Description
You might not realize it from his music, but Yngwie Malmsteen is a vintage Strat(r) collector, and he swears by his 50s and 60s axes. He also swears by DiMarzio’s HS-3(tm), and he’s always wanted a vintage magnet-stagger version to go with his best guitars. While there is still a strong resemblance to the HS-3, the YJM(tm) has more presence and brilliance, particularly on the high strings, and still no 60-cycle hum. Yngwie uses it in the neck position of his main guitars, and it’s also the standard neck pickup on his signature model Strat.
