Fender Mike McCready Stratocaster
Signature Model Electric Guitar
Authentic 1959 / 1960 Strat Specs
Road Worn / Relic 3-Tone Sunburst Finish
The Fender Mike McCready Stratocaster signature model captures the unmistakable sound and timeless spirit of one of rock’s most enduring and influential bands. Designed in collaboration with the Pearl Jam guitarist, the Mike McCready Stratocaster is the ultimate Strat for any guitarist seeking to channel the potent power and electrifying intensity of this grunge guitar icon.
The Mike McCready Stratocaster features a hand-crafted, heavily Road Worn lacquer finish over an Alder body, recreating the battle scars Mike’s own Strat has earned over three decades of grueling, sold-out tours and legendary performances. The comfy 9.5″ radius slab Rosewood fingerboard on a slim “C” Maple neck are shaped to match McCready’s treasured 1960 Strat, while the custom Mike McCready Stratocaster pickups are voiced to replicate Mike’s vintage single-coils for the same timeless tone, passion and energy that define his signature sound. The vintage-style synchronized tremolo, bent-steel saddles and cold-rolled steel block ensure the purest Fender tone and performance.
With its well-worn finish and bold tones, the Fender Mike McCready Stratocaster signature model resonates with the soulful essence of the iconic Strat that has powered Pearl Jam’s chart-topping hits and transcendent live performances across countless studios and stages.
About Mike McCready:
Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready has earned his place among the giants of rock ‘n’ roll guitar. His searing leads are steeped in blues and classic rock reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend and Keith Richards, and his peerless work on hits, including “Yellow Ledbetter”, “Even Flow”, “Nothing As It Seems” and countless others, helped pave the way for Pearl Jam’s 2017 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. McCready’s guitar work in Seattle supergroups Temple of the Dog and Mad Season also featured instantly recognizable Strat riffs, such as those heard on “Hunger Strike” and “River of Deceit”.
Inspired by Stevie Ray Vaughan, McCready set out early on to acquire his own ’59 Strat, and, serendipitously, with his first ever vintage guitar purchase, he found “the one” that has been his primary Fender instrument ever since.
