Should I get an YM Strat instead of RG8?

Guitarwizard · 09-12-2007, 06:40 AM

Originally, I was pretty shure I would buy a RG8 as soon as I have the money, but I just played an Yngwie Signature Strat and I found it fuckin' awesome.... The price is about the same...

So here's the deal:

I can't use both of these guitars in my band, I play my 7 there. It would be just for homerecording and having fun.

I really love the low F#, but I don't NEED it. It would be just fun... I don't really NEED the scalloped frets, neither..

What would you guys do?

Probably, I should go for an 8-String, full scalloped custom strat

That 8 string scalloped Strat is great idea. With this price you can have this custom guitar

That would really be one hellofa guitar!

Get a YJM strat, those kick ass.

+1 on the scalloped 8, but given the other two options I'd probably go for the Malmsteen strat personally.

I had a USA Yngwie Strat for about a year or so not so long ago, it was a 2003 model. Very nice guitar, if a bit of an aquired taste. But because you have played one and you know you like it you should be okay, so I say go with the Yngwie. Their re-sale value sucks ass though, so if it's a new one your buying make sure you like it. Either that or buy 'used'. I see the Yngwie Strats going for very reasonable prices on Evilbay all the time.

They are awesome though!
