Yngwie Malmsteen: Why I HATE The FLOYD ROSE & HUMBUCKERS!
During a conversation with Guitarist Magazine, Yngwie Malmsteen took aim at the renowned Floyd Rose vibrato arm, calling it a "horrible" piece of equipment.
The guitarist said:
"I wouldn't use a Floyd. They're horrible. What they do is cut the neck off at the nut. All the harmonic response is in the headstock of an electric guitar. Anyway, I never understood why you would need one. My Strats don't go out of tune."
Yngwie continued by sharing his disdain of humbucker pickups, saying:
"I don't like humbuckers, either. I like the single-coil but stacked. With a traditional humbucker, the definition of the note becomes more muddy. That's because of its 'magnetic window.'
"A single-coil pickup's magnetic window picks up less of the string, so has more accuracy but it hums a lot. If you stack the coils you get no hum.
"Gibson-style pickups are often hotter, and what happens then is you muddy the original source of the sound. My pickups are not so hot that you have a distorted signal.
"It then goes to my Fender pedal that I designed. That boosts the signal up to my Marshall, that I designed, which is a regular 1959 Super Lead, really."
