The Duck - 1972 "Play
Loud" Strat
Yngwie's most well-known guitar is his 1972 blond Strat, known as
"Play Loud" or "The Duck" (because of the stickers on the body). Bought in
Sweden when he was a teenager, this guitar has been with Yngwie from the start
of his career, and is the one he has used most onstage and in the studio.
It is his most photographed guitar, and was the subject of Guitar
World magazine's poster feature [photo by Anne Petty] in their August 1994
issue. |

Malmsteen Solid
Body
| This
one of a kind guitar was made for Yngwie in the U.S. Fender Custom Shop. It has
the standard Malmsteen Signature neck and body, but it is actually a
nylon-string solid-body classical guitar. That's why you don't see any control
knobs on the body! Yngwie describes the tone of this guitar as especially
sweet, and it will replace the Chet Atkins Gibson classical that was
stolen. |
