Here's mine:

Bought in Sept 1988
HSS
Rosewood
Black
Kahler Spyder
s/n E840681
owner: Craig L

Replaced the original humbucker with an EMG81. Had a friend wire it so I could use the stock single coils. Then upgraded the neck pickup to an EMG SA and removed the middle pup.

Hello First Post I have a HM E904083 H/S/S configuration. It is black, has a Kahler Spyder, 24 fret rosewood fretboard, low profile neck looks like maple, Gotoh tuners, I have done no modifications other than replacing the input jack, paid 150 in a pawn shop back in 2002. Man does this thing scream!

Yes, you're right. These are contemporary Strats, MIJ, kind of the fore runner to the HM and share many of the same features.
Beautiful guitars though, especially like the sunburst one!

[sineglaziy]

what do you guys mean these guitars are made in Japan, dosent the back plate say USA?

[stratznhatz]

Yes, HM's have the same neck plate (except black) and while it says USA the majority of them were MIJ, I think assembly shifted to the USA later on but still using Japanese parts.
If you go to the HM Strat pages homepage and click on background, then click on model descriptions and serial no. list it gives you the full story there.
