Description (More pics below)
Beautiful 2023 Fender Mike McReady Stratocaster emulates the relic Strat of Pearl Jam's guitarist. Weight = 7lbs, 6oz.

Features
(See the full specs in gallery.) Some highlights:

-- NItro finished alder body

-- Slim C maple neck & slab rosewood board

-- Custom 60s PU's & Treble Bleed circuit

Condition
Looks just like it should with all the factory relic work. One of the best production relics Fender makes, including Custom Shop guitars. Frets are perfect, as are electronics.

Playability/Tone
Amazing playing experience. Feels like a nicely worn pair of blue jeans. Rubbed bare back neck for smooth feel. Classic 9.5" radius C neck and killer pickups. Comes with original case (one hinge a little iffy), paperwork, and trem bar. I'm pricing this to move at the lowest on Reverb, even lower than some with no case. Thanks!

International
Due to international shipping conditions, international buyers should contact FIRST for a quote to their country.

Recent Review:
"Guitar was packed perfectly for shipping. Everything arrived exactly as described. A lot of care and attention was put into the setup (intonation is perfect). Seller was nice enough to include some extras. Excellent seller! Thank you so much!"

Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Thanks!

Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.

About Me
My store is a one-person small business that has been selling used guitars and basses for 15 years now. I do a basic setup and cleaning on every instrument I sell, so depending on workload it may be 1-2 business days before your guitar ships. When it arrives you can depend on it being, clean, set up, and securely packed. Check my feedback for confirmation. Thanks!
