Fender Limited Edition HM Stratocaster Electric Guitar, RW FB, Ice Blue

The limited - edition HM Stratocaster is a remarkable electric guitar. It has the same eye - catching look and top - notch specs as the ’88 - 92 models, which once outshone the imitators. Built in the original factory, this HM (Heavy Metal) Strat features a thin “C” neck. With a unique 25.1” scale and a 17” radius rosewood fingerboard having 24 Jumbo frets, it allows for easy bends and complex fretwork. The Floyd Rose Special recessed bridge keeps the guitar perfectly in - tune, even after the most intense playing. The high - gain HSS pickup configuration offers powerful humbucker tones in the bridge. You can split it for more classic Strat sounds when combined with the single - coil neck and middle pickups. Other highlights are the Gotoh tuners, moulded ‘F’ logo knobs, and a black headcap with a stylish ‘80s - era “STRAT” silk logo.

Using your Fender Limited Edition HM Stratocaster is a breeze. First, tune it up using the Gotoh tuners. They're reliable and will keep your guitar in good pitch. Plug it into your amplifier and start strumming. You can switch between the different pickup settings to get the sound you want. The high - gain HSS pickup configuration gives you a lot of options, from hot humbucker tones to more traditional Strat sounds. When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar in the deluxe gig bag when you're not using it. This will protect it from dust and scratches. Wipe down the strings after each use with a soft cloth to prevent corrosion. And every few months, check the bridge and the tuning machines to make sure they're tight and working properly. Here are some important notes. Avoid exposing your guitar to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can damage the wood and the electronics. Also, be careful when using the Floyd Rose Special bridge. While it's great for keeping the guitar in - tune, it can be a bit tricky to adjust. If you're not sure, it's best to take it to a professional guitar technician.
