YNGWIE MALMSTEEN Parts Ways With DiMarzio?
November 5, 2009, 14 years ago
It seems that the long love affair with Dimarzio has ended for guitarist YNGWIE MALMSTEEN.
All Yngwie signature merchandise, including the DiMarzio YJM Signature Guitar Cable and YJM Guitar Strap, have been removed from the DiMarzio website and neither the YJM HS-3 or HS-4 pickups have his audio samples uploaded anymore.
The YJM pickup is now known as the "HS-4".
Additionally, Dimarzio archived new events on their site as it related to Yngwie have been removed.
Stay tuned for further updates on this situation.
