A faithful reproduction of the Michiya Haruhata III Stratocaster Trans Pink in the Made in Japan line!

This faithful reproduction of the Michiya Haruhata III Stratocaster Trans Pink, a signature model by Fender Custom Shop master builder Jason Smith, is available in the Made in Japan line.

While meeting the high expectations of Michiya Haruhata, one of Japan’s most technically gifted players and the first Japanese player to receive a signature model from Fender, this model boasts specifications at an affordable price. The

striking ash body with a flame maple top and a vibrant translucent pink finish, complete with no pickguard, enhances its sophisticated elegance.

The 25.5-inch scale, satin-finish Michiya Haruhata Soft V maple neck, recreated via a 3D scan of Haruhata’s original guitar, features black dot position markers, and the distinctive large reverse headstock is equipped with a locking nut for stable tuning. The

HSH pickup configuration supports Haruhata’s hard, emotional sound with a DiMarzio Air Norton DP193 humbucker in the neck position for rich sustain, a DiMarzio Fred DP153 for a tight, bright sound in the bridge position, and a Custom Shop Texas Special single-coil Strat for crystal-clear highs and tight lows.

The Master Tone with push-push function faithfully reproduces the unique neck pickup on/off function.

The bridge features a double locking tremolo system for stable tuning, maintaining accurate tuning even during aggressive playing.

Michiya Haruhata, who has shown his unique talent through various activities such as TUBE and solo work, has created a new model that is packed with his diverse ideas and supports a wide range of expression.
