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

yeah cool Doc what a cool project !

Cheers mate, hopefully the guitar should sound great once it's all up and running, I'm guessing that the neck is a Fender Scale 25.5 inch type, therefore Fender Strat setup specs should work fine.
Yeah, I agree, it's not very often that you get to work on one of these, you should see some of the other guitars my mate has, the last time I was at his place he got me to install a new mini CTS pot in his Suzuki LP guitar, he was really happy to get it working again.
@ 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.
On the underside of the Humbucker there's a little sticker with some handwriting on it that reads "L500L", so I'm assuming that the Humbucking pickup is probably a Bill Lawrence L500L.
