I have one of those in Burgandy Mist. Hands down no comparison between the CS version and the American made. Different neck feel, playability is almost effortless, no regrets at all.
None of the Malmsteen Custom Shops (Vintage White, Burgundy Mist, Candy Apple Red, Sonic Blue) have a written review on Sweetwater’s website. Please post one.
The attention to finishing detail is definitely superb especially the neck and the scolloping, I’ve owned 4 different Custom Shop Nocaster and 3 Stratocaster’s and were all brilliantly made guitars , only one Nocaster was a heavy relic and the rest were of a slight relic. What I’ve always thought about though when I look back is , why does it take a master luthier at both Fender and Gibson Custom Shop to automatically build period accurate guitars from the 50’s etc and nit just the relic work but attention to detail on carves , binding and colour of binding etc of guitars that pretty much were built by factory workers and back in the 50’s the guitars were all slightly different in neck profiles and contours ? Yep those desirable and extremely expensive guitars were all just factory guitars but now it takes a master luthier to build them ? What can’t north Fender and Gibson just build them accurately given modern machinery and technology just build either a relic or NOS version at the relevant price those original guitars were sold for in the 50’s
I've wanted to hear those YJM pickups clean. Most reviewers go the the overdriven shred mode because Yngwie. A little Eric Johnson clean chording. The pickups sound very stratty in a good way in all the positions.
My guess is that Fender wanted to stay as true as possible to Yngwie's originals. Edit: I think Yngwie's originals had the slightly unstable 3 bolt neck plate. Maybe for playability's sake, this one has the standard 4 bolt plate.
It's amazing malmsteen never experimented with radius and pickup configurations since day one
Great. Just looking at the fretboard alone said,as you put it,next level Custom Shop.
Thanks for sharing your new guitar day!! Sounds amazing!!!
Something ASMR about these reviews

11:18 I don't understand, what is rare about the string spacing?
It’s rare on the yjm model as described in the video.
Not for me. Gloss poly on the neck ruins it. And why the vintage trust rod?

@@finishin.my.coffee8780that’s exactly it.
It’s actually awesome. It’s very thin and wears off after about 50 hours and feels fantastic.
