1994 Ibanez Iceman IC350

1994 Ibanez Iceman IC350.

Fitted with a 1977 DiMarzio Super Distortion Pickup! Ibanez really struck gold in the Iceman guitar. It’s a guitar that looks a beautiful as it does aggressive, and unlike most iconic guitars it isn’t pinned to any genre of music. From the glam rock of Paul Stanley to the alt-metal of Darren Malakian and beyond, and everyone in between, the Iceman transverses time, space and genre - much like a frozen Neanderthal (joke implied).

This guitar has seen work, and it shows. Which is a great indicator of how good it sounds and plays. Stock pickups are gone and that’s a GOOD THING because they weren’t that amazing, and in their place a single Circa 1977 DiMarzio Super Distortion it’s in the bridge position. The DeMarzio came out of a 1977 Fender Telecaster Deluxe which had it installed when purchased new, and the back plate stamping is consistent with late 70’s super distortion (“DiMarzio Pickups” with no “Made in USA” - which indicates 1974-1977). It makes sense to put a 1977 pickup in an Iceman given they first hit the market in 1977. It just makes this guitar special.

Other mods:

• tuners upgraded to brand new Grover’s
• locking nut locks long gone (tune like a non locking guitar - make life with a Floyd rose bearable
• 3 way switch is fully removed from circuit as it is redundant 
  

This guitar does not come with a case or gig bag.
