Tube's lead guitarist Michiya Haruhata has his own signature model, the BWL Stratocaster, since 2002.

However, the Custom Shop recently built two other signature Strats for him, a #001 prototype in white blonde with an SSS layout, gold anodized guard and gold-plated US Vintage hardware and the "III", a souped-up version of the original BWL with a supercharged HSH configuration, available in Pink Transparent (no pickguard, maple neck) and Caribbean Blue (pearloid pickguard, rosewood fretboard).

The Haruhata III was masterbuilt by Jason Smith, the son of Dan Smith, one of the three former Yamaha employees who bought Fender from CBS in 1985.

The red one is lovely, shame about the Floyd and massive headstock though...

Indeed... if I was the customer, it wouldn't be that specification... but I'm not.

*sigh*
