THE ICONIC HM STRAT IS BACK!

Famously wielded by virtuoso guitarist Greg Howe on his 1992 REH Hot Rock Licks instructional video, the short-lived ‘88-‘92 run of heavy metalfriendly Strats were very much tailored to an era of super shredders.

Famous for their extreme playability and bold color schemes, the line has finally been revived. The new models offer a basswood body, Gotoh tuners, a HSS pickup configuration with a coil split switch for the bridge pickup, a Floyd Rose locking tremolo and 24 jumbo frets.

Of course, these latest versions wouldn’t be the same without a black headcap and that infamous ‘80s stylised Fender logo on the headstock.
