The limited-edition Fender HM Strat sports the same look and specs that helped the '88 and '92 models, compete with the hot-rodded Strat impersonators of the day.

Built in the same factory as the original, the HM (for Heavy Metal) Strat features a narrow "C" neck, with unique 25.1" scale, 17" radius rosewood fingerboard and 24 jumbo frets for nearly effortless bends and technical fretwork.

A Floyd Rose Special recessed bridge keeps everything perfectly in-tune even after the deepest dive-bombs. The high-gain HSS pickup configuration delivers hot bridge humbucker tones with a coil split. Single-coils in the neck and middle produce a slightly overwound classic Strat sound.

Other features include Gotoh tuners, molded "F" logo knobs and black headcap with highly stylized '80s-era "STRAT" silk logo.
