Essential Information About the Fender Mike McCready Stratocaster Guitar

• Pearl Jam Signature: a Stratocaster designed with Mike McCready to capture the "grunge rock" energy and vintage 60s tone.


• Authentic Road Worn Look: hand-aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish for a "played-in" feel and unique visual character.


• Modern Comfort, Vintage Spirit: maple neck with a Slim "C" profile and rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5" / 241 mm radius for easy bends and excellent playability.


• Calibrated 60s Strat Sound: three Custom Mike McCready '60s single-coil pickups and Treble Bleed to maintain clarity even when lowering the volume.

An "Artist" Strat Inspired by a Legendary 1960 Model

Part of the Artist series, the Mike McCready Stratocaster is directly inspired by the guitarist's cherished 1960 Strat. Combining "tour-worn" finishes and vintage-feeling components, it aims for a very organic response, typical of Fender, designed to handle powerful rhythms and expressive leads without losing the Stratocaster identity.

Who Is It For, and What Styles?

This electric guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a high-end Strat oriented towards rock, grunge, blues rock, and classic rock. Its slim neck profile and 9.5" / 241 mm radius make it effective for both rhythm playing and solos, with immediate comfort for McCready-style licks (sharp attack, expressive vibrato, big bends).

The Tone

The alder body delivers the typical Fender balance: tight lows, present mids, and clear highs, perfect for cutting through a rock mix. The SSS configuration with Custom Mike McCready '60s Single-Coil Strat pickups produces an open and punchy sound: bright at the bridge, warmer and singing at the neck, and very "scooped" in positions 2 and 4 for sparkling arpeggios and rhythms. The Treble Bleed Circuit helps maintain definition when lowering the volume, while the vintage synchronized tremolo (bent steel saddles and cold-rolled steel block) enhances attack, sustain, and the typical Strat "spring."

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This guitar comes with a brown deluxe case. It is factory-strung with Fender USA 250R strings in gauge .010-.046: sticking with this gauge is ideal to maintain tension balance and vibrato feel.
