Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt Kyle McMillin Floyd Stratocaster Purple Stain AAAA Quilt Maple (251)

This stunning Masterbuilt Stratocaster, crafted by Kyle McMillin, blends premium tonewoods, high-performance electronics, and a bold custom aesthetic into one unforgettable guitar. Built on a 2-piece alder body with a spectacular Quilt “4A” maple top, it’s finished in a Purple Stain with Black Burst urethane gloss that highlights the top’s dramatic figure and gives the guitar a sleek, aggressive presence.

Tonally, this Strat pushes boundaries with a versatile and powerful HSS pickup configuration: a Seymour Duncan TB4 humbucker in the bridge, paired with SSL-1 single coils in the middle and neck positions—all with white covers. The pickups are wired through Strat Modern electronics with a 5-way CRL switch, 250k 10% taper pots, and vintage-style white knobs, delivering everything from sparkling cleans to full-throated crunch.

The Custom Classic neck is carved from flame AAAA maple and topped with a dark ebony fingerboard, shaped to a comfortable Modern “C” profile with a compound 10”–12” radius and 22 narrow tall 6105 frets. The .820"–.870" taper provides a broken-in feel, while mother-of-pearl dot inlays add a refined touch.

A Floyd Rose Recessed bridge paired with a locking R2 nut ensures rock-solid tuning stability and expressive tremolo action. Additional appointments include a 4-ply white pearl pickguard, strap locks, vintage-style pearl button tuners, and a "US Deluxe Strat" headstock decal.

Every detail on this Strat—down to the purple burst quilt top, ebony board, and custom wiring—reflects the precision and artistry of Kyle McMillin's Masterbuilt craftsmanship. A true Custom Shop instrument, ready to stand out both visually and sonically.
