Comments
A truly unique Fender, built as a prototype specifically for Michiya Haruhata—best known for his work with TUBE and widely regarded as one of Japan’s premier session and rock guitarists

Haruhata’s playing blends melodic phrasing with technical precision, earning him a reputation not only in Japan but internationally, with a long-standing association with Fender instruments reflected in this bespoke build.

This particular example is signed by Haruhata on the body and is accompanied by both a COA and a personally signed letter confirming its authenticity and provenance—solidifying its status as a genuine artist prototype
Specification-wise, this is far from a standard Stratocaster.
