Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready teams with Fender to release limited edition guitar
Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready and Fender’s Custom Shop have released a limited edition replica of his signature vintage 1960 Stratocaster.Originally announced earlier this year, when it was revealed that McCready’s iconic ‘59 Strat was actually a ‘60 model, the news coincides with the 30th anniversary of the band’s debut album, ‘Ten’.The replica is described as a faithful recreation that “accounts for every spec, detail and iconic scratch,” and boasts a heavy relic lacquer finish, flat-sawn flame maple neck with period-accurate ‘60 oval-C profile, and a flat-lam rosewood fretboard.Speaking to Guitar World, McCready described the model as “probably the best-playing guitar I have.”In our first-ever collab w/ @MikeMcCreadyPJ, Vincent Van
