The BL1025 is a Blazer series solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 1997. It was produced in Japan by FujiGen.
The Blazer series is a line of guitars with styling similar to the Fender Stratocaster.
The BL1025 features an asymmetrical, double cutaway alder body bolted to quartersawn hard rock maple multi-radius neck with a hand-applied oil finish and a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with dot position markers. Specially designed JL/ Daisensei pickups are installed in a pearloid pickguard with a pair of humbuckers flanked by a single-coil with a special 5-way selector and a push-pull coil split on the tone control to allow authentic single-coil tones. Other components include a Wilkinson non-locking synchronized tremolo bridge, a graphite nut, knurled metal dome knobs, and Sperzel locking tuners.
The neck of the BL1025 goes through six additional steps of oiling and hand finishing to offer the utmost comfort and playability.
The BL825 is a similar model with a different bridge and without the extra neck detailing.
The BL1025 was discontinued after 1998 along with the entire Blazer line.
