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.   Fingersmcoy Username: Fingersmcoy Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Friday, December 29, 2006 - 6:42 pm:    This should be very interesting.Ill leave this one to the experts.For some reason the body looks late 80ish.My style of guitar fo sure. Nice !   Gemberbier Username: Gemberbier Registered: 05-2006 Posted on Friday, December 29, 2006 - 6:47 pm:    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! Ginger   Mr_roadstar Username: Mr_roadstar Registered: 06-2002 Posted on Friday, December 29, 2006 - 8:22 pm:    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.

Very interesting... The Bear   Filc2 Username: Filc2 Registered: 4-2007 Posted on Tuesday, April 10, 2007 - 12:02 am:    Hi Mr_Roadstar .. how did you know it is not a Roadstar neck? It looks so much like the others I see and my RS100 Thanks, Phil
