The String
Here they are—Yngwie’s Strings!!!

So many of you have been asking us at Dean Markley Strings, “When are you going to make Yngwie's sets available to us?” Well the long-awaited strings are now available.

Yngwie has put in an enormous amount of work over many years to get to the “top of his game” with his playing. Yet he has generously allowed us to let his fans know and purchase the same set of strings he uses to perform his magic.

Yngwie performs his special, blazing-solo magic with two of our sets, custom made for him and called appropriately, Yngwie's Magic. Both sets have Yngwie's projectile end. The difference between the two sets is the low E string.

Also available to his many fans are the same exact two sets, but using the overwhelmingly popular ball end. Hence these sets are called Yngwie's Ball End.

Yngwie recognizes that not everyone can adapt to the special gauge he uses, and he wants to support the talents of his ever growing number of dedicated fans. So for fans who want to develop a style similar to his neoclassical style, but who can't quite master his unique gauge, Yngwie has suggested two alternate, more standard gauges. These sets have slightly heavier strings than Yngwie uses. These are our Yngwie Approved sets.

Yngwie's strings were manufactured to Yngwie's personal specifications for that maximum speed, tone, and playability he demands from his strings. Their special core-to-wrap ratios and custom gauging are especially suited for fast solos and incredible tone and sustain. They are constructed from the highest quality nickel steel available, and offer world class performance—set after set. These incredible strings were custom made for an incredible player. If you like Yngwie's masterful style, you're going to love these strings!


Yngwie's Tuning
“I tune my guitar down a half-step to Eb—that's because I like the chunkier sound it gives to the Strat. You can play melodic minor scales over the song with good effect.” More…

The Experience
The stage lights dim. The fog machine starts to hum. The lasers burn through the fog and the spotlight hits your with the force of a lightning flash. Time to rock……….  The drummer clicks it off and your guitar roars like an angered Tyrannosaurus. More…
