NEWS: Fender Yngwie 'Play Loud' strat

The long-awaited Fender Yngwie Malmsteen 'Play Loud' Stratocaster replica is thundering down the release pipeline. Fender has a website dedicated to this particular axe, which includes video of Yngwie seeing the first prototype replica for the first time.

Fender master builder John Cruz has replicated everything: Yngwie's cigarette burns, a bunch of deep grazes caused by using the guitar to hit cymbols, even bite marks from the Swedish virtuoso chomping down on the guitar (presumably for photo shoots but perhaps he was just hungry).

The Fender Yngwie Malmsteen 'Play Loud' Stratocaster is released November 24.
