My Number 1
A perfectly mint 1990 True American Made
HM Strat with the OEM Floyd Rose trem (not the Kahler copy)
I have added custom pups & switches, but have retained all the stock gear in the event I ever decide to make it look 100% original again.
My most recent acquisition
2011 Les Paul Studio
Black Hardware, Grover Tuners, and push/pull coil splitters on
both pups
A little
something my wife bought me a few months ago...
MIM Seafoam Green Strat that somebody somewhere loved because it
is set-up better than any guitar I have ever owned!
This was a
long time coming... After literally 6 or so years I finally had
those new pups
installed in the old Heartfield. Strangely enough it really
didn't change much of the tone
The family
circa 2002
current
rack, old school is the new cool :-)
Twins!
My #2 a 1989
MIJ HM strat almost identical to my MIA HM (above)
It's got a few nicks, but at least I won't worry about dingin it
like I do my perfectly mint one.
12/03/01 I finally took it to the shop to have the new pups & switch installed.
12/07/01 Got it back!
My new Blue LED Starrswitch (truly one of a kind as I had it made just for me with the blue leds) I'm going to take the original red one & put it in the HM strat I bought yesterday (01/12/01 pictured above) that is 100% identical to this one even down to the Floyd Rose trem & lettering on the headstock.

Only I would post a picture of guitar picks...
Other People's HM strats & a little bit of info
The HM strats were
made from 86-92 & came in 5 different pick-up
configurations & two different models with different
headstocks & bodies, as
can be seen in the promo page link below
The pup configs were:
H single humbucker only
H/S
H/H dual humbuckers
H/ tilted S + tele pickguard (very rare &
very ugly) click here to view an example
& the most common H/S/S (just like my
personal HM's at the top of the page)
Note: There are both MIA & MIJ models wearing "Made in
USA" neck plates &
both with Kahler & Floyd Rose trems depending on the year of
production.
The True American Made HM's start with the letter "I" in the serial #, while the Japanese models mostly started with an "E"
