For Sale: 2021 Fender MIJ Japan Char Signature Mustang – Olympic White | MIJ Japan | Tweed HSC

Up for sale is a 2021 Fender MIJ Japan Char Signature Mustang in Olympic White, complete with a non-original tweed hard-shell case.

This is a very cool Japan-exclusive signature model built to Char’s personal specifications and never officially offered to the U.S. market. As a result, these are much harder to come by stateside and are especially appealing to players and collectors looking for something outside the usual Mustang lineup. It combines classic short-scale Mustang feel with several thoughtful upgrades, giving it a more refined and performance-oriented design while still keeping the unmistakable Fender offset character intact.

Condition

This guitar is in mint condition (10/10).

It still has the protective plastic on the pickguard and shows virtually no signs of use.

There are no cracks, breaks, repairs, or structural issues. The neck is straight, the truss rod functions properly, the original frets show no wear, and the guitar plays cleanly up and down the neck with no buzzing or dead spots. It has also been recently professionally set up and is ready to go.

The non-original tweed hard-shell case is included.

Electronics & Features

One of the biggest draws of this model is how much thought went into the design. Rather than being just a cosmetic signature edition, the Char Mustang includes meaningful functional upgrades, including a specially developed synchronized tremolo system and a simplified, more intuitive control layout.

The 3-position toggle switching and repositioned controls make it more straightforward and stage-friendly than a traditional Mustang, while the unique pickguard and overall layout give it a distinct identity.

Tone & Feel

This guitar has the fast, responsive feel Mustang players love, with a slightly more refined and versatile edge. The MIJ Mustang single-coils deliver clear, punchy, and articulate tone with classic Fender character.

The upgraded tremolo system and simplified controls make it especially practical for live use, while the 24" scale keeps it comfortable and easy to play.

At just 6 lbs 12 oz, it is lightweight, resonant, and very comfortable for long sessions. The 9.5" radius also gives it a more modern, player-friendly feel compared to vintage-spec Mustangs.
