Yngwie Malmsteen buys a Vintage Fender 1963 Stratocaster

Yngwie Malmsteen the shredding king, this video clip looks like it was back in the 90's in London's famous guitar street, Denmark Street London in Andy's guitars. The start of the clip has Yngwie talking about music and singers he's worked with etc, if you skip to around 2 minutes 40 seconds you'll see him buy a vintage guitar for £3500, which was alot in those days, he test out the vintage Fender Stratocaster 1963Fiesta Red, plays a few licks, and tries to haggle. The seller probably knows it's Yngwie Malsteen buying soo doesn't budge in his price. You'll see how Yngwie respects the guitar like a true guitar rock n' roll legend would do at the end of the clip when you see how he carefull places it in his car after he leaves.

Enjoy the clip
