November 28, 2008 marks the release of the Fender’s Yngwie Malmsteen Tribute Series Stratocaster, a.k.a. the “Play Loud,” guitar. The instrument is a meticulous recreation of the infamous and battle-hardened 1971 Stratocaster guitar that fueled Malmsteen’s meteoric rise to metal stardom, complete with heavily worn Olympic white finish, scalloped fingerboard and distinctive scars of fury.
