Tonewoods, Fit, and Finish
Crafted from lightweight basswood, the HM Strat’s body offers a warm and resonant tone, perfect for high-gain playing. Finished in gloss urethane, the guitar retains the bold, eye-catching aesthetic of the original 1988 model.

Neck Construction
The maple neck features a thin C-shape profile for fast playing and a smooth satin finish. The rosewood fretboard has a flatter 17" radius, allowing for low action and easier bends across the jumbo frets. The shorter 25.1" scale length reduces string tension, making it easier to fret and bend notes. The HM Strat’s black headstock, adorned with the retro "Strat" logo, adds a distinctive flair that’s bound to turn heads.

Pickups and Electronics
Equipped with an HSS configuration, the HM Strat delivers a powerful tonal palette. The custom HM humbucker in the bridge position provides high-gain distortion, while the two single-coils in the middle and neck maintain the classic Strat sound with added punch. The humbucker’s coil-split feature offers additional tonal flexibility, making it perfect for diverse playing styles.

Hardware and Tremolo System
The HM Strat comes equipped with a Floyd Rose Special double-locking tremolo system, ensuring rock-solid tuning stability, even with aggressive whammy bar use. The sleek, black hardware, including the Gotoh cast/sealed tuners, complements the guitar’s bold aesthetic.

With its vintage-inspired looks and modern upgrades, the Fender Limited-Edition HM Strat is the perfect blend of nostalgia and performance for today’s players.
