The NOS lacquer treatment keeps the finish clean and factory-fresh, while the scalloped maple fingerboard, brass nut, oversized frets, and YJM Fury pickups deliver the unmistakable Malmsteen specification. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe body is two-piece select alder with the signature Malmsteen arm contour, belly cut, and body radii. Sonic Blue nitrocellulose lacquer gives this Custom Shop build a less common look than the traditional Vintage White associated with the model, while the three-ply Eggshell pickguard and chrome\/nickel hardware keep the presentation classic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe maple neck uses Malmsteen’s C-shaped profile, measuring .790\" at the first fret and .856\" at the 12th. Its round-laminated scalloped maple fingerboard has a 9.5\" radius, 21 Super Jumbo frets, and a 1.620\" brass nut. The scalloped board is the defining feature here, reducing finger contact with the wood and giving bends and vibrato the distinctly controlled feel Malmsteen’s guitars are known for. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA trio of Seymour Duncan YJM Fury pickups handles the electronics, with dedicated neck\/middle and bridge versions. They’re paired with a five-way selector, master volume, and traditional two-tone-control Strat layout, with the bridge pickup left out of the tone circuit. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVintage-style synchronized tremolo hardware, Schaller “F” tuning machines, Dunlop flush-mount strap locks, Yngwie’s light-gauge
