- In our first-ever collaboration with Mike McCready, Master Builder Vincent Van Trigt set out to recreate the Pearl Jam guitarist’s beloved ‘59 Strat down to every last scratch - and in the process a secret about the guitar’s lineage was revealed: it was actually a '60. With a Relic lacquer finish, flat-sawn maple neck and custom Josefina hand-wound pickups, this Strat is a faithful tribute to McCready’s road-tested favorite. Learn more here: bit.ly/3urYitN

Maybe I’m wrong, but I believe Mike McCready is the only person to play in separate bands with Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell, and Layne Staley. What a legend
Your not wrong , one of the best that's played with and contributed to the best
…and Mark Lanegan.
Don’t forget Andrew Wood! Dude was the best, the original.
Jason Everman can almost touch that. Didn't play with Pearl Jam, but he played in nirvana
@@1355Anthony That were Jeff and Stone. McCready wasn't in Mother Love Bone. 😊
I met Mike McCready briefly about 11 years ago when he was playing guitar for Tres Mts (Jeff Aments side project) some fans, myself included, waited outside after the show to meet him and Jeff, Jeff came out kinda just waved to everyone very briefly then got into a black SUV and left. When Mike came out he really took the time to talk to everyone and made sure if everyone wanted to take a picture got one. Super nice and humble guy. You can tell he really doesn’t take for granted what he does. My friend had a similar experience on Temple of The Dog tour. Everyone left except Mike and Stone.
Awesome. Mike’s such an underrated guitar player 🙌🏻
You're an underrated player for sure, but I'd say Mike is more of an underrated songwriter. Some of the riffs he's written are just massive hooks, that will never escape my memories. Goddard wrote/writes a fair bit of backbone, but the licks are all Mike's. BTW, when is your sig coming?
I agree completely, and coming from an excellent guitarist like you, that is a great compliment!
I've been fortunate to happen to have known Mike since we were kids, so I'm obviously biased, but it was very cool to see him grow and become the musician he is today, and VERY cool to see outstanding guitarists like you and Mick Taylor from TPS name drop Mike as a guitarist they love and respect.
He was honestly always very good (as was Danny Newcomb, who also picked up the guitar at around the same time - I was the John Lennon chord basher, but still eternally pushing my skills, by having these two as my other guitar playing friends).
Praised among fans and other musicians?? Nah..he's very appropriately rated.
i don't think he is... you just t hanging with the wrong people. hahah
You and he both. The attention span of the masses is fleeting. But we appreciate you both. Keep moving forward.
He is so underrated, his solos have so much feelings, hail hail Mike!
The thing I like about him a lot is that he does pretty basic pentatonic stuff but it sounds so good everytime.
I guess im randomly asking but does someone know of a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid lost the password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me
@Eliseo Sawyer Instablaster ;)
@Vance Brennan thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Vance Brennan It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass!
His playing on the song Even Flow is amazing. He's one of the best guitarists of all time.
Highly underrated. No one really understands why I play like I do until I point in his direction.
Totally agreed!
Sorry, I just don’t understand why everyone thinks he’s so special. Just my opinion.
Wow! My daughter's totally in it!! Hail to Mike and Fender, from Brazil!!
Mike McCready is a very interesting guitarist, and like a lot of grunge guitarists, he never gets the credit he deserves.
Absolutely love you Mike...and PJ.... favourite guitarist ever..... soundtrack to my life....live again will be ultimate bliss. Adore..
The guitars on Ten are just life changing. And Mad Season 'above' is an album where you can hear all kinds of great stuff from Mike as well. One of my favorite players, so influential.
Wake ups solo is the best 🤘
Just love to hear naturally talented yet humble people talk, great guitarist, thank you
I hate to see him getting old and knowing eventually all great things come to an end. McCready is one of those great things
To write a song like yellow Ledbetter is the frontier of musical talent. So so so angelic
Bout damn time. Him and Lifeson are the most underrated in Rock. Period.
Actually I do kinda agree with you. Although Alex he is highly respected among “real” guitar players, he did have to share the spotlight with 2 absolute monsters. Not to mention other insane guitar players around that time. But yeah he is definitely “underrated” because imo, he is as good as Neil, Geddy, and dare I say, Eddie? Lol
The most underrated Guitarist ever.
Mikes SRV story is such a great one!!
SRV, 🙏 Rest In Peace
Dude is a sweetheart and a ripper. It’s about time.
“ How the the guitar scream and how it plays beautifully “- words that best describes a Stratocaster
Dude both Mike and Stone are some of the best guitarists I have ever seen.
Lmao not even slightly close
@@underdog8797 Lmao?....both Mike & Stone write/play in one of the most successful bands of the last 30 years. At what they do in their creative sphere - Pearl Jam - there is clearly no-one better.
Between Ten and the TOTD record, those are some of the most impactful guitar tones I’ve ever heard. The combo of the Strat and Mike McCready’s playing is magic.
Totally agree but don't forget his work on Mad Season's album and songs like River of Deceit.
He used a LP on a lot of Ten
@@Jamesfoofighter there’s two guitarists, stone gossard was the one who used a les Paul
@@R04dny read an interview with him - he stated he used SGs and LPs on Ten, as well as his Strats. Alive solo was recorded on a LP.
@@Jamesfoofighter Stone Played the LP, Mike Plays a Strat on Ten.
The perfect balance of two great sounding guitars and 2 great guitar players.
The isolated guitar tracks of "Ten" show how incredible he and Stone are
I listen to it all the time haha
It’s a nice coincidence that two of my favorite guitarists (John Frusciante and Mike McCready) both plays a sunburst strat.
I've seen PJ more times than I can count, but one of the best shows I've ever seen was Mike McCready at The Crocodile back in the day. I finally learned Yellow Ledbetter on my sunburst Strat a couple weeks back and when I finally hit something resembling the song, I thought back to the times when I watched Mike absolutely captivate stadiums with his finale solo. There's nothing in my heart but gratitude. What a gift to have been a soul in those crowds. This was before any of today's tech. We had tapers if we wanted bootlegs, then came Napster, which was mind-blowing. Every payday I'd hit Tower Records and drop a $100 on CD's. People ask why I pay $15 /month for spotify premium and I'm like, "Dude, for $15/month I can get whatever I want!" I miss the experience of going to a record store, sometimes buying albums based on the cover art. sometimes you grabbed a winner, sometimes you bought a coaster for blow. It's unfortunate that youngsters like my son will never experience the reality we had the fortune to live through. Back when you'd buy a ticket at Fred Meyer the day of the show and hope they weren't sold out. If they were, you'd show up on a lot anyhow, hoping to get your hands on a stub. Sometimes you'd find a side door to a venue that was open and you'd waive at your idiot friends to get their asses moving. As I remember these things, the only adequate descriptor of those times is the sappy smile on my face.
You sound as nostalgic as I do trying to explain to my kids how we'd buy a CD the day it hit the music store, put it in the car CD player and start from the beginning. We've kinda lost that over the years and hate they'll never experience some of the times I had cause it's never as good for music as the 90's some may argue but that was the decade for me, we got away from hair bands thank God and what came after has never been duplicated
Mike has always been my favorite guitarist from the 90s era. Not just his PJ work but TotD and Mad Season as well. His work on Your Savior is still one of the best riffs in rock music. Congrats Mike, you've earned and deserve the honor.
Such a nice, down to earth guy. I can't help but admire this guy.
He is a fantastic guitar player, very underrated.
Fender + McCready = Awesomeness
The soul of the best band ever.
Mike was a inspiration for me as a young player when I picked up the guitar in 1997. He is a pentatonic ripper for sure. As I began to learn, I realized that his style and licks were actually attainable. They were a combo of speed (at times), pentatonic runs, and pure EMOTION, & flawless delay and wah technique to name a few. With practice and dedication I was able to play like him. I've stolen his tone and style and used it in my own original bands back in the day. The ultimate compliment I got from one of my band's singers was, "man you sound like Mike McCready from Pearl Jam". I think I smiled for a week straight.
Mike's feel and knowing exactly what to play and when to play it, to me, makes up for his lack of being EVH or SRV...he never had to be one of those guys to make PJ songs great. He is like a fan and great player who landed the ultimate gig. I live vicariously through him. His playing WAS and IS and always will be perfect for what Pearl Jam put(s) out. I love seeing this from Fender and although I won't buy this, appreciate the Mike McCready acknowledgement after all these years. Mike isn't just a great player and humble guy...he is a major major fan of Fender guitars which makes this all the more special. He has 59 tattooed on his arm...for all the years until they really did research on this guitar, thought this guitar was a 59 Strat.
Luckily he still has a 59 Les Paul! 😂
Probably the best lead Guitarist out there right now!! Amazing work, especially live, Pearl Jam is probably the best live Rock band out there. In my opinion their songs are even better live. Amazing work Mike!! Congratulations 🤘
Thank you Mike McCready!
McCready is one of those guitarists you can tell just from their tone and play style
Can we get a longer version of this? He is sush a great player and lover of guitar.
Nothing nicer than a beat up Stratocaster! Really glad they have honoured him with a custom shop signature, he's one of the few greats left that didn't have one.
What about a clean 1960 strat?
Congratulations, Mike! I'm so proud of the amazing musician you became, and I'm grateful I was in the rare position to watch your development from the start. THIS is what custom shop guitars are all about, and I can think of no other guitarist who deserves a custom instrument more!
He is one of my heroes... hands down.
Well, those are just magic tones. And they’re from a collaboration between the essence of Mike McCready (his mind and fingers) and the guitar and the amps and the effects. It all comes together to create something special. It simply doesn’t happen with most players, sad to say. It’s a rare gift.
Congrats, Mr. McCready. Absolutely worthy of this acknowledgment.
Mike, thank you for being an inspiration to us!
Wow. Never tried to get to know Mike more. Love this guy.
Mr.Mike McCready, love you Soo much, I've watched hundreds of Pearl Jam concerts on CZcams you my dear are sooo awesome and amazing you never disappoint ever!!! ❤️🤘🎸🌹🥰
❤️❤️❤️
Finally a guitarist worthy of a signature model... When I was 13 and heard the alive solo on the video clip on rage and taped it on VHS and watched it over and over and over it inspired me to learn more than just grunge nirvana power chords. He was hendrix for 90s grunge teens
I'm 39 now btw
The pearl jam concert in Melbourne 95 literally changed ny life. There was a riot it was everything. I never liked them as much after vitalogy but that period shaped me as a person - no doubt. What a time 2 be a kid
Love the story behind the headstock chip. I'd imagine a dramatically different outcome if he played a Les Paul.
He does.
Would’ve smashed the cabinet. LOL
SNAP! Would've broken off and flew right in his face from the string tension.
@@growingupgold he was referring to the specific moment when he snapped the strat.
However, Mike - such as many other guitarists - plays a large variety of guitars (including a beautiful yellow Les Paul TV Model with a single p90, that his wife bought him for his 40th birthday), but he can be unarguably defined a mainly stratocaster guy. Even the things he’s playing now with a Les Paul, he has written them mostly on his black strat in the old days of the Ten record
He’s also smashed a few LPs on stage.
Love Mike Mcready's playing and Pearl Jam. His interview in Hit Parader magazine back in the 90's turned me on to Muddy Waters and the Last Waltz movie.
Yeah! I heard Pearl Jam for the first time when I was jogging. EvenFlow was coming across a field traveling through the wind from some speakers outside at a pool. It was the beginning of music we all heard in our heads, filling the monotonous years in between, when music sucked. We were connected to Mike’s style of playing. I remember thinking, finally some good f’ing rock again!
Nice to see this from Fender! Wow.
What a nice guy, and a killer on the fretboard. Always loved his playing. Part of my musical life for 30 years, TOTD was my first CD I bougt back in 1993.....
Yellow Ledbetter is one of the reasons I picked up a guitar at 29 and decided this time I was gonna do it properly. Eventually I'll decide I deserve to splash out on a strat and go chasing that tone.
It’s essentially Hendrix; nothing original.
@@scottwaszak698 Please, Pearl Jam wishes. That song is just a few of the chords of Little Wing, with none of the amazing fretwork & voicings.
So you'd never heard Little Wing?
@@JeighNeither Yep, I had, it's great. But it was Yellow Ledbetter that made me want to play the guitar, which is why I wrote a comment about Yellow Ledbetter and not Little Wing.
Same, Yellow Ledbetter is the reason I learned to play
This guy is an amazing guitar player. He deserves it. And I´m pretty sure this will be a great guitar.
3:44 absolutely unmistakeable McCready tone and lick imo... massively inspired my own playing so much more than anyone else
His solo in "Evenflow" is one of my favorite of all time. Monster of a player.
the photo in my bio was taken at this show and shortly before I captured the photo used in the Fender promo for this incredible guitar (at the 1:20 mark!). THANK YOU Mike, Fender and Pearl Jam for inviting me to the show in Seattle on Aug 8 2018 and for the awesome opportunity to provide photos for the Custom McCready guitar!
Mike’s fill ins during the second verse of Evenflow (video version) are simply the best of all time. They are the equivalent to the drum fills in Tom Sawyer.
Mike McCready is a great Strat player and part of the reason why I love Pearl Jam.
One of those guitar players, whose music inspired me top pick up guitar
Mike McCready, genius of tone and play
Mike the best! So lucky to see you playing live with PJ.
First it screams and then it breaks your heart when he plays Ledbetter. Awesome!
Awesome vid....for those not familiar with his brief band called Mad Season with Layne Staley of Alice in Chains on vocals...its a must!!! Some of Mike's best stuff is on the their one album they made called Above.
One of my absolute favorite albums
"... And I play in a band called Pearl Jam..."
Ok, now that's a flex.
I've always wanted a Stratocaster. Now even more. Hail McCready!
finally. jesus its about time everyone starts appreciating these underrated guitarist
Mike and SRV are my ultimate guitar Hero’s! Well deserved Mike!
And of course love all your amazing solo and your War Pigs riff at the end of Alive, and need to mention Mad Season Wake Up solo, insane totally insane!!! Love it sooo very much!! ❤️🤘

❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mike is the guy who gave me the inspiration to take up attempting to play guitar & I am definitely not worthy! Thanks for blowing me away for the last 30 years 🤘❤🙏
Exceptional guitar player, and I'm stoked for him to have his own signature guitar. But I will never understand the desire some people have to buy a brand new guitar that has fake distressing on it. The guitar earns those battle scars through use.
Love Mike McCready and his strat!
About time Fender make your guitar I knew it just a matter of time. Whenever Mike throws his head back it's on and he is in another world.
Most underrated guitarist ever
Finally! Another legend to the hall
Love you Mike!!!! Great Job Fender.
Mike definitely intensified my want of a Strat. One of my favourite players if not my actual favourite.
"Everytime I saw Prince....He was the best guitar player I've ever seen." - -- Awesome!!! Truth!! Kick ass Mike!!!
Prince wasn't worthy to even hold Eddie van Halen's guitar
FENDER has unique sounds, the best....
Fender is my dream guitar but I can't pay the high price...ilove you fender guitar.
criminally underrated man. his riffs and solos are so tasteful. shit man.
Saw this as an ad in my recommended but I still clicked on it because it’s Fender
Mike has huge tone taste and talent! Luv this guy
Definitely a heck of guitar player! Deserves a ton of respect! Awesome guitar
Never heard a super reverb sound so great with distortion pedals.
I love his playing so much! Such an underrated player. HIs solo on Reach Down is so baddass it made me want a strat.
Mike McCready ♥️♥️♥️♥️
One of thee most underrated guitarists!
Thanks for sharing, Mike!
So this is as close to a John Frusciante signature we'll get!!!
Came to comment the same thing
by the way! indeed.
lol thought the same thing
Personally, I'd like a Frusciante signature Jaguar.
Thinking the same thing
fantastic! One of my favourite guitarist.
Him and Stone Gossard are such underrated guitarists
Top demais!!!!!! Mike é um dos melhores guitarristas do mundo!!!
Very underrated, the first 2 PJ albums every song was brilliant and they'd be on island with me.
First solo I ever learned was from “Glorified G”. I’ve always loved Mike’s playing and this guitar is long overdue!
A rare major key solo from Mike!
Classy stuff Fender. I'll never be able to afford one, but its great you're doing this.
Uno de mis guitarristas favoritos, un gran placer saber q fender pueda honrar a drandes guitarristas como Mike Mccready, saludos desde Chile lindo.!
Love it; here f/ the other video by Fender w/ Mike
Seems like a Great guy and Congratulations on getting a Master build signature Stratocaster !!
Finally!! This is the one I’ve been waiting for❤️🎸
When it happens I’m gone ❤cheers my good sir.
Great guitar player!!!! Much fan!!!!!
Top 10 guitarist of all time… highly underrated.
Thanks ❤
I love Fender. I love masterbuilder I love heavy relic .🎸🎸🎸
The chip in the headstock ! Great player .
Now give me Eddie's tele with p90.
Yes but not a custom shop preferably. A road worn would be an instabuy for me!
Fender is really missing on that one for sure!
