I bought this guitar second hand in 1985. It was around the time of the Blazer/Roadstar, but the headstock bears neither model name. It simply says "Custom Made Ibanez electric guitar".

It looks a lot like the RS315CS's I have seen on the web, but the head is different and certainly the bridge is different. It has a single V2 humbucker, volume and tone pot.

Serial number K821019.

I thought after owning it for 20 odd years, I had best establish exactly what it is. If anyone has any ideas, greatly apprecaited.

Sometime ago, we saw a mix of the ST(udio) and BL(azer), the SB70, but an SB is NOT what it is.
The body is BLAZER, the neck is BLAZER.

I found something about a BLAZER BL50 with one humbucker, but the picture on eBay is not available any more.
I think we must search in that direction: BL50.
What a lovely piece of wood!

It's definitely a Blazer neck. The logo is modified just like the neck used on the SB70. Another one of those "rescue" models.

It is absolutely NOT a Roadstar.

The pickup is a neck position Super70 ( the adjustable poles are inboard). Very interesting...
