The Story

1957 HS Stratocaster Hacksaw Relic Black over Graffiti Yellow Masterbuilt Kyle McMillin

This is our latest and greatest Music Zoo Exclusive "Hacksaw Relic". A 1957 Stratocaster Masterbuilt by Kyle McMillen with a Black over Olympic White finish that's beat to hell and back with a very wild look to it.

What's a Hacksaw Relic? We've all seen those funky pawn shop finds. Vintage guitars that have been modded to hell and back, with different pickups, changed wiring, a new set of tuners. Every once in a while, there's a diamond in the rough that's a fantastic player. We wanted to see what would happen if we took that concept to the Fender Custom Shop, and they've knocked it out of the park.

This '57 features a HS pickup configuration; there's a handwound El Diablo pickup in the neck with a Sonic Pickups Smoke House humbucker in the bridge position.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Case Candy and Paperwork
