1982 Ibanez Blazer Series solidbody electric, Custom Made, in excellent 100% original condition - in a really cool SONIC BLUE FINISH - with hardshell case. As we all know ;by now, these Japanese electrics are WONDERFUL guitars. Great players - great build quality - great sound. This particular 82 Blazer is a high end model in a RARE COLOR and WITH GOLD PLATED PARTS! Just ran this into a 60s Supro amp, and this Blazer coaxed some rich thick humbucking tones out of that old amp! These are Ibanez V2 pickups - high output - but great clarity, as well. This Blazer plays like a dream - low and fast action - great neck carve, plenty of frets left. The mini toggle functions as a phase switch - we think - when in the bridge and middle positions, creating some thick and bluesy Peter Green like tones. There are minor scratches and dings, but for a 30 YEAR OLD GUITAR, this is in great great shape. This is really a top quality, high end older Ibanez - great sound and playability here!

:mad:





















Nowhere near the worst Ibanez I've ever seen. I'd almost say it wasn't that bad. I wouldn't pay more than $200 for it though.
 
Ibanez guitars from this era are really, really killer. I still have my old roadster II from 1985-6, and it is one of my best guitars. I think the asking price on this one is insane, but they are fine guitars.

I played one just like this at GC a few years ago... was tagged at $400.
 
I like it. I am not sure it is worth $800, but it might be a pretty nice guitar. How did you like the one you played at GC?
 
I'd give it a try.
I don't know that I'd drop $799 on it though based on the comments above and the fact that I already have something with dual humbuckers in it.
 
It's alright. Not a huge fan of super Strats, but I kinda like it. I would never pay that much for it.
 
I was called away when there was only response, and although my POV has been covered I'll post my original thoughts anyway:

The want is very high...absolutely love the guitar and all of its features. Unfortunately I'm dismayed by the price. $799 seems too much for this particular instrument.
 
Kerouac -- where was this beauty listed? There's no way I could afford it right nor would I pay the asking price, but I'm curious...
