Not sure if this is a dead forum or not, but I guess I'll try my luck here.
I recently found a listing for what I think is an HM Strat Ultra on Craigslist, however, there's a criminally low amount of pictures of what these guitars look like on the internet. The listing was a bit vague, and the seller didn't say what year or exact model it was, so I was wondering if anybody could tell from these pictures.
Any other general info would be appreciated!

Hi, I have the exact same model in this colour but the one in the pics is in Red Stone which is a marble like finish, a really great guitar and the previous owner said it was the best strat guitar he had ever played even though he wasn't a fan of Floyds! It does play really nicely and is very resonant. This is one of the later HSS models (around 1990), it's a regular HM Strat rather than an Ultra. Has a DiMarzio Super Distortion 3 in the bridge and 2 USA single coil pickups, but... no coil split on this particular model - it also has just the one TBX instead of 2. Original Floyd Rose bridge on this one as they stopped using Kahler at this time. I actually own the blue frost HM Strat Ultra in the pics on the website. How much is the guy asking for this? Do you have the serial number? Some HM strats develop a hump in the neck where it joins the body so just need to make sure the neck is nice and straight (apart from normal neck relief). I also have an image of the guitar from the original Fender info that is available from the link here app.box.com/s/cndumdn8glz2tpyz3tf5g9mb89tbb58sVideo clip of my HM Strat Ultra and also one of my HM Strats which is the exact same model in your pics is below:
