Key features

  • Limited Edition model straight from the ‘80s
  • 4 bold retro finishes
  • Distinct HM Strat silk logo on headstock
  • Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo
  • High-output HM pickups, HSS configuration
  • All-black hardware

  • Satin-finished narrow C-shaped neck
  • Super-flat 17" radius fingerboard with rosewood neck

Originally produced between 1988 -1992, the Fender HM Strat was a moderate success during its relatively short production run. Then grunge took over. Once the hair metal movement ended as grunge started to dominate the airwaves, the knock-on effect was that Floyd-equipped "Superstrats" were no longer cool.

But as you'd expect, the HM Strat became a sought-after collectable for keen Fender aficionados, who adored its hot-rodded looks and forward-thinking features. The resurrected HM Strat retains much of the original's DNA. Heck, it's even made in the same factory!

The bridge is a Floyd Rose special so it’s a more cheaper bridge which may cause issues in the future

I love it! I've wanted one of these since I was 15 when the originals came out! I'm not at all disappointed! Lighter than expected, neck is spot on and the radius makes it so easy to bend whole notes! As with Floyd Rose trems it's not the easiest to tune but once you're there it stays in tune perfectly! I can't fault it at all! If I could afford it I'd buy one with a maple fretboard just to compare!

Great guitar, don’t let the HM tag fool you into into thinking it’s a one trick pony, I found it to be very versatile. Only had it a short time so far and the other guitars aren’t getting a look in at the moment.
