Feature:
The scalloped neck is killer!! Just beautiful. The brass nut adds some class. The pickups set it apart from other strats. They add a very strong tone....they rip! Workmanship was impecable.

Quality:
Th workmanship is perfect. This guitar is as solid as they get. This guitar will last forever. The only problem I have is....I'm not a huge fan of fender tremolos, but I new that already. I didn't buy it to do crazy wammy tricks.

Value:
The best strat for the money .....by far. This is the only strat I would buy.

Desirability:
This is extremely sexy. It's like a beautiful, classy woman, who is also very intelligent.

Sound:
This guitar sounds awesome. The pickups are incredible. The tone is great for shredding leads! The guitar actually adds clarity to my playing.

Ease of Use:
It took a bit to get used too. Well....It just wasn't as easy as my Ibanez Prestiges, which are made for speed. Once you pass the new feel, you will fall in love. It plays beautifully. I have no problem with the scallopes....they give tremendous control, and are great for bends and vibrato.

Support:
You won't even need to call them. Nothings going wrong on this guitar.

Overall:
This is exactly what I wanted when I bought this guitar. Its beautiful, finely crafted, and will add to your playing. 2 grand is nothing, when you will have a guitar for life.

Feature:
Bottom line, this is the best strat you can get!

Quality:
Perfect craftsmanship, the only thing that I didn't like was the loose spring where the tremolo bar goes, whats up with that??

Value:
Big bang for your buck

Desirability:
I really could care less what color it is or shape, as long as it plays and looks professional, thats the key.

Sound:
Sounds like a true neo-classical guitar. I have way more clarity with the YJM Strat, when Im speeding along my songs. But I would like to Add I'm not using a marshall(never really been a fan of them). I personnally use a Crate practice amp and a Boss ME-20 for my recording.

Ease of Use:
Plays amazing, the scalloped neck is hard to get used to, but I,ve picked it up fast, because my Ibanez RG series has jumbo frets and needs a light touch, overrall the sound very versatile for single pickups.

Support:
no problems yet, but I will call them soon if i cant find help on making adjustments, I ain't no guitar tech.

Overall:
This is it, my skills took a step back when i first got the guitar but now they are moving in a clearer and more creative turn. I will diffenetly use this guitar to record with, play live shows, great guitar. Never thought I would ever play on one but now I own it!!

Feature:
I dig the scalloped fingerboard, while not for everyone, I enjoy the control it gives you over every note you pick, and that is why I like it. The rest is Fender standards, three single-coil pickups, two tone-controls, yada, yada, yada.

Quality:
A 9 because I love Fender, but they don't compare to Gibson. Fender has high quality instruments, and you'd expect that from this guitar.

Value:
You get what you pay for, and this one is worth it if you have the touch it takes to play it.

Desirability:
I have to give Yngwie some credit, he has good taste in colors, I love the candy red and sonic blue, but not so much on vintage white. I good-looking instrument.

Sound:
Sound is what you'd expect from a Fender, it has that nice bright tone signature only to Fender.

Ease of Use:
I give it an 8 because not everyone has the touch that it takes to play a scalloped fingerboard. But the scallops for me gives me so much control it's unrealistic. It should be noted scalloped frets do NOT make you play faster. For me, next to my Gibson, this is one of the easier ones I've played.

Support:
Fender has a great warranty service, and are extremely helpful to their customers

Overall:
This one deserves an 8 because like I said, for some people, they don't have the touch it takes to play this instrument. It has a different feel to it and is a little awkward if you haven't played a scalloped fret. Overall, it's a well-built, good-quality instrument for players wanting more control over their notes.

Quality:
Built nice.

Value:
I don't think I would have payed this much.

Desirability:
Its an Yngwie strat, everyone wants it, but its not that great.

Sound:
It has an average Fender sound... nothing special about it.

Ease of Use:
its a guitar

Overall:
Yngwie is my favorite guitarist ever, but I don't respect his choice of guitars, scalloped fretboard makes it awkward, bending is different, harder to control, but harder to miss at the same time. The tone is not versatile, err, I dunno, I think Yngwie could do way better.
