Here's YNGWIE MALMSTEEN's latest Strat eBay auction:

"Natural finish Fender Stratocaster Guitar, This guitar is an extremely early 1970's model with a scalloped maple neck, The neck is a three bolt neck, not converted over to the four bolt neck as are most of Yngwie's current guitars.The instrument has Yngwie's old school mods as the pickups in the bridge and neck are HS-3's Dimarzio's and a stock vintage Fender Strat pick up in the middle. The pick up screws are countersunk and the tremolo block is one piece diecast (early/rare) Yngwie personally has owned and played this instrument in the studio and in concerts throughout the world and there are many photos in publications around showing him playing this instrument. One of the photos in this listing shows a young Yngwie pointing skywards in front of his Marshall stacks, this photo of Yngwie playing the listed instrument was taken in 1983 during the ALCATRAZZ era. The photograph of Yngwie in the leather jacket was taken of him playing the listed instrument on June 30, 1984 at The Pier in New York City on his twenty- first birthday.

This instrument is is like all the instruments that Yngwie owns, a balls to the wall rip snorting instrument of mass destruction! The few minor battle scars are all evidence of previous wars! It is a used instrument in good condition and it plays well (set up to Yngwie's specs). I am not a guitar expert but will try to answer your questions if you ask them early. Please limit them to the listed instrument as I will have to ask Yngwie if I do not know. Please look carefully as the instrument is beautiful natural wood finish in very good condition, it is a Malm driven machine and it is what it is and what you see. I can ask him to autograph it if you wish. It will come with an Yngwie signed letter of authenticity and a photo of him signing this letter. The starting bid is very low and the instrument may be sold locally as there are several music stores and collectors that have expressed great interest, along with a well known restaurant chain. It is because of this that I am reserving the right to end this auction early.

This guitar, per The Malm, is the brother of The Duck, they were the main two staples of Yngwie's guitars. Yngwie bought this guitar in Sweden at the "Music Borsen" pre his U.S. days in 1978. Yngwie had originally scalloped the neck personally, then later had Larry Lashbrook his personal luthier re-scallop it again and refrett with Dunlop jumbos. This guitar was the one that Yngwie used in the original demo tape recording of 'Black Star' that was sent to Mike Varney of Guitar Player magazine in late 1981. This demo tape when heard is what resulted in Yngwie coming to the U.S. and the guitar listed was used extensively as his main axe along with The Duck during the Alcatrazz and the early RISING FORCE days."
