- This video is to address an issue I’ve seen many people complain about with the Yngwie Malmsteen signature Stratocaster. 
Pretty much any guitar that the string slips off of the fretboard this should fix. I have noticed this with the Indonesian made Steve Vai floral JEM as well. Very frustrating and makes you not want to play your instrument live in front of people.  - เพลง
It's not only the high E, it's the whole string spacing. The guitar has a narrow neck and a wide tremolo. The only solution that will fix everything is the callaham vintage narrow tremolo. Puut it on my 2018 malmsteen strat and oh boy, MASSIVE difference.
Excellent reply! I was wondering that myself. Thank you 🙏I’ll have to look into that.
Gotoh I'm sure makes tremolos with narrow spacing for import guitars, a cheaper option too
Thanks, this drives me CRAZY!
Great! Thanks
How interesting. That’s a new hack for me! Since I don’t have my YJM anymore, I’m playing my neck through body, but I will remember this one for my grandnephew. He’s a beginner. BTW, I think mine had the same high E slippage problem when I bought it in 2004, but like I mentioned, it took half a year to adjust anyway, so being more careful was probably part of the adjustment. I feel better knowing that you had experience with a scalloped fretboard, because your playing was already masterful on it. You understood the light touch technique already. Thanks for mentioning that in this video. Most players don’t really understand, and I know it took me by surprise. Later
Thank you for your compliment, John. I agree that it can be disheartening to witness someone effortlessly excel in an area where one has invested significant effort. Adapting to this situation was a learning process for me. However, using a non-slipping string necessitated minimal adjustments to my technique, primarily focusing on refining my touch on the guitar for lighter and more precise playing. With practice, I found that my proficiency improved, resulting in a better overall sound 🤘🎸
I did this but it didn’t work. It helped, but the high e still slips and the low e is pretty close now. I am getting a new bridge put on.
I have heard that the bridge will certainly make a difference. It improved my guitar by about 90%. However, it doesn't quite compare to the experience I have with my scalloped Ibanez, where the string never slips and feels consistently great. Unfortunately, there seems to be a design flaw with this one.
Fender is so ignorant that they have not fixed this? No way am I going to spend 2k and have to deal with this.
definitely frustrating as hell to deal with and I agree they need to fix this for that price.
