Fender Michiya Haruhata Stratocaster Electric Guitar, RW FB, Caribbean Blue Trans

Michiya Haruhata (TUBE)'s signature Stratocaster guitar was inspired by the 'Michiya Haruhata Stratocaster III' from the 2011 custom - shop release. It features a stunning Caribbean blue finish on the quilt top, bringing a fresh and eye - catching look. This guitar is a treasure trove of innovative ideas, and it has made a mark through TUBE's activities and Haruhata's solo work. Haruhata wanted an affordable model. After being impressed by the quality of Japanese Fenders supervised by Chris Fleming for years, a project to develop a high - spec guitar at a reasonable price began. The custom - shop - level features include a large reverse headstock, a unique and functional control system, and a double - locking tremolo system. It uses the same pickups as custom - shop models and is directly mounted on the body. The neck shape is a 3D - scanned reproduction of Michiya Haruhata Soft V from the actual instrument. The prototype was completed in early May 2018. Haruhata loved it at first sight during a TUBE live - tour stage rehearsal and used it right away. His continued use of the prototype shows that it meets his high expectations.

Using your Fender Michiya Haruhata Stratocaster is easy. First, tune the guitar using the Fender® Vintage 'F' Stamped tuning machines. Plug it into an amplifier and start playing. You can experiment with the unique control system to get different sounds. The double - locking tremolo system allows for cool pitch - bending effects. When it comes to maintenance, keep the guitar in a dry place. After each use, wipe the strings with a clean cloth to remove sweat and dirt. You can also polish the hardware with a soft cloth to keep the chrome finish looking shiny. If you're not using the guitar for a long time, loosen the strings a bit to relieve stress on the neck. Be careful when handling the guitar. Avoid hitting it against hard objects. When traveling, use the provided gig bag to protect it. If you notice any issues like loose parts or changes in sound, it's a good idea to take it to a professional guitar technician for a check - up.
