The Fender Mike McCready Stratocaster Electric Guitar in 3-Color Sunburst captures the unmistakable sound and timeless spirit of one of rock’s most enduring and influential bands, Pearl Jam. Designed in close collaboration with legendary guitarist Mike McCready, this signature Stratocaster is the ultimate instrument for any guitarist seeking to channel the potent power and electrifying intensity of this grunge icon.
Every detail of the Mike McCready Stratocaster is meticulously crafted to replicate the feel and tone of his treasured original. It features a handcrafted, heavily Road Worn lacquer finish over a resonant alder body, authentically recreating the battle scars Mike’s own Strat has earned over three decades of grueling, sold-out tours and legendary performances. This worn finish not only provides a unique aesthetic but also allows the wood to breathe, contributing to its vibrant tone.
The playability is second to none, with a comfortable slim C maple neck and a 9.5" radius slab rosewood fingerboard, precisely shaped to match McCready's beloved 1960 Strat. This combination offers a familiar, broken-in feel right out of the box, perfect for both rhythm and lead playing.
At the heart of its sound are the custom Mike McCready Stratocaster pickups. These single-coils are specially voiced to replicate the exact vintage tones of McCready’s original instrument, delivering the same timeless tone, passion, and raw energy that define his signature sound. From searing leads to soulful cleans, these pickups offer incredible versatility.
Hardware appointments include a vintage-style synchronized tremolo, complete with bent-steel saddles and a cold-rolled steel block. This classic Fender tremolo system ensures not only the purest Fender tone and sustain but also reliable tuning stability and expressive vibrato capabilities.
