Fender Made in Japan USED Limited Char Stratocaster Burgundy (Char Burgundy) [SN.080 / JD24029452] Fender

Char is one of Japan's leading rock guitarists.
We have received a rare, limited-edition model, produced in a limited first run, for sale on behalf of another customer.

The Limited Char Stratocaster Burgundy is a signature model that recreates Char's iconic 1959 Stratocaster, based on his actual instrument, and manufactured in Japan. The most striking feature is the matching headstock color, which uses the original Char Burgundy color, recreating the more subdued burgundy mist metallic finish that develops with age.

The pickups, which are the heart of the sound, are Char Original Single Coil Stratocasters developed to reproduce Char's warm and thick tone. The neck, which determines playability, reproduces the distinctive grip that is thin at the lower frets and thick at the higher frets.

Furthermore, to reproduce the relaxed tension feel of Char's actual guitar, which significantly impacts both sound and playability, the neck pocket has been designed to be deeper than usual. This allows for playing with a light touch even with high string action, just like Char himself, and produces richer harmonics. In addition, considering Char's dynamic whammy bar use, the tremolo block cavity has been designed to be wider than usual, increasing the range of adjustment.

The limited-edition Char Stratocaster Burgundy comes with a numbered neck plate and is finished with nitrocellulose lacquer. The wood used is also carefully selected, with the maple and rosewood for the neck and the alder for the body being based on Char's actual guitar. A hard case and signed certificate of authenticity are also included, making this a truly premium product.

In terms of condition, there are a few minor scratches and some creasing on the protective film of the pickguard and pickup cover, but otherwise it is in excellent condition with minimal signs of use. The frets show no noticeable wear, and of course, there are no issues with playability, including the neck and electronics, so you can welcome this guitar into your life for many years to come. We have also been told that the signature on the back of the headstock was given to the owner by Char. This is a very rare item that is not often seen on the used market, so please consider it while you have the chance.
