My Number 1
A perfectly mint 1990 American Made for Export only
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 #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.

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"
