Listen. I get that $175,000 is expensive for a guitar. But what if you got a free Ferrari with it?
Miami-based shop Walt Grace Vintage is selling Yngwie Malmsteen's #4 Fender Stratocaster for the above price with a totally free 1983 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole thrown in. Though "free" is an interesting word considering $175,000 is probably the cost of both the guitar and the car combined, but whatever – that's the marketing route they're taking here.
"Here's your chance to own an iconic piece of rock history: Yngwie Malmsteen's legendary #4 Fender Stratocaster, one of his main guitars known for shaping his unmistakable neoclassical sound," wrote Walt Grace Vintage of the ax.
"This guitar has seen stages around the world and holds the magic of Malmsteen's fast-paced, virtuosic playing. But that’s not all — this unbelievable deal also includes Yngwie's personal 1983 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole, a stunning classic car synonymous with the rock star's lifestyle. Own not only a piece of music history but also a slice of automotive greatness."
The good news here is that there's free shipping! How you'll receive both the car and the guitar isn't clear, but that's also not my problem – I don't have $175,000 to be throwing around right now. Or ever. All I ask is that this one doesn't go to some lame-ass blues lawyer somewhere. Please, someone buy this thing and make some sweet Shrapnel Records-styled shred.
