DiMarzio Super 3 - variation of the Super Distortion with chopped highs and boosted mids. You got an incredible deal, my friend!

I'm wondering what size the truss rod nut is on this guitar.  |

Hello everyone. Proud owner of 3 HM strats - all single humbucker. One tourquoise, one white, one hot pink. All with Kahler autolatches. Pictures someday.

Hello everyone. My first "real guitar" was a Razz Berry HM I bought in 1988. I played the living shit out of it. It fell out of trucks, got knocked over, broken, patched back up, frankensteined with other guitars until finally...there was nothing left of it but a handful of parts that I sold on Ebay.
I've always kept an eye out for a replacement, but have only recently decided to make it a MISSION to replace it!
I've been through many guitars. I love the Ibanez AM103BM I play through now, but that Strat was always my fav.

Hello everyone from central Arkansas. Just recently did some gear swapping and one piece I got was a blue HSS, Floyded HM Strat. I'd always wanted one someday, so since the opportunity arose I snapped at it. If the serial is supposed to be at the butt end of the neck, then it's MIA - as in missing in action. I'll post a pic of it when I can. It's seen some action, that's for sure.

Hello all, MJ from Minnesota, found your site here while looking for advice on doing a self restore on my HM, which I have owned for about 20 years now, I played the crap out of it (no pun intended when you see the pics), and I was thinking of custom painting, and took it completely apart, now after a few years of procrastinating, I am wanting to redo it, Mine is the cream colored, with the lipstick "Strat" emblem, however, I was also wondering about replacement parts, for example, 5 position switch, coil split switch, vol/tone knobs, electronically, I want to keep the pickups stock, except for a seymour duncan single coil for the neck pos. I absolutely love the guitar, and really want it to be playable again. I also have a few other guitars, a Mex - strat with two HBs, a flame maple tele, with humbuckers, and a neckthrough design, Ibanez S-series, Cort Sterling, Precision Bass, and a strat-like Martin called a Stinger. Anyway, looking forward to getting some tips on the project as I stumble forward.  |

Hi John - I have one just like that but with a Kahler. Nice axe! Thanks! It's pretty versatile. I need to adjust the tremolo, but otherwise it's in excellent condition. I bought this one new around 1991 or 1992. My only issue is I've got to be careful not to accidentally rest my hand on the tremolo while playing-not a good sound  . I guess that's just the price you pay when you have a tremolo. How do you like the Kahler? Out of the thousands of HM Strat photos on the web, I've only seen one or two others with the same headstock and just 2 knobs. Do you know if there really are a bunch of these floating around out there, or are they a rarity? |
