The Mike McCready Stratocaster® 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 gruelling, 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 synchronised 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 Mike McCready Stratocaster® 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.
