1990hollow-t

I finally located after many years of searching a 1988 TAG catalog along with the 1987 body/neck price guide plus 1990 guitar model sheets to go with my 1990 Hollow-t(original headstock variety)!
Good old ebay came up trumps with a sale in the south of England for this lot.Bidding started at £0.99 and ended at £10.49 when an American ebayer jumped in!
The only other item I now need is the original case.Does anyone know who made the guitar cases in 1990?I had a 1991 and remember it as being black Tolex with black lining.My guitar is housed in a hard Fender case currently,which just ain't right.
Tom(if you're there),did guitars from 1990 have fretboard protector sleeves and the handwritten spec sheet/tag?
I'm pretty sure also that the Hollow-T(GrandAm Lam) guitar on the 1990 model sheet was the exact same guitar that was supplied to Chandlers(UK) and reviewed here in Guitarist magazine(APR 1990).I'll double check when I get home.I narrowly missed owning that in 1990 and 1993!
I saw the review of the guitar,fell in love....saved up £1300( I was 20yrs old then) and rang Doug Chandler to see if it was still for sale,but I had missed it!I then ordered the next available similar guitar which arrived with the new headstock shape some time later(my friend now owns that one).
To add to the pain of missing the review guitar initially,I visited the London Guitar Show a couple of years later and was chatting to Doug about Anderson guitars when he mentioned that he'd just resold the original review guitar for £1000!Damn,double damn.It was a long sad drive back out of London!There was such a lack of communication between customers and dealers in the dark days before the internet!
So if anyone out there has that one shoot me an email....cash waiting £££'s!
I'd also dearly love the blonde '52 Tele looking ProAm Classic T-type in blond from 1990....again anyone have a spare I would reward you with a wad of ££'s....I'm serious!
Tom,how many ProAm Classic T-types in blond with black guards do you estimate that you made back then?It would be of great help so I know just how difficult the search may be!Like impossible or highly unlikely! :)
thanks in advance,
Peter.
