Fender American Special Mustang
Aftermarket Price History
Used-market sales only. Sparse monthly volume; showing a rolling 10-sale average by latest sale month.
The American Special Mustang was Fender's stripped-down U.S. hot-rod take on the short-scale platform, aimed at players who wanted domestic build quality and a more aggressive spec than a vintage-style reissue. Its defining traits are the simplified modern layout and higher-output hardware choices Fender used to push the model toward rock utility rather than toward period correctness. On the used market, pickup originality and overall cleanliness do most of the work because buyers are usually hunting the American Special formula specifically, not just any Mustang with a U.S. serial number. It is a niche but practical model that rewards stock examples.
