Time for another mod project and another artist tribute model. This time, I'm turning a Squier Affinity Strat into an Yngwie Malmsteen Strat, with a scalloped fingerboard, of course. I still plan to upgrade the pickups to Yngwie's signature ones, but that’s another video. Hope you guys like the process of fitting the neck, leveling the frets, and my mediocre attempt at my favorite Yngwie song. #guitar #yngwiemalmsteen #fender #fenderstratocaster
