Road Worn Nitro Finish
A highlight of the Fender Mike McCready signature Stratocaster is the alder body’s hand-applied, Road Worn nitrocellulose lacquer finish. This distinctively distressed patina authentically recreates the battle scars of Mike McCready’s own Strat, offering you an authentic piece steeped in rock heritage.
1960s Feel
The Fender Mike McCready Artist Stratocaster sports a 9.5-inch radius rosewood fingerboard and a slim “C” maple neck, modelled with precision after McCready’s personal 1960 Strat. The result is an electric guitar that feels inviting and familiar, even during the most intricate of solos or chord progressions.
Custom Pickups
What sets the Mike McCready Stratocaster apart is its custom pickups. These are specifically tailored to mimic the vintage single-coils in Mike McCready’s original guitar. Expect a sound profile that is rich, detailed, and — above all — faithful to the original sonic textures that have become synonymous with the iconic Pearl Jam guitarist.
Vintage-Style Tremolo
Quality is evident in the Fender Mike McCready Strat’s rock-solid and reliable hardware. With a vintage-style synchronized tremolo, bent-steel saddles, and a cold-rolled steel block, this Strat guitar guarantees a classic Fender tone that is pure, resonant and inspiring.
