The Made in Japan line faithfully reproduces Michiya Haruhata's signature model "Michiya Haruhata III Stratocaster Trans Pink" produced by Fender Custom Shop's master builder Jason Smith.

We have succeeded in creating an affordable model that meets the high demands of Michiya Haruhata, one of Japan's leading technical players and the first Japanese to produce a signature model from Fender.

The ash body with an eye-catching flame maple top painted in a bright trans pink color and no pick guard enhances its sophisticated elegance.

The 25.5-inch scale satin-finished Michiya Haruhata Soft V maple neck, which was 3D scanned from Haruhata's actual machine, features black dot position marks, and the characteristic reverse large head provides tuning stability. Equipped with a lock nut.

The pickups in the HSH configuration are a DiMarzio Air Norton DP193 humbucker in the neck position, which provides rich sustain, and a DiMarzio Fred, which has a tight and bright sound, in the bridge position, to support the Haruhata sound that produces a hard and emotional sound. DP153 and the Custom Shop Texas Special Single-Coil Strat, which covers everything from clear highs to tight lows, are directly mounted on the body like the original model.

The Master Tone with Push-Push function faithfully reproduces the unique function of turning the neck pickup on and off.

The bridge uses a double locking tremolo system that maintains tuning stability and maintains accurate tuning even during aggressive play.

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