Product information

If you’re a Strat player at heart but love what Teles bring to a session or live set, this is your middle ground: Strat form, Tele feel, Masterbuilt execution - and stunning looks to boot.

Already have your traditional Strat covered and looking for something that bends the rules a bit? This Kyle McMillin Masterbuilt Koa Top Strat offers a fresh take - one that’s familiar at first glance but reveals something much more unique once in hand.

While inspired by the Strat, the body silhouette actually draws from an early P-Bass, the shape that originally gave birth to the Stratocaster form. That means this guitar has a flat top (no arm bevel or edge radius), which gives the figured Koa top room to shine, especially with the top-only black binding for contrast. The body is roasted ash, and it includes a tummy cut for comfort.

Specs-wise, you’re looking at a ‘65 C neck profile (.82–.974"), ebony fingerboard, 9.5" radius, 6105 frets, and a 1.675" bone nut, all executed with the flawless fit and finish we’ve come to expect from McMillin’s bench. But what really stands out here is the unique feel. While the shape suggests “Strat,” it feels more like a Telecaster in-hand - snappier, tauter, and better suited to players who love hybrid picking and a crisp, snappy response.

The Josefina-wound pickups reinforce that Tele-style voice, with a Twisted Tele in the neck and a Blackguard in the bridge, offering punch, top-end clarity, and presence that sits beautifully in a mix.
