Supposedly this guitar would have been made for Vernon Reid and the neck carved thinner than the regular profile afterwards upon Vernon’s request. 
Indeed strange that there is no serial #

Would be nice if an former Hamer luthier could confirm :)

More likely an Anthrax fan did it.  Even if it were made for Reid, it would have a serial number.

It would look at home in Mr. Reid's collection, but the two I saw when I met him 15 years ago had serial numbers and form-fit flight cases.

There would also be a photo of him playing it somewhere...

Gonna go out on a limb and call that a refin.  Serial number would have been ink stamped on the headstock.  That's all I got.

thanks!

That guitar has absolutely ZERO to do with Vernon Reid, except for an unscrupulous seller making a BS claim.

 

It's a mid-80s (early style) Chapparal, as mentioned above with an aftermarket, kind of amateurish, paint job. 

Cool guitar, but definitely not a Vernon guitar.

Verily.  IIRC, all of Vernon's Hamers had his name on the headstock, as well.
