HM Strat, "Heartfield Talon Version":

CONDITION

BODY
:
Very good. The black finish has very few dings along it's edges, and a few light scratches, yet still looks appealing in a bad-ass way. The worst dent is on the back edge. I've pictured them all.

NECK:
In Excellent shape, perhaps near-mint. The neck has hardly any wear, and no dents or dings. You have to look very hard to see any sign of fret wear. In fact, I would call this neck MINT. Its Gotoh tuners work like new, as does the Floyd Rose locking nut. There is NO dents or divots on the pointy headstock!!!
SOUND:
Metal heads delight - yet versatile. You can get a nearly stock Strat sound from the middle pickup (which itself is a little hotter than a standard Strat), but the Dimarzio neck and bridge pickups are VERY hot and wail for soloing. I do not know exactly which model of Dimarzio pickups these are. All pots and the switch are noise-free. THE REST:
This HM Strat is all-original except for the knobs. That genuine Floyd Rose bridge works well, and the original screw-on Floyd Rose tremolo bar is included. Tuning stability is rock-solid on this guitar. The pickguard has a bit of wear and pickmarks, nothing out of the ordinary. This is a guitar for a serious lead guitarist, listed at a price that is less than what you would expect to pay for a stock, used American Strat - which would would need lots of upgrades to match this Strat's sound. Do the math! THE PRICE INCLUDES:
The 1991 HM Strat itself and its original tremolo bar. I will include a pretty beat up but well fitted Ibanez hard case.
Why buy from me?
Check my feedback. I will sell nothing I would not buy myself. You WILL NOT be disappointed.
