Fender Made in Japan USED Michiya Haruhata Stratocaster (Caribbean Blue Trans/ Rosewood) [SN. JD23012580]

Recommended used items!
Michiya Haruhata is one of Japan's leading and most charismatic guitarists!
We have a recommended used "Michiya Haruhata Stratocaster," a Japanese-made signature model by Michiya Haruhata (TUBE), in stock!
This guitar was made in 2023. The beautiful quilted maple grain is captivating, and the Caribbean Blue Trans color really stands out!

The base model is the "Michiya Haruhata Stratocaster III," released by the custom shop in 2011. Packed with various ideas, this instrument, with its refreshing quilted top and Caribbean blue finish, has become an iconic presence through various activities such as TUBE and solo work.

Mr. Haruhata, who had long desired to develop a model in an affordable price range, was convinced by the quality of Japanese-made Fender guitars, which had been supervised by Chris Fleming over the past few years. This led to the start of a project to develop a model with uncompromising specifications while keeping the price down.

This guitar incorporates all the ideas packed into the Custom Shop models, including a reverse large headstock, a unique and functional control system, and a double-locking tremolo system. The pickups are also the same as those used in the Custom Shop models and are directly mounted to the body. Furthermore, the neck shape is the Michiya Haruhata Soft V, which was reproduced by 3D scanning the actual guitar used by the artist.

The prototype was completed in early May 2018. Haruhata checked it during stage rehearsals for TUBE's nationwide live tour, which had already started, and instantly liked it, using it in the actual performance. The fact that he has continued to perform with that prototype since then proves that it was a model that met Haruhata's expectations.
