Hers is a Shred Master Supreme worthy guitar that screams summer vibes, rock energy, and Japanese precision all in one electrifying package. This isn’t just any Strat—it’s the 2020 Fender Japan Michiya Haruhata Signature Stratocaster, a limited-edition powerhouse inspired by the legendary guitarist of TUBE, finished in a stunning Transparent Pink that lets the quilted maple top shimmer like a neon sunset over a Tokyo beach. In absolute mint condition, with not a scratch or sign of playwear, this beauty looks and plays like it just rolled off the factory floor. Whether you’re shredding high-gain leads, dialing in crystal-clear cleans, or blending funky rhythms, this HSH-configured beast delivers versatility that matches Haruhata’s own dynamic style—from arena-rock anthems to soulful ballads.

Don’t dream about it—make it yours and let the pink power propel your music to new heights!

Envision the body: Crafted from lightweight ash with a gorgeous quilted maple top, the Transparent Pink gloss finish translucent enough to showcase the flame-like figuring beneath, creating a visual pop that’s as eye-catching as it is elegant. The classic S-style contour fits like a glove, with a reverse headstock that adds a rebellious twist, turning heads before you even plug in. The maple neck, shaped in Haruhata’s signature soft “V” profile with a satin polyurethane finish, offers effortless playability for hours of fatigue-free performance. Slide up the maple fingerboard, boasting a modern 9.5-inch radius and sleek black dot inlays, where 22 medium jumbo frets await your fastest licks and bends. Loaded with an HSH pickup array—DiMarzio Air Norton humbucker at the neck for warm, articulate tones, a Fender Custom Shop Texas Special single-coil in the middle for that classic Strat quack, and a DiMarzio Fred humbucker at the bridge for scorching leads—these pups are wired to a 5-way switch, master volume, and tone controls for endless sonic possibilities. The locking tremolo bridge ensures dive-bomb stability without sacrificing vintage feel, while chrome hardware and precise tuners keep everything rock-solid. Weighing in at around 8 pounds, this Strat balances perfectly, ready to conquer stages or studios with its 25.5-inch scale delivering ringing sustain and bite.

Now, let’s spotlight the man behind the model—Michiya Haruhata, the guitar virtuoso whose career has defined Japanese rock for decades. Born on November 5, 1966, in Tokyo, Haruhata burst onto the scene in 1985 as the lead guitarist and composer for TUBE, a pop-rock band that became synonymous with Japan’s endless summer soundtrack. With hits like “Beach Time” and albums selling millions, TUBE revolutionized J-pop with their upbeat, beachy anthems, blending rock riffs, catchy melodies, and Haruhata’s innovative guitar work.       Launching his solo career in 1987 with instrumental albums that showcased his technical prowess and emotional depth, Haruhata has released over a dozen records, composed for films and TV, and produced for other artists under Sony Music.    His love for pink Strats dates back to his early days, commissioning custom models that evolved into this signature line, first introduced in the ‘90s and refined over the years to capture his versatile playing—from soaring solos to rhythmic grooves.   Collaborating with Fender Japan since the brand’s modern revival in 2015, Haruhata’s 2020 model embodies the pinnacle of MIJ craftsmanship: superior wood selection, flawless assembly, and attention to detail that rivals custom shops, all produced in Japan’s state-of-the-art facilities for domestic and select international markets.    This guitar isn’t just gear—it’s a tribute to Haruhata’s enduring legacy as a trailblazer who fused Western rock influences with Japanese pop sensibility, inspiring generations of players.

Our Guarantee

We stand behind every guitar we sell. "Good enough" is never good enough. Every instrument is inspected, set up, and tested by multiple people immediately before shipping. We deliver the highest standard of quality and have built a reputation as a three-time NAMM Top 100 Dealer since 2009. The Dude Abides.

Neck & Setup (unless otherwise noted)

- Neck is perfectly straight with no truss rod issues.

- Intonation is spot-on.

- Professionally set up with low action and new American-made strings.

- All frets are dressed, leveled, crowned (if needed), and polished to shine like new, with no divots.

Return Policy, Restocking Fees & No Tire-Kicking Policy

We offer a 7-day return policy. However:

- You must notify us in writing within 3 days of delivery (per tracking) of your intent to return.

- Original shipping and return shipping costs are not refunded unless the guitar is damaged in transit or is significantly not as described (for example, you ordered red and got white, or a Telecaster instead of a Les Paul).

- A 15% restocking fee applies to all returns for any reason other than damage in transit or significantly not as described. Please note that a 10% restocking fee applies to orders that have been purchased and paid for and have been off the market for 24 hours or more, even if they have not been shipped or picked up by the carrier, because we perform a final setup and change the strings as soon as an order is placed and paid for. NO EXCEPTIONS.

We do our best to honestly describe and photograph every guitar and most of the noticeable imperfections. That said, we are human, and something very small can be overlooked. If tiny marks, dings, or super fine scratches (normal wear) bother you, please don't buy.

We record demo videos of every guitar before shipping to document its exact condition and performance. Additional photos, measurements, or in-hand descriptions are available upon request prior to purchase.

Minor adjustments to a setup (for example, correcting a slight buzz or a truss rod tweak) are normal after shipping, due to carrier mishandling and climate and atmospheric changes, especially when moving from South Florida to colder or less humid environments. These slight issues do not constitute "significantly not as described." Guitars must be returned in the exact same condition as received/advertised, or additional repair/restocking fees will apply.

We are a small, family-owned and family-run business, not a big-chain retailer. We invest significant time, money, and effort into every guitar. This is a NO TIRE-KICKING shop. There is no post-purchase haggling, and there are no returns without restocking fees and no partial refunds. If minor cosmetic marks, tiny imperfections, odors/smells, or the possibility of a post-shipping setup tweak makes you uncomfortable, please do not buy. Plenty of large retailers offer free trials and can absorb shipping costs; we do not.

Payment, Shipping & International Duties

- All items can be shipped internationally. The buyer is fully responsible for all import duties, taxes, and customs fees.

- We accept PayPal, PayPal Credit, Affirm, and other major payment methods.

- Most U.S. shipments are sent via UPS or FedEx with full insurance, tracking, and signature confirmation. All packages are professionally packed for maximum protection.

International Shipping Note

International shipping prices shown are for most countries; certain countries have higher costs. We try to avoid USPS and mostly ship UPS, but in certain situations USPS is the only available or reasonable carrier. Express services (UPS, DHL, FedEx) are always available. We can't undervalue merchandise, as it could not be properly insured. If you would like to discuss different options, contact us by email or phone for a personalized quote.

Thank you for considering The Guitar Dude. We look forward to earning your business and delivering a guitar that exceeds your expectations. Contact us anytime for questions, consignment inquiries, layaway details, or a personalized shipping quote.
