My wife let me pull the pin on a Malmsteen, so I called and ordered one a few weeks ago. Amazingly, Fender had in stock what I wanted (in terms of color and fingerboard wood). After quick shipping and a stop for a set-up, here's what I unpacked this morning:

The scallops are deeper on the '07's:

I have another scalloped Fender, a MIJ Blackmore from 1997. Surprisingly, the Yngwie is almost exactly the same weight despite the Blackmore being basswood and only having 2 pickups:

And lastly, a shot with another shred-style Fender, a black HM Strat that didn't photograph well:

Now I'm just waiting for an Analogman OD-250 to complete the picture.
