As Gassage rightly points out $15k gets you into real thing territory especially if you don’t mind it being ‘player’ condition - and some non original parts.
Honestly... signature guitars bore me no matter who the artist is. Even ones I’ve heard of.
. Ludicrous price, but the fact that they will all sell out means that the market has chosen this price, Fender are just doing business.
Truth be told, his best work was with Stillwater.
Ten was released 30 years ago from this year, a longer gap than back then from the original guitar gods. The Seattle grunge era bands are by now easily in 'classic' era for us forty-something year olds.
Here's a non Pearl Jam performance with McCready on fire with the strat
I don't think you can call him a legend.
I don't think he has had the guitar impact of people like slash, van Halen, cobain, hetfield/hammett etc
Can't even remember a riff or anything particular with pearl jam to be honest. Yet we all know jump, teen spirit, sweet child etc
You can, rightly, say the guitar is overpriced/ not relevant or appealing to you.
What you can't say is that PJ, and in particular Mike McCready and Eddie Vedder aren't hugely influential music icons.
Grunge changed everything for a period. PJ, Nirvana, Sound Garden, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains etc were the driving force behind that whole scene. Nirvana and PJ were top of the tree. MM was the lead guitarist of a legendary (Inducted into the hall of fame in the first year they were eligible; legendary) guitar based band, doing new things in new ways.
He's absolutely had the impact of Slash, and like it or not, his career has lasted 30+ years and they're still selling out arenas and festivals. Cobain was dead barely 4 years after the Seattle grunge seen went global.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youStill wouldn't buy this sig though, at the end of the day it's still just a sunburst strat which is the worst Fender finish other than bright red.
In any case, at £15000 it’s less about being a fan and more about being extremely well off (or not well off but having vastly different financial priorities from most). To be fair, for a 45year old banker earning £15k a week this is small change. Plenty of those types around.
From my opinion/experience I would have said Nirvana > pearl jam
Nirvana killed off hair metal, spawned a genre and still influences bands and people's dress to this day
Pearl jam didn't have that impact. Happy to be proven wrong if I have somehow missed the movement caused by the "legendary" pearl jam.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youWhen the mainstream music press were trying to engineer a Blur vs Oasis hype war, the rock scene was all about PJ vs Nirvana. I liked both, and saw both several times. You'll get no argument from me that at the time Nirvana were marginally bigger, but you need to understand how that Seattle thing came about, as they all emerged together. Many of those at the forefront were in several of the bands and the whole scene was a bit incestuous.
In fact, neither PJ or Nirvana can claim to have kicked off grunge.
It was Mother Love Bone
