Fender Stratocaster Yngwie Malmsteen | '06 - '08
Another model that does not pop up much on the market place out there. This is the popular Fender Stratocaster modeled over what we know as "The Duck", with a scalloped maple fretboard. It is his most famous Stratocaster, a 1972 blonde Stratocaster. Also featuring Dimarzio pickups and a brass nuts.
The nickname sticked around because of its yellow finish and the Donald Duck stickers it has on headstock. An alternative nickname for this guitar is "Play Loud" due to a sticker that Anders Johansson put on the upper horn of the guitar in Rockshire studios in 1984. Fender made 100 replica copies of this guitar and marketed it as the "Play Loud Guitar".
