FENDER SAYS
Nothing succeeds like success. Which is why all of the fancy finger-work in Greg Howe's second hit album, High Gear, is performed on the Fender HM Series Strat guitar. Greg considers his endorsement a serious matter. And the feel of the 24-fret, 2-octave, fast-action neck, convinced him that this instrument is for serious guitarists. He likes the security the Floyd Rose licensed Kahler locking tremolo system gives him. And Fenders TBX controls, tied to a special DiMarzio humbucker — exclusive to Fender — and two of our American Standard Strat single coils, give him the sonic variety needed to keep everyone interested. There's only one place you can get this Strat. Come in and try it at your authorized Fender dealer. Tell them Greg Howe Sent you.

US HM Strat "made in the USA", bright white finish. It's indistinguishable from the first HM Strat series, that was made in Japan. In fact, the serial number that starts with "E" and the neck plate "Fender USA" engraved (which does not necessarily mean "made in USA") are also found on MIJ HM guitars.
