The Iceman Cometh

Fingers657

Tomorrow.
I had bad GAS yesterday when I came across the Ibanez Twin Peaks WAH pedal and while watching a few videos on it I got more GAS because of the blue Ibanez Iceman IC420 ABM.
So ended ringing round for a good price ordering one and it arrives tomorrow .
This is my first ever Ibanez guitar.

I’ve never seen one of those before. But I like it. Space age explorer vibes

Excellent. Enjoy! The Iceman is a top-tier body shape, and I’m sure this new line is great value.

They always remind me of KISS and the '70s

Thanks I’m looking forward to having some fun with it.

Hopefully it will be as good if not better than my blue Tommy Thayer.

It's one of the few 'shape' guitars I've ever liked (mainly due to Tom G. Warrior from Celtic Frost using one Back In The Day™)...holding out for an IC400 here though.

The Iceman arrived earlier and I was surprised at the size of it.
I was expecting it to be much bigger when In fact  It just has a longer headstock.
The only fault with it is where Ibanez fit the back strap button.
It needs to be higher up past the pointy bit.
Ive added a poker chip.
I really like the guitar.

I picked one of the older cheaper ones up a few weeks back a PS60 I think it is. 

Really well put together instrument with a nicely profiled neck. Classic rock sounds are easy and the tuning/ intonation is solid.

The Iceman Arriveth!  HNGD - very nice.

I used to have an old Ibanez 2663 Artist - a kind of proto-Iceman - in the late '70s.  It was a great thing and like the total fucktard I am, I flogged it in a moment of utter madness.

Oh go on then

Super cool!

Lovely stuff @Fingers657 it's a gorgeous blue.
I still regret selling my PS10 all those years ago, I would happily have an Iceman in my life again

AK99

Yeah - one of the all time classics shapes, and much underrated imho. First time I ever saw Rick Neilson's one (which I think was actually maybe a Greco Mirage ?..) I was hooked.

Beautiful things. Enjoy that one of yours Fingers

I started making this Iceman for myself in 1996 and am finally getting round to moving to getting it finished 

Here it is as of tonight

I saw Kevin Spacey in it at the Old Vic in '98....

Just a concept at this stage, I thought I could get a black seven-string Iceman and have it refinished Schenker style.  They have a second-hand one for £799 at GAK.  I figure I need to play one first to see how it handles:

Still not calling you "the space Cowboy" though even with a vintage IC210
