MALMSTEENS FENDER GUITAR

[led zep maniack]

Just want to know if anybody owns a y.malmsteen fender stratocaster with the scalloped neck im intrested in getting one. Also the price range for one is in the 1500 range any feedback would be appreciated thanks.

Never played one but I would imaging the scalloped neck would take some getting used to, and you should only get one if you seriously want it for your style of playing - not just because you want to be like Yngwie

I've played with a scalloped neck before, I didn't like it at all.

All players are different though, they're good if you have a light touch with your fretting hand as its very easy to play the notes sharp with a scalloped board.

It makes sweep picking easier, but if you can already sweep pick on a normal guitar, you don't really need a scalloped board, yet if you can't sweep pick, having the scalloped board won't make it any easier to pick up.

I have a Jem 7VWH, yeah, The Steve Vai guitar. It has scalloped frets from 17(or so) up and that really helps for bending and playing those high positions.
