bigjimmyc Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Hey all. I acquired this today. Google tells me what it's called, but honestly I just liked to look of it! The sound and action are amazingly good. Anyone want to educate me on this instrument? [attachment=222310:IMG_1881 (1).jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 IIRC, it's an early/mid Noughties guitar, the serial no. on the back of the headstock will be "C0*******". Made by Cort (the "C" in the serial) in Korea, next 2 numbers are model year ("04" 2004, "05" 2005 etc). The design comes from the mid/ae 70's when Ibanez wanted to "make their own mark", by bringing out their own design rather than copies of other makes. The Iceman is part Firebird/Thunderbird (shape), part SG (solid mahogany body, set neck). Not to be "mistaken" with the Paul Stanley "PS" model, as he has a hissy-fit if you do (the PS's had a maple cap). There was also a Bolt Neck ICB200 made for a 2 bass, 2 guitar line up in the IC range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigjimmyc Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Here are the rest of them, as requested. My research suggests it's a Chinese model possibly circa 2007? The neck is bolt-on, active preamp on board, it's a real metal machine. I just wish it was a lefty - it's so pretty I might keep it on the wall. BTW, it's strung heavy 110-90-70-50 so I'm keeping it tuned to Eb.

bigjimmyc Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 Sadly this has now gone to a better home. The temptation to order a Warmoth left to replace was huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
