The Limited Char Stratocaster® in Burgundy Mist Metallic pays homage to the legendary Japanese rock guitarist Char. It precisely recreates his iconic 1959 Stratocaster® with extreme attention to detail. The eye - catching matching headstock is finished in Char Burgundy, a unique aged metallic burgundy mist color. The Char Original Single Coil Stratocaster® pickups deliver his signature warm and full - bodied tone. The neck is expertly shaped, thin at the low frets for smooth playing and thicker at the high frets for a firm grip. The deeper - set neck pocket replicates the loose string tension of Char’s original guitar, enabling easy playability even at higher string heights. The widened tremolo cavity suits Char’s dynamic playing style, offering greater range and responsiveness. This limited - edition guitar is coated in nitrocellulose lacquer, features a numbered neck plate, and is crafted from hand - selected alder, maple, and rosewood to match the original. It comes with a hard case and a signed certificate, making it a must - have for collectors.

Using this Fender Japan Limited CHAR Stratocaster Electric Guitar is a breeze. When you first take it out of the vintage - style brown hardshell case, get familiar with the feel of the neck. The thin part at the low frets is great for quick runs and smooth playing, while the thicker part at the high frets gives you a firm hold. Plug it into your amplifier using the appropriate cable and start strumming. You'll notice the warm and full - bodied tone right away. For maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry place. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove any fingerprints or sweat. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity as this can damage the nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Check the tuning regularly using the Pure Vintage Single Line 'Fender Deluxe' tuning machines. If you want to change the strings, use the nickel - plated steel strings of.009-.042 gauges as specified. When not in use, always store it back in the hard case to protect it from scratches and dings. Also, be careful when using the tremolo arm as the widened tremolo cavity allows for more movement but can be delicate.
