Yngwie Malmsteen UK in-store appearances anounced

[punchingboy]

Here's mine from G3 2003. Kind of funny. He's dedicated, to say the least.

Cool! Who wrote "Hi Steve"?

[punchingboy]

That was Yngwie with an arrow to Steve. That's kind of cool.

Doesn't seem hard to guess what Fender is planning here, is it?
I'd love one of these, as much if not more than an EVH replica...
But somehow, I doubt I could afford it...

[Ibateur]

Lemme guess! Lemme guess!

It will be a relic'ed creamy colored strat, with a maple neck, scalloped fretboard (also maple). Am I right? Am I right?

It will be priced for "malmsteen connoiseurs" and only 16 will be built. One for each letter of his name. Some would argue that the dot after the J should count for one, so let's say 17. I just couldn't think of anything to decide how many they're building.

I would certainly want one as well, over every other official relic'ed guitar. I could probably only afford a pickguard screw.

*yawn* The only relic project I really took an interest in was the SRV Number 1 strat. So all these relics are now boring to me.

But I guess the EVH and now Malmsteen are no different

his signiture on mine looks like some kid has scribbled on my headstock (looks terrible).i wonder its cos he remembered me from last time when i stole his ciggys n lighter hehehehe

I met him at the Sheffield Carling Academy in the morning, I asked him for a pic and he just said 'You must be very quick... I have things to attend to', then walked off casually to the venue. Apparently he was talking to members of staff in 3rd person and calling himself 'Mr Malmsteen'.



Legend.

[rob777vdy]

no pics were allowed at the necastle store.and he would only sign one item per person,to be fair though he did look a bit tired.

[Batchimp RG]

He must be quite a piece of work when he wants to be....but I would seriously like to have a VIP ticket with YJM just like the ones PG is doing...

It might get a bit loud sitting that close to a wall of Marshalls though
