffing was great. Can't believe it took this long to try one.

Your family is going to hate you. I gave up on using a Plexi when i was playing out in clubs in the 90's. Soundmen hated me :D

I quote David ( Ben Stiller )Starsky .."Do It, Do it " ; )
 
I'll recommend Smooth Grooves from Ebay. He did my Squier neck, and it turned out great. He even leveled, beveled, and polished the frets, as well as give me new abalone inlays, for free.

I had a 2001 YJM Strat, sold it because of that, was almost as bad as the balsa superstrat at the Cameron booth last year, I could have fit the entire credit card machine in that gap. I have a great sounding '98 California Strat in vintage white, had 6000 frets put on it, bought a loaded Yngwie Pickguard on ebay, perfect for me.


pics or it didn't happen :yes:
