    Are they releasing the guitar again? Or is this a different version?
    Made in Mexico version. 95% of the quality, 13% of the price.
    Where can I get one?  I pre-ordered on Guitar Center, but not sure they will actually have one to send me
    Official release is next week. However, there are a few out there if you check around. I received mine yesterday from Eddie's Guitars. 
    I want to be clever, but I don't know how.

    The Mike McCready Stratocaster® captures the unmistakable sound and timeless spirit of one of rock’s most enduring and influential bands. Designed in collaboration with the Pearl Jam guitarist, the Mike McCready Stratocaster® is the ultimate Strat® for any guitarist seeking to channel the potent power and electrifying intensity of this grunge guitar icon.

    The Mike McCready Stratocaster® features a hand-crafted, heavily Road Worn® lacquer finish over an alder body, recreating the battle scars Mike’s own Strat has earned over three decades of grueling, sold-out tours and legendary performances. The comfy 9.5″ radius slab rosewood fingerboard on a slim “C” maple neck are shaped to match McCready’s treasured 1960 Strat, while the custom Mike McCready Stratocaster pickups are voiced to replicate Mike’s vintage single-coils for the same timeless tone, passion and energy that define his signature sound. The vintage-style synchronized tremolo, bent-steel saddles and cold-rolled steel block ensure the purest Fender tone and performance.

    With its well-worn finish and bold tones, the Mike McCready Stratocaster® resonates with the soulful essence of the iconic Strat that has powered Pearl Jam’s chart-topping hits and transcendent live performances across countless studios and stages.

    I ordered mine a couple of minutes ago directly at fender.com (German site / Link!). The Stratocaster is still available at the fender store (09/11, 09:16pm).

    I'm so happy with my order. Finally an affordable Mike-Strat.

    Ah, I'm glad there's a version available for less than $15K (husband plays only occasionally, after all); this will make a nice birthday or Christmas gift for him.  :-)

    I'm so excited to get this and started thinking what is going to really make it sing in the right tone for this guitar, and I realize I know mostly stones riffs!

    What song should I learn so when this comes I can shred???

    I have been playing for 30 years, but I'm no Mccready, so nothing too crazy.
