It's a 1980 and the humbucker (a Bill Lawrence from the look of it) has been modded in. Deadset rad guitar.

@ Pabs that does have some similarities
@ Doc just measure nut to 12th fret should be about 323/324mm if a F type scale
What it looks like is that my mate either got someone to make a new scratchplate for his Blazer, or, he bought it online and had it modded to accept the Humbucking pickup.
