Ibanez blazer series: that is what is written on the head of the handle. I do not know what is the exact type for cons.
Body solid wood and quite heavy
Start style maple neck
2 humbuckers
Made in Japan
Finish: varnished wood, very basic
Aesthetic very average at the origin
Purchased in 1981 (one of the first models in advance)
I put 5 in comparison to what can be found today (but over 81 or there was not much choice, I would much 8 ratio Q / P)

UTILIZATION

The light is the must-have for me this guitar is its neck, and even today, despite the wear of the frets, it remains my favorite fast, comfortable ... and a little tired today, but it is even better.
Body more rustic and less ergonomic than a Start.
The mechanical work perfectly and are beautifully agreement, and the bridge, even if the oxidation does not spared, is perfect.
I note 9 to this fabulous round, although retro (but which may not correspond to some fans of modern fabric)

SOUNDS

Original sound of two-fold: it was not bad at all (Péchu, good in full, but a tone lower in the clear with highs sometimes "nasal"
Today I messed. I, installed two doubles and added a single, while Seymour Duncan vintage, well shielded and rewired all the electronics, etc. .. split and I now have a panel of nine different sound that really allows me to go anywhere (well, as long as my technique allows me ... because I have not found a method for rapidly customizing my fingers)
Add to this an aesthetic correction (painting, pikguard) and the beautiful does not suffer any complex next to her younger sisters to the most prestigious brands, with no wrinkles, but have requested another budget to purchase.
Note the original: 7
Current rating: 9.5

OVERALL OPINION

Today is my favorite. Of course the "1700 francs" to buy in 1981, the customization has certainly doubled its price, but to find the equivalent in trade, though I look ... This is an important point to note: I sincerely believe that this guitar has the potential to be greatly improved.
Well ... I admit that the sentimental side that binds me to this guitar may be my wrong decision, but I wish all the guitar to find (with often modest budget of a young guitarist) which the musical accompaniment for many years ... What a pleasure to look at his "old" guitar, very worn, and it said "it was I who did it."
