OH MY JESSUS.
go buy the Yngwie Malmsteen Dean Malarky Strings NOW.
put them on a strat and they make it SING.
they make my old junkie squire sound like a new beast, and there yngwie aproved lol.
list, Yngwie Has: Custom fender guitar line, custom dimarzio pickups, custom dean strings, custom playing style, custom effects.
CAN IT GET BETTER THAN THAT?

(they come in slightly thicker 9's as well)
i got the 9s.
oh, and i bought an actual distortion pedal, its DigiTech DEATHMETAL PEDAL.
strangely it dosn't like the Hums on my Ibanez but it screams right along with the strat's single coils. Even gives the strat a boomy bass that it dosn't get through the Prosesser.
