Read this on strat-central
-------------------------------
Remarks: This type of guitar can be recognised by it having a humbucker and two single coils, a large Strat logo, 3 controls, a 5-way selector, 1 coil switch, no pickguard, and a large Strat logo on the headstock. The only way to distinguish the "Japanese HM Power Strat second version" from the US-made "US HM Strat first version" is by comparing serial numbers. Japanese axes should have serials starting with K, L, or even M. American guitars should have serials starting with E.
----------------------------------
I've read here HM's are 98% Japanese made.
Is mine US made with an E9 serial?
