Which Strat did you use to record “Yellow Ledbetter”?

Mike McCready: That was a ’57 reissue with a maple neck that I bought around the time Jeff and Stone bought the ’62 reissue for me. But I did use the ’60 to play “Ledbetter” live forever because I knew it would sound good and deliver what I needed.

Do you still have the ’57 reissue?

Mike McCready: Yes, it’s in many pieces somewhere, along with the ’62 reissue I smashed to pieces during a Mad Season concert at the Moore Theater [in Seattle]. They were both really cool guitars, but when we were hitting those highs, and me being a fan of Jimi Hendrix and The Who, all of these things going through my mind and I was breaking s**t. It just happened because it always felt so good.
