``THE STRAT``
Heavyharms 14.01.2021
Close to perfect.

The setup right out of the box, could have been better. The intonation was off, quite a bit.
A new set of strings and a setup made it play like butter.

The fretwork is excellent. Huge wide jumbo frets, built for speed.
It has a vintage wide spaced tremolo. So control your vibrato, its easy to slip right of the fretboard, on the light E string above the 12th fret. I got used to it quickly and it does not bother me at all.

Some cracks in the paintjob under the tremolo unit, and also a small crack in the paint in the neck joint on the lower horn.

The pickups sound great. The neck is really stratty, and the brigde is also on when the toneknob is on 10. Turn the tone knob to 5, and your in low output humbucker territory. You can hammer it with distortion, and it still has amazing clarity.

It comes with a beatiful tweed case, COA, leopard strap with straplocks, and some case candy.

It`s not a custom shop, but it is damn close.

A technique-building instrument
_Lele_ 27.06.2022
The first day I absolutely hated this guitar. The high-E kept sliding off and the action was way too high (even after adjustment), nearly unplayable. Everything came out sounding bad and awkward so I naturally blamed the guitar of course :)

Then I packed it up for return and left it there. After 2-3 days I gave it another try and realised what should have been evident from the very beginning: my technique was just not good enough for this, and the high-E string was sliding off because I was inadvertently pulling slightly sideways, i.e. something I never noticed on other guitars but that I needed to address.

As for string action, I realised that if Yngwie manages to play that fast and clean with high action it means it IS possible, it’a once again a matter of getting the technique good enough to do it. So I kept practicing until I got that sorted.

Eventually I kept this guitar with the intention of improving my technique to be able to play it correctly it and it has helped me loads. Sometimes having a “difficult” instrument is what you need to highlight flaws and start working on them. Had the same on some 58’ Gibsons which had a “baseball bat” neck which initially gave me cramps while playing fast but that was what I needed to finally loosen up my grip.

So, this is not an “easy” guitar and not really intended for beginners but if you want to have something more challenging that can really highlight your flaws and improve your technique, this is it. Personally, I love it.

Rising Force
Anonymous 29.04.2016
Diese Gitarre setzt Kräfte in dir frei, von denen du vorher nicht einmal wußtest, dass sie in dir schlummern.
Je länger du sie spielst, umso mehr merkst du wie die "Kraft in dir aufsteigt, Daher die Überschrift "Rising Force".
Der ausgefräste Hals dieser Gitarre ist einzigartig. Es gibt kein zweites Productionmodell mit diesem Feature.
Die Blackmore-Strat kommt weder in Sachen Qualität noch Tiefe der Ausfräsung hin, schließlich ist sie in Mexico gefertigt, die Malmsteen in USA.

Die Malmsteen ist gnadenlos perfekt verarbeitet. Sie ist gebaut wie ein Panzer. Ganzklar unkaputtbar. Das Tremolo ist nahezu verstimmungsfrei. Mit ein bischen Gefühl beim Einsatz des Tremolos jedenfalls.

Kommen wir zu den Pick-Ups: Die neuen Seymour Duncan YJM sind um Klassen besser als die alten Di Marzios. Woher ich das weiß:
Ich habe früher 1995 - 2005 vier von den alten Malmsteens gespielt. Zu dieser Zeit habe ich nur Malmsteens gespielt.

Sie klingen vollkomen rund und ausgewogen. Sie lassen einen weichen CleanSound zu, geben aber auch die Möglichkeit knallharte Funklicks zu zelebrieren.
Überhaupt ist die Malmsteen alles andere als ein Onetrickpony. Völlig egal, welche Musik man spielt, die Malmsteen macht das mit. Aber Achtung: um das wirkliche Potential dieser Gitarre auszuloten, sollte man schon einige Jahre spielen. Als Anfängergitarre ist sie ungeeignet (Meine Meinung als jahrzehntelanger Gitarrenlehrer).

Ich mag den Malmsteen Gitarrenton übrigens überhaupt nicht. Davon sollte man sich nicht abschrecken lassen. Ihr könnt mit dieser Gitarre euren Sound so formen, wie ihr es wollt. Natürlich gibt es bauartbedingte Einschränkungen, Für alle die eine besondere Gitarre suchen, testen und am besten gleich kaufen,

Nach fünf Monaten habe ich mir noch eine zweite geholt. Man will ja auch mal in Eb spielen:-))

Disappointed...
ViCa 02.02.2020
For €2300, I was expected a great guitar... Unfortunately, I think something is wrong with the one I recieved. No matter how I adjusted the neck bow or string action, it just fret buzzed all over the neck and particularly on the 1st fret open G. :-(. I'm sending it back and hopefully get a new one without that problem.
update: 14.02.2020
As expected, I recieved a new one, the guitar doesn't have the problems I mentioned above!
