Kyle McMillin is celebrated worldwide as a distinguished Masterbuilder for Fender, belonging to an elite cadre of the planet's most respected guitar craftsmen. Given his near-mythical reputation, it's no surprise that guitars bearing his signature attract significant attention and admiration.
The Fender Custom Shop Kyle McMillin Masterbuilt '60 Strat Relic stands as a prime illustration of the exceptional skill and legendary craftsmanship associated with Fender's Masterbuilders.
This is a very tasty guitar, made to look and feel just like the original. It is surprisingly resonant acoustically. The relic treatment is described as heavy, which means it is through to the wood in some places, and with deliberately inflicted buckle rash on the back. Finished in Fiesta Red nitro, the lacquer shows subtle crazing which looks authentically natural.
The guitar is in excellent overall condition, with no modifications & everything works as it should. Showing miniscule fret wear, tuners are solid, quality trem bridge intonates well. One-piece, quartersawn maple neck and rosewood board, centre dot inlays, truss adjustment at the heel.
A true Fender classic with the perfect vintage feel, without the vintage price tag.
It comes in its original Fender Custom Shop tweed hard shell case along with its Kyle McMillin Masterbuilt Certificate of Authenticity and all case candy.
