A note on identification. Occasionally a Japanese model will sneak in, too. Models produced by Fender Japan, regardless of how you feel about them, are less valuable than the US versions, with bodies made from basswood as opposed to the traditional alder of the US versions and generally worse scallop jobs. Up close you can often see quickie, machine-style scallops in their fretboards; a shallower cut that does not reach all the way from one fret to the next, but rather creates a small trench in the wood between flat, unscalloped ledges.

Fender US Malmsteen necks have a more detailed, hand-finished look to them, with each scallop rounded out individually from fret wire to fret wire; no flat ledges. The original 88 version is quite distant from what Yngwie plays today, with its little round neck, thin vintage frets, two-point trem etc. However, what bugged me about it was the way truss rod adjustments could only be made at the heel.

That meant removing the neck for every adjustment.
