So this just happened...
Trying to stay away from stuff like this but .... it cost me about as much as a box of Heiniken, I had to.

1981 Ibanez Blazer in natural Ash. Fretboard is pretty clean for a maple of this Era and the paint job comes free

It's been a while between Roadstar / Blazer vibes and these are fantastic players in my opinion... so on the refinish pile she goes.

Oh hell yes!
Great score.

Love it! Even despite the fact its not an Eastman.

Are they scale positions on the fretboard?

It was an early version of the Fretlight concept.

No but there are marks that look like paint? I had to clean some off, some still left though.

I have a 1980 version. If you're going to change anything don't throw out the parts, I'll take them for spares. The out of phase toggle switch is broken on mine so I'd like a genuine replacement.

horrendous paint job. Very cool guitar. I have a bass from that series.

Um.. If I'd paid a box of beers equivalent for it I'd probably leave the paint job. It's a little bit cool.


Yeah, yeah, I know: Good from far, far from good.

Ha, the paint job looks great in the pic.... it's really terrible. Smudges to thick overlaps to woodgrain.

Replacement headstock decal incoming. Will see where it all leads.

Not a worry, will see what happens with it.

Hey, on closer inspection, yes! It looks like positions were definitely marked out. Looks like minor pentatonic but so much has rubbed off.

Good ol tin foil shielding

Woot. Voodoo decals. Quick turnaround, quality decals.
