That's badass 👍

No provenance?  Pat won't remember from that period!

I like the offset dots.

Even if he COULD remember that period, it's highly unlikely he'd remember that guitar.  I highly doubt that's ever even been in the same zip code as Pat T.  He's gone on record stating that he loathes Floyds, despite Pat Thrall being an early user.

But by all means, Mr. Seller...just go with your unsubstantiated B.S.  Funny how when this exact guitar was for sale less than a year ago, there was zero mention about Pat. 

[Hbom]

Yeah. And 229638 was probably the only '92 Hamer built in 1982. I'm sure that was just a clerical error.

That invoice looks to be for a refret and pickup change, not a guitar.

So, it's B.S. twice removed?  

[tweed]

Whoa....Wait a minute!  Out of curiosity, I Googled 'Hamer 90's serial numbers' and an old HFC topic popped up from March of 2015. Seems like #2 29638 would be in line for a 90's model.

If anyone here can pull it up, it's got a list from the 70's to the last serial number out the door.

Wish I could do it, but I'm Computer Illiterate. 🤪

The guitar in this color can not be called Californian. Give me O'Connor, or Granite, or at least some solid color, but not this sunburst for heavens sake!

Whoever is selling that is Snorting Whiskey and Drinking Cocaine.

Just made an offer of $2500.00...countered at 3200.00 I'll pass..

They're certainly not "Hooked on Music"...

Thanks for finding that - I recall a recent ad (within the last year) that didn't mention Pat at all.  I still am not seeing anything that connects that to Pat, except for the seller's story.

Exactly.  I'd have a better time with my Melody Maker as Pat actually played it and wanted to buy it from me.  But I have no proof either.

I'd buy it but I already have a closet full of guitars that "may" have been built for Pat Travers.  Or maybe it was Eddie Van Halen?  Would you believe Jeff Beck?

Or a two fingered model for Django!

If Pat didn't want the damn thing, neither do I! 😁
