    A total amateur's adventures in learning some restoration skills with a 1981 Ibanez Blazer

    I recently bought a 1981 Ibanez Blazer that is in need of some TLC, so I've decided that I'm going to teach myself some restoration skills while bringing it back to life.

    I've had a search around the Fender site and a few other serial/dating sites but I can't seem to find a serial number type that matches one I'm looking at on an online auction site.

    looking for black tuners that fit 23/32" peghead holes... any suggestions?
