Fender HM Strat / 1986-87, Japan / Greg Howe Parallax + Original Hard Case + Shipping in EU!

I`m selling a very collector and rare gutiar - Fender HM (Heavy Metal) Strat, HH version, Made in Japan, FujiGen plant, circa 1986-1987.
This is a rare beauty in very good condition, especially HH layout is very hard to find, comparing with more common SSH version.
Greg Howe has used a similar guitar in his albums "Uncertain Terms" and "Parallax" - check the rear CD covers.
Greg has modded his Strat with Seymour Duncan pick-up and scalopped the frets. He also exchanged the tone control and 3-way toggle switch.
My guitar is in original layout - no modification, only back plate is not original, but the present one fits perfect.

Fender HM strats are produced between 1988-1992 in Japan/USA.
The Fender HM strat was originally produced in Japan.
Some sources say production started as early as 1984.
Subsequently, in 1989, it was produced in the United States.
Some evidence indicates that assembly in the U.S. with components imported from Japan may have begun as early as 1987.

The serial number has been removed during the years, but I have the original Fender card with stamped serial number.
As per serial number F024643 - checked at Guitar Data Project :

Your guitar was made at the
Fuji-gen Plant (for Fender Japan), Japan in 1986 - 1987
Production Number: 24643

Frets are leveled and recrowned from professional guitar tech.
There a few small dings and little scratches, normal signs of wear for 30 years old guitar.
I can provide detailed photos by request!
Very fast and comfortable neck.
This guitar produce solid sound suitable for wide range of musical styles.
