1980 Ibanez BL-300 Blazer Series Stratocaster SN: I801304Condition: Very GoodColor: NaturalBreaks Or Repairs: NoCase: Original Hardshell Case (Rare)Weight: 6 lbs 5 ozNotes: Made In JapanFor your consideration Tidewater Vintage brings to you this first year 1980 Ibanez Model BL300 Blazer Series Stratocaster with the ultra-rare original hardshell case!Many professional musicians will argue that the 1970s-1980s Ibanez MIJ Strat's where built better and sound supreme over the same-era American-made Fender Stratocasters and I agree! They just have an all-around better feel in my opinion.Overall condition is Very Good showing normal wear, scratches and chips as you would expect to see in a used-but-not-abused guitar and absolutely nothing that detracts from the asthetics whatsoever. All electronics, tuners, controls and switches work as they should and the frets show little wear.The Blazer series is a line of solid body electric guitar and bass models produced by Hoshino Gakki and sold under the Ibanez brand. It was introduced in 1980 and offered for three years.
