This is a late eighties early nineties Fender hm Strat. I believe in this era all of the HM Strat were American Parts but a assembled in Japan. These were fenders heavy metal guitar versions during that time. This thing screams and sounds unbelievable. This snack is a flamed neck. It is in good condition with a few swirls, scratches, and a couple of very small paint chips but overall still in very good quality. Even though this guitar is in good condition it is sold as is where is. Ships and United States only. The guitars neck Maybe taking off and shipped together into pieces to help on shipping costs and to ensure that it is not damaged during shipping. If you wish to have it arrive in one piece just email me and I will do so.
