That’s my dream strat…. I have wanted one for years…just never worked out. I almost scored a blackmore strat once but I couldn’t talk myself into it.

I may need the rosewood one now also.
I can honestly say my two YJM Strats (one rosewood, one maple) are my favorites. Removing wood lets the soundwaves radiate with less damping. Profit follows.
Took me a few weeks to adjust my touch to work with scallops, and made me a better player. Seems perfectly natural now.

I took right to it. No issue at all. Scalloped feels natural to me for some reason. Love itI can honestly say my two YJM Strats (one rosewood, one maple) are my favorites. Removing wood lets the soundwaves radiate with less damping. Profit follows.

How are finances? You need to get a Ferrari and Rolex now. Leather pants optional.

I actually really want one of these. I don’t think any other strat or guitar will scratch the itch. These are just so unique and specific. Congrats man.

Yea, if you are able snag one for sure. Its very unique but quite versatile also. It’s Not only for harmonic minor phrygian diminished stuff while doing high kicks and swinging guitar around the body

Had you played scalloped frets before? How are you finding that? And does it screw you ipnwhen you go back to non-scalloped?Yea, if you are able snag one for sure.

It doesnt bother me at all transitioning from one guitar to the other. I feel if you can play a regular fretboard with jumbo or superjumbo frets then there shouldnt be an issue with scalloped board
i know its all subjective but to me its like it was made for me. I like it!

There is a subtle extra degree of control over vibratro with scalloped guitars. And it takes a little more effort to play complex riffs/leads but feels (and sounds) very rewarding when you nail it.
My very rare Sonic Blue with DiMarzios:
These are SUPER easy to play. The more recent YJMs have much deeper scallops and require a bit more adjustment. The recent ones also have Dunlop 6000 Super Jumbo frets; I think earlier models were more like 6100 Jumbos.

This is exactly why we just send clips back and fourth with each other instead of posting for the public, cuz I cant either

If you ever want a long term challenge, try playing I Am A Viking all the way through with anything approaching the same tone/feel as Mr. Malmsteen. That will give you a greater appreciation for the depth of the man's talent, and only ~21 years old when he recorded it!

Having owned quite a few of these guitars through the years and currently I have one, I thought they sounded better with the Dimarzio HS-3 pickups.

Agreed! I myself am more fond of Yngwie’s older Dimarzio tones. Ive owned hs3 Dimarzios before in other guitars and they have more clarity and strat like sound to me. I do love the Duncan Fury but if I get another yjm strat it will have Dimarzios in it!
