I like how they pack the unbreakable guitar with 6 inches+ of high density foam because we all know shipping companies find ways to break anything...

[lokmankamal]

if yngwie can't break it..give it to airline, they know how

Sandvik made a les paul guitar that doesn't break at the headstock.

Gibson: Am i a joke to you?

[frgproductions]

Cool and all but a Les Paul body with Strat pickup configuration deeply unsettles me

[Rabrand]

Man that guitar is a masterpiece. The craftmenship doesn't get honerd by smashing it.

Fantastic! Sandvik isn't a guitar factury and has built such an amazing instrument! You should build more!!!Congratulations!!! I'm a Luthier from Brazil and a great Malmsteen fan! Now I'm Sandvik fan too!!!

[aWildJosh]

So, you’re telling me that if I buy this, I could throw it around all I want without breaking it?!

Finally a guitar that I can trust my friends with!

[deftmarkmachineryequipment]

Whoever caught that guitar thrown in the audience must be stoked! Hard to imaging they would really just give a one of a kind masterpiece away like that. That guitar belongs in a museum.

oh dear god... yngwie actually looks like an 80 year old grandma.

I've been smashing the same Pacifica up for 10 years and its still fine, you just have to look after it. It's had 6 new necks and 3 new bodies

Nice show but to much Hollywood. The guitar may be very durable indeed, but that Marshall 4x12 cabinet surely was fake, it broke like it was made of paper without speakers, baffle and back instead of 19mm plywood with all the contents, if the cabinet were real the guitar would likely have bounced off. Fake or empty cabinets are often used as stage props to make up these walls of Marshalls.

Marketing done with inteligence and in an unusual way: Congratulations, you guys taught a lesson to all other companies in how to advertise in a fun and different way, we need more ideas like this in the World !

I just played one of those axes. (I think they made 3 or 4.)

You'll need a seriously wide/strong strap for it.
The frets are part of the overall piece of steel....so no way to replace any of them.
There was some fret-buzz on the 1st and 2nd fret area.
I did not plug-in.
Again, you really feel the neck-heaviness of this axe as soon as you pick it up.
If you let go of the neck, down she goes.
As I held-up the guitar with one hand I could feel it sliding down my hand.

[mariomatovina]

I simply can't have respect for a musician who smashes their instrument

[samirisku]

Why a Les Paul shape? For Yngwie it should have been a Strat! :D

amazing idea to promote a company, congratulations. The video production is top notch

[yattalog]

Man, I really would want to have someday a guitar like this!!!

[memphis]

Research specialist: "We would like to show that steel can be very strong and light at the same time..."
Manufacturing engineer: "The material we chose is titanium..." LMAO

[sinajany]

As someone who doesn't quite like LPs, I think that beast is absolutely lovely!!!!😍🤘🏼⚡

[mikedervos]
