Fender Kyle McMillin Masterbuilt '57 Stratocaster Wildwood Spec - USA 2022

Kyle McMillin is an exceptional Master-builder at the Fender Custom Shop, and it is our experience that his Masterbuilt guitars, and Strats in particular, are becoming more and more sought after. And for good reason - if you can get a chance to lay your hands on this one, you’ll understand why. 

This guitar features a nitro-cellulose lacquered, two-piece ash body with offset glue seam, and one-piece slight “V”-shape flame maple neck. The finish and body contours match the original '57 Strat we have in store exactly. One of the many positive features of this Strat includes its weight, weighing in at 2.92kg / 6.44lb, its one of the lightest and most responsive Strats we've had here at Premier Guitars.

This Strat is loaded with three hand-wired Wildwood 10 pickups, the result is classic Stratocaster bell-like tones with that wonderful woody character from the neck pickup and plenty of snarl from the bridge pickup. The control knobs roll effortlessly, but still have enough resistance to smoothly operate with your pinky if that’s your thing. 

While showing playing wear is the whole point of this light relic Strat, the guitar has actually hardly been played at all. There is next to no fretwear, but the feel and sound of this thing is that of an old instrument – as close as you can get the real thing without having to take out an extra mortgage. 

Sale includes a bunch of unopened case candy including ashtray, cleaning cloth, tags, Fender strap and Certificate of Authenticity signed by Kyle McMillin. 

Comes in its original Fender case in excellent condition.
