Cool Guitar

I always love to see reeeeally cool guitars...and this one is wild! Man, that's some incredible woodwork! This guitar was handcrafted at Ed Roman Guitars in Las Vegas for Swedish born shredder superstar Yngwie Malmsteen.

It has recently come to light that this unbelievable one of a kind piece of art was handmade as a tribute and present for Yngwie Malmsteen!
This guitar was displayed at the NAMM show a few years ago, Ed saw it there, and having a penchant for odd guitars took photos of it at that time. There the story of this unique instrument takes an odd twist. The guitar was then sent to Miami for Yngwie, but It was never claimed. Because it was not claimed (for whatever strange reason, possibly he was on tour), it was impounded and then bought at a very dear price at auction.
The new owner contacted Ed a couple of years ago to sell the guitar. He described the guitar to Ed. When Ed told him he had a picture of it on the website already he was quite surprised and immediately knew that Ed would be the right person to sell this fine one of a kind collectors dream instrument !
