Yngwie Malmsteen’s famous #4 Fender Stratocaster, one of his main guitars throughout his career, is now for sale for $175,000. But here’s the catch: the buyer will also get Malmsteen’s personal 1983 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole.
“This guitar is a significant piece of rock history, directly connected to one of the greatest guitarists of all time,” said a representative from Walt Grace Vintage, the company handling the sale.
“It’s known for shaping his unmistakable neoclassical sound, has seen stages around the world and holds the magic of Malmsteen’s fast-paced, virtuosic playing,” they added.
The vintage white Strat has an alder body and, like Malmsteen’s other guitars, features a scalloped maple fretboard with 21 jumbo frets. It also comes with a 6-Saddle American Vintage synchronized tremolo bridge and Seymour Duncan YJM Fury STK-S10B pickups—Malmsteen’s own signature pickups.
But the guitar isn’t the only highlight in this deal. The Ferrari has a powerful 3.8-liter V8 engine and tan leather seats and it has also been in the spotlight. When Malmsteen wasn’t driving it, the car made its way into movies like ‘Magnum P.I.,’ ‘National Lampoon’s Vacation,’ and ‘Beverly Hills Cop.’
The listing is still available, but the guitar is likely to sell soon.
