Yesterday, Pearl Jam's Mike McCready was talking about the one thing he'd change on Ten. Today, he's celebrating the release of a new custom guitar.

The guitarist has collaborated with Fender for a limited edition Mike McCready 1960 Stratocaster. The crew at Fender painstakingly took apart McCready's iconic guitar and created a run of 60 guitars, replicating every detail, right down to the worn finish. You can learn more about the process and the guitar here, and watch Mike take it for a test drive below.

Oh, and if you're looking to pick one up? Get ready to shell out $15,000. But hey, at least you'll get a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Mike, so you'll know it's legit.
