![]() The HM Strat actually feels a little bit lighter than my RGs. I got it in Ice Blue and it's absolutely beautiful. And that's a big compliment coming from a long-time player and fan of Ibanez axes. If you blindfolded me and handed me this guitar, I would have guessed that I was playing one of my six Ibanez RG model shred guitars. a distinctive feature of the original hm strat, the highly-stylized "strat" headstock logo with matching color stripe is faithfully recreated here. allows bridge pickup to be split for more traditional fender sounds. allows subtle vibrato, deep bends and dive bombs to be performed while keeping the instrument perfectly in tune. the slim "c" neck profile has fast action and the super-flat 17" radius fingerboard allows choke-free bends. slim c profile neck with 17" radius fingerboard. custom hm humbucking pickup in the bridge offers punch and sustain perfect for hard rock and heavy metal, while the hm single-coil strat pickups in the neck and middle deliver classic fender tones. the custom strat body features a sharper radius, shaved neck heel and contours for upper fret access. ![]() basswood is a lightweight wood with balanced tone that pairs well with hot humbucking pickups. other features include gotoh tuners, molded 'f' logo knobs and black headcap with highly stylized '80s-era "strat" silk logo. a floyd rose special recessed bridge keeps everything perfectly in-tune even after the deepest dive-bombs and the high-gain hss pickup configuration delivers hot humbucker tones in the bridge that can be split for more traditional strat sounds when combined with the single coil neck and middle pickups. built in the same factory as the original, the hm (for heavy metal) strat features a narrow "c" neck, with unique 25.1" scale, 17" radius maple or rosewood fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets for nearly effortless bends and technical fretwork.

Keep in mind that I am new to electrics, but my 5 star rating is based on not just what I’ve mentioned but the exceptional value that I think this guitar is. Since I know I will stick with this guitar I do want to upgrade to a tube amp to bring out more of what this guitar can sound like. I chose the Fender Champion 40 amp for a starter and it served it’s purpose well. This tele is just for my personal enjoyment. I do play with friends but we are an acoustic group. It’s just simply easy and fun to play and the quality overall is really good. I got online and looked at basic adjustments and tweaked the action and intonation a little. It took a while but I am enjoying this tele immensely. Color is a personal thing…I chose the white. ![]() Since I’ve become used to good high end guitars I wanted good quality without over spending. Got bored over the winter and decided I wanted an electric. I have played acoustic guitars since age 10 and had absolutely no experience with electric guitars.
