A rare opportunity to own one of only 200 made worldwide—the legendary “Free Spirits” Mustang, the second signature model created for Japanese guitar icon Char.

Released in 2012 by the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation Custom Shop, this model holds a special place in Fender history as the first USA-made Mustang reissue since production ended in 1982. Designed with Char’s direct input, multiple prototypes and refinements were made before the final production run, resulting in one of the highest-spec Mustang models ever offered by Fender Custom Shop.

This particular guitar has been carefully collector-kept, displayed only and never taken to rehearsals, studios, or live performances. It remains in excellent cosmetic and playing condition.
