href="/wiki/Fender_Musical_Instruments_Corporation" class="mw-redirect" title="Fender Musical Instruments Corporation">Fender Musical Instruments</a> from 1988 until 1992. A relatively radical departure from <a href="/wiki/Leo_Fender" title="Leo Fender">Leo Fender</a>'s classic <a href="/wiki/Stratocaster" class="mw-redirect" title="Stratocaster">Stratocaster</a> design, it was Fender's answer to <a href="/wiki/Superstrat" title="Superstrat">Superstrats</a> produced by manufacturers such as <a href="/wiki/Jackson_Guitars" title="Jackson Guitars">Jackson Guitars</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ibanez" title="Ibanez">Ibanez</a>.

Some sources say production started as early as 1984. Subsequently, in 1989, it was produced in the <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a>. Some evidence indicates that assembly in the U.S. with components imported from Japan may have begun as early as 1987. </p><p><b>First Version</b> - The first version appeared with a distinct <i>Strat</i> logo in the <a href="/wiki/Headstock" title="Headstock">headstock</a>, 24 thicker and wider "medium jumbo" frets, a maple neck with <a href="/wiki/Rosewood" title="Rosewood">rosewood</a> or <a href="/wiki/Maple" title="Maple">maple</a> <a href="/wiki/Fingerboard" title="Fingerboard">fingerboard</a> and with one of the four neck "bolts" (screws) off-set at the bottom of the neck to allow a more comfortable "heel" area for playing in the upper registers, a lighter <a href="/wiki/Basswood" class="mw-redirect" title="Basswood">basswood</a> body, or occasionally <a href="/wiki/Alder" title="Alder">alder</a> for US made guitars). The scale length is an even 25 inches (635 mm), rather than the normal 25.5 inches (648 mm) commonly used on <a href="/wiki/Stratocaster" class="mw-redirect" title="Stratocaster">Stratocaster</a> and <a href="/wiki/Telecaster" class="mw-redirect" title="Telecaster">Telecaster</a> guitars. Pickup configurations included one <a href="/wiki/DiMarzio" title="DiMarzio">DiMarzio</a> humbucker "Super 3" pickup in the bridge position ("H" configuration), two humbucker pickups at the bridge and neck positions (HH configuration), or one humbucker at the bridge and two <a href="/wiki/Single_coil" class="mw-redirect" title="Single coil">single coil</a> pickups at the middle and neck positions (HSS configuration). In addition, the Fender HM Strat had a licensed double-locking Kahler Spyder tremolo system, <a href="/wiki/Gotoh" class="mw-redirect" title="Gotoh">Gotoh</a> tuners, and a side-mounted jack socket. </p><p>Japanese-assembled guitars have colored <a href="/wiki/Polyester" title="Polyester">polyester</a> on the bodies, and clear polyester on the necks. American-assembled HM Strats have a very hard aircraft grade <a href="/wiki/Polyurethane" title="Polyurethane">urethane</a> color and clear coats on the body, while still using a polyester finish on the neck. </p><p><b>Second Version</b> - The US HM series stratocasters were produced in 1990 (possibly late 1988 with Japanese sourced components) and included the Strat 10-3200 (i.e. cont. strat, HSS), 10-2100 (HSS), 10-2102 (HSS), 10-2200 (1 silver sensor, H), 10-2300 (HH) and 10-2400 (H) models. All HM strat US made models had a scale length of 25.15 inches (639 mm) and a fingerboard radius of 17 inches (431.8 mm). </p><p><b>HM Strat Ultra</b> - Later on (in around 1990), Fender introduced the USA HM Strat Ultra that is considered by many to be superior to the previous HM versions. Fender HM Strat ultra differs in that it has 4 <a href="/wiki/Lace_Sensor" title="Lace Sensor">Lace Sensor</a> pickups in HSS configuration (these pickups are considered less noisy/aggressive and sometimes less preferred for HM Strat than those found in the Fender HM Strat),<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources"><span title="This citation requires a reference to the specific page or range of pages in which the material appears.

The building that contained the equipment was not part of the sale, so the plant was relocated. During this period, when there was little to no production of instruments in the U.S., Fender imported instruments made by <a href="/wiki/Fender_Japan" title="Fender Japan">Fender Japan</a>/<a href="/wiki/FujiGen" class="mw-redirect" title="FujiGen">FujiGen</a>, many of which were the <a href="/wiki/Fender_Contemporary_Stratocaster_Japan" title="Fender Contemporary Stratocaster Japan">"Contemporary" Stratocasters</a> and Telecasters. These were sold in the U.S., along with "vintage" spec models, from 1985 on up almost through the end of the HM Strat era. Thus, it is not unusual that a Fender HM strat may have Japanese-made components (e.g. neck) assembled in the US. </p><p>The Contemporary Stratocaster was eventually supplanted by the HM Strat in 1988, which went through subsequent versions. The first U.S. Fender Superstrat was the adaptation of the Japanese HM Strat, plus the addition of the U.S. Contemporary Stratocaster, in 1989. </p><p>However, this model was also opposed by Fender <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/purist" class="extiw" title="wikt:purist">purists</a> as its features were "off the Fender's beaten track". The use of a humbucker (instead of a single coil), 24 jumbo frets (instead of 21 or 22 regular frets) and occasionally basswood (instead of the typical <a href="/wiki/Alder" title="Alder">alder</a> or <a href="/wiki/Ash_tree" class="mw-redirect" title="Ash tree">ash</a>) as well as the overall appearance were not particularly welcomed by most conservative Fender fans. Today, a well-maintained Fender HM Strat becomes increasingly rare to find. As with most discontinued instruments, however, this guitar is also hard to maintain. For instance, although Kahler USA provides product support for the Kahler Spyder tremolo parts, various other components of this guitar such as knobs are currently unavailable. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Notable_users">Notable users</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Fender_HM_Strat&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Notable users"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Fender HM strat was endorsed by <a href="/wiki/Greg_Howe" title="Greg Howe">Greg Howe</a>.
