I met Pat at a Germs reunion gig in 2009 in Brighton. He was way cool & super friendly, the only time I have ever been star-struck but I hid it well. The gig itself was tiny and I was directly in front of Pat for most of it, could not have been more than 2meters away. My friend and I had the singer (the actor) on our shoulders at times. Such a great memory.

I used to work at Tower Records in Maryland when the Foo’s played a free show there. I waited in the autograph line for Dave and when it was my turn, Dave looked at my empty hands and up to my eyes and I said I didn’t want an autograph, just a handshake. He laughed and said that’s different and shook my hand. I’m freaking out on the inside cuz the drummer of Nirvana just called me different. I walk over to the freight elevator and Pat Smear follows me in and lights a cigarette and looks at me. I looked at him and rolled my eyes like he wasn’t even there. I’ll admit it, I’m not an envious person by nature but I was jealous of him.

I'm sure that you already knew this, but in case you didn't, Pat's new signature Hagstrom had the neck pickup replaced with a P-90 that fits in a humbucker space. Knowing that Pat has been using Seymour Duncan pickups throughout the majority of his later years, I'd feel very comfortable saying that it's probably a Seymour Duncan. I don't know what model S.D. P-90 it is because they "had" a few models through the years. That would have to be addressed when you get the chance to purchase one. As I said, you probably already knew that. But if you didn't, I pray that you get this message and it helps you. Also, thank you for all of the information you have, so kindly given in your videos!

12:10 another reason Kurt always wanted it to be a 4 piece was most of his favorite bands were. I forget where I read it, but Nirvana’s sound was mainly influenced by The Beatles melodic pop hooks, Black Sabbath’s impenetrable heaviness, and The Stooges chaotic intensity. All were 4-pieces for most of their careers. Nirvana always struck me as band that looked and sounded kind of like they were from that same late 60’s/early 70’s era but fell into a time warp and landed in the late 80’s/early 90’s and a lot of their influences, outside of 70’s punk and 80’s alternative, speak to that. That was definitely a time with 4-piece bands were very “in”… and the Germs were also a 4-piece, so there ya go Anyway great video! Pat is not only a living legend but also just a chill guy. He’s proof you can be both!!

Good job on that build. I have 3 Hagstroms currently (two HIIIs from the 60s and a 2005 Swede reissue). I used to buy these guitars all the time when you could get em for about $125 (the 90s), and while I always enjoyed them, they invariably ended up being sold for rent. I must have had half a dozen over the years. Now, I really appreciate these wonderful Swedish instruments. The Chinese reissues are great too. I've ogled a few F20T's over the year, but haven't copped. I love that you found an original neck and did that build. Hagstrom is/was a very special guitar maker. Sorely underappreciated, for the most part. The Swede might be one of the most serious guitars ever built. They don't call it the Les Paul killer for nothing!
