The guitar tone/volume just dies so badly!
How does yngwie do those nice loud squeals on the upper frets?????!!? :blink: :blink: :( :( <_< <_< :huh: :huh: :unsure:

Check your pickups aren't too close to your strings when you fret higher notes. If they are this can cause the magnetic field to pull on the strings and hence stop them vibrating to the extent that they should be.

To add to what ID said, have a guitar tech check out the guitar...it may have a loose/high fret that needs to be addressed or maybe even a full grind and polish/fret level.
A properly set up guitar should not "choke" off the notes, anyplace on the neck....and there should be no noticeable difference in volume either IMO....

also depends on how your left had is actually feeling the bend and what pups and amp you're using.

I think the scalloped frets help with the 'squeals' at higher frets on Mr Malmsteen's guitars
I assume your not talking about poinched harmonics becuase thats something completely different.. in fact Yngwie does not do a great deal of harmonics in any form. The Scalloped frets mainly help with vibrato which helps to keep the string vibrating especially a wide vibrato like yngwie's
Generally there should not be a great deal of difference in pure volume
between the frets. You might wanna make sure that your strings are not slightly choking on the higher frets... just a thought.

I checked when strings are completely new, those notes are enhanced, but when they just start getting old, they soon lost brilliance, sooner than other notes.

tube amps,digital preamps are crap.
All line6 digital preamps have that problem as an example and some of them even gives to your guitar signal a weird high frequencies vibrato. :blink:

ok, I guess I'll push the question a little harder...
how do you get just a little more sustain on your last fret high e? without a ton of overdrive I'd like to hear that note ring just a little more than an entire second.
fret buzz isn't the culprit, so what is the right fretted string->pickup pole distance?
