That was one of the most imotive intro jams I have ever heard Henning play before the Wah. Loved it. He seems to have really gelled with this instrument.
I used to tour with an IC 400 Tobacco Burst that had a set neck. Loved that axe. Ive got the neckthrough ICB 700 now as a road axe loaded with custom pickups a friend wound for me, and its almost perfect. I might pick one of these up just because!
I have a 70 s Iceman I got used Mahogany body, maple neck rosewood fingerboard and Super 80 humbuckers etc I love it It sounds different than my Les Paul, but yeah, it’s generally in the same category It maybe be larger, but it is the most comfortable guitar I have ever played Nice to see Ibanez reissuing something like this
I hate that they released these JUST after I bought the budget Paul Stanley signature because I really wanted an affordable Iceman. I don't even like Kiss!
@@Dr.Jekyll Strongly disagree. Gloss black is as generic as it gets, and I took the mirror pickguard and bridge piece off immediately after unboxing. I will say, I can't fault the quality at the price point. But I'm still selling it and replacing it with an IC420.
I got myself one in "autumn burst». it`s an very slinky and easy played guitar with low action straight from the box. The humbuckers, (especially the bridge) sounds PAF-like and really nice. Incredible value and great unexpected quality you get for the price for it. - I love it so much!!
I love the Ibanez Ice Man guitar model and this one looks stunning . The pickups superfly 80's they are the ones i have in my Ibanez AR725 VLS and all i can say is they sound amazing . I sold my Gibson Les Paul Standard 3 years ago to buy my Ibanez AR725 VLS and i don't have any regrets at all . Yes i do have plans to buy another Gibson Les Paul Standard . That guitar as you say can easily compete with much more higher price guitars in sound and product quality. I think Ibanez have the best guitars quality for the price alongside with Yamaha . Those knobs are much more precise compared to others, i personality love how they look on that guitar .
I've had an Ibanez Musician my Dad bought for me on my 18th birthday for £180 (worth near £2k now wow) and it was my main gigging guitar throughout 35 years of playing after. Now I have always wanted an Iceman as they are cool as fook - and they are Ibanez. Best Japanese guitar maker ever and - while this is not made in Japan - I will still be buying one. Love it.
Lol loved this part @5:46 "You'll never use the tone on this. Don't be stupid!". Literally thought the same while rewiring (more like snipping the wires) to omit the tone circuit in my V while reading a forum post with guys arguing about 50s vs 60s tone wiring. 😂😂😂 Hope they release these in some other colors though...
I am so let down that they have ONE colour option for this guitar. It's absolute insanity. It feels like they have done it on purposed thinking "well we cant give them everything for the price' Wake up Ibanez! You have a chance to dominate the market. Who in the hell is giving you guys this crap advice. Get6 them out whoever it is!
Ooh boy, I hope that some store in my country bring this guitar. I got a 1978 IC100 1 year ago from a pawnshop. Y had looking for it for years, my fav guitar. If they bring it here, it would be the first all new guitar that I'll buy in years. Nice review.
I've wanted one of these for over 40 years and now I can get one new. Time to sell off a few of my cheaper guitars and buy that baby. Great video review mate :)
@@quickwashtheraccoon7601 not magic, but no issues, make sure the nut and bridge have the slots cut properly, and rub a bit of pencil in them when you change strings It’s not rocket science Modded, you mean mine or yours? If yours, maybe that’s why it won’t stay in tune If mine, yes modded, but original nut, and Schaller machine heads, not locking.
Awesome dude! Great track too! Great shredding as well. Love the Iceman since '78...can't wait to get a blue one. I got a sunburst from GuitarGuitar last month. I really like these new IC420s. Glad to see them back. 😍😍 👍👍 12:00 great fast playing
Ibanez got big with knockoff models in the seventies, and the Iceman was their most successful original. €699 is a good value for money. Well done Ibanez!
I absolutely love mine, and did buy because I'm a huge Les Paul fan, and love this shape as well. Great guitar. Price is nutso for what you get. Highly recommended.
40 years ago this was my first "professional" guitar, and it was stolen after a few months. Now after 40 years I can buy one again for a nice price, finally just a good and affordable guitar. Nice review and I completely understand why you regret giving it back :) ohh and yes I'm a huge Ibanez fan
Ended up moving the strap buttons and replacing them with my own straplocks. The position behind the neck got annoying, guitar was tilting forward, the PS60 has it at the right place, but did position it slightly more towards the neck on the Iceman. Only other thing I might change is replacing the tuners with locking tuners. I would advice against moving the strap button to anyone who doesn’t want the guitar to drop more than average in resell value.
I remember wanting one in high school, but they were out of my price range. By the time I could afford one, Ibanez had moved on to the flat shreddery necks. The last 30 years have been a godsend for guitar players.
When I see an Iceman I instantly think of Daron Malakian and the upside down version Paul Gilbert Fireman. Love the look of it. Btw. what guitar is above the ENGL head?
GREAT REVIEW HENNING!!! I have a question, do you feel the neck plays smooth? I have admittedly sweaty hands and usually stick to satin finish necks for that reason. Did you feel it was 'sticky' at all? Thanks!
Have the 420 and legit incredible tone range and excellent lead capabilities. Covers everything from jazz to classic rock to power pop to intense hard rock, great set up out of the box, beautiful finish… same price as this iceman. My go to for recording and live gigs, every style outside of modern heavy metal
I used to own a IC50 from 1982. Also in metallic blue, but with a different headstock, no white borders and a bolt-on neck. It sounded like a guitar has to sound. This one does as well. Don't know how I could have been so stupid to give it away, but I guess I'm buying a IC420 some time soon.. The nostalgia is too strong for me.
Would be interesting to hear comparison with Epiphone Les Paul modern. Also made in China, slightly cheaper but with locking tuners, 3 push-pulls, ebony fingerboard.❤
I bought it on release, 2 month review: Great guitar, it really rings out when you play it hard and it sounds more musical than things in that price range (Source: i was a guitar story employee from 2019 til 2022). The pickups do a lot of heavy lifting but the whole guitar feels solid and durable. The finish is perfect on mine, i have the tobacco flamed top and it looks very lively. Plus, this shape with the binding is the coolest. I've grown erect by just staring at it one time. It doesn't go out of tune. The frets are neat! My favourite things about it: - Lead playing on this is fucking nice. These pickups have that Click/bell like sound that i associate with more vintagey gibsons. it plays effortlessly if you take the time to set it up, Eytsch isn't being a hyperbolic maniac on this. My least fav: - it's a big guitar so it's not always the easiest thing to play standing up. i put it on my 1.55 gf and it really makes you look small and insignificant. I have a gibson, fender japan to compare with and this holds up!
@@metallsnubben Not bad at all, it is large but not heavy It is slightly heavier than it's cheaper bolt-on brother, it's lighter than a japanese strat, it's a lot heavier than a Gibson SG
What did you do for the setup? I just got mine and it doesn't sound right so I changed the strings and cleaned the fretboard. The strings are buzzing so I think the truss rod needs to be adjusted, which is surprising for a brand new guitar.
@@DC-uc8xl It's totally unsurprising for a new one actually! The guitar is going to come from a cold warehouse and whatever factory setup ibanez might (or might not) do is made undone by the time you have it in your hands, especially when changing the strings it makes no sense buying good guitars and not having them set up right
Looks And Sounds Great! 👍🙂👍 One Thing Bothers Me Though Is The Tuners. Doesn't Look Good. Why They Didn't Put Tuners Like They Had Since Late Seventeen's Early Eighty's Models? 🙁🤔 I Have P.S.10 1981. IC200 1980. Korina IC300 1979. And Those Have The Best Looking Tuners Ever! 🙂 I Also Have An Artist 2663 1976 And H.R. Giger 2005 And Those Don't Have Coolest Tuners Either. 😉 In Body Shape You Also See Some Resemblance To Yamaha 1968 SG-5 Model. 🙃
FU Henning 😂 I have been looking at the sunburst version for some time and then I saw this video with you being sad that you had to return it, which for me means it’s a freakin good guitar. IC420FM-VLS landed today and just ran through the set with it, amazing piece of guitar, on pair with some way more expensieve Japanese Ibanez models and better than some Gibson LP’s.
Just got the cheaper PS10 too. No idea how Ibanez can make the chinese factory that is building them deliver that much quality. Really temptet to get a PS120 as well.
Henning I bought a blue Iceman .You should have used a strap on in your review. You would have then seen its major design fault.The back strap button is in totally the wrong place. It needs to be further up above the pointy bit.👍🍺
I like that you said D-ish Ppl call everything a “C” or “modern C” when many necks are clearly literally D shaped. But for some reason we can’t say that >.
Hello, thanks for this wonderfull vidéo! I love this guitar but before buy it i just have a Little question, does this guitar suffer of « neck dive »? (Im french so i hope my english is not so bad…)
@@EytschPi42 a friend told me that the problem can be solved with some adhesive car wheel weight in the electronics cavity, do you think its a good option? As always thanks for your answer!
It's a Les Paul. Also I only want one tone and one volume. GAHHH!! Sacrilege. The whole point of a Les Paul (if we call a 4 knob, 2 hb, 3 way switch guitar a Les Paul) is to use the center position and blend the pickups using the seperate volumes (that are dearly missed on a Strat or my RG for instance). It let's you do a smooth transition from bright to dark and in between without that "click - totally different sound". "You don't need tone knobs." Sacrilege again. What if you want to brighten or darken the sound without changing the ratio and volume of the pickups? The tone knobs!!! You put them on 7, set the amp to sound like tone on 10 and voila, you can now make infinite sounds between both pickups and darken or brighten as desired. I thought that's the entire point of a Les Paul wiring. It's why I prefer Gibson style. Sometimes neck is too dark and bridge too bright. Or the pickups aren't exactly what you want. Eyeyey. Der Strat spieler und seine esoterischen Meinungen zu Potis. Klar, ihr leimt den ja fest damit er ned ständig verstellt. :P 5 verschiedene sounds? Was wenn ich eine million verschiedene Sounds will? Für das ist die Paula und doppel Volumen Gitarren in Allgemeinen. Wenigstens können wir uns einigen, dass Glenn Fricker masslos übertreibt. Durch ein MT2 klingt eine Strat schon wie eine Paula...
I think that you should let your wife dress you, as you seem to be unable to dress yourself in normal clothes? Ibanez's answer to the explorer was the destroyer! I'd say that the iceman was more of an answer to the Firebird?
Where can I find your music bro? Just interested to see how your intonation and perfect pitch stack up. Oh and I'd like to send you some links on how to relax your asshole when watching amateur reviews. Chill my dude. 😊
@@marknutting3318 first, this is not an amateur review, as this chanel monetizes the views it has, so it is professional content, that is why i was so suprprised and commented. Second, far from perfect pitch, not necessary for hearing what is obvious.
Great review, that guitar sounds great - actually KILLER!! My problem (and it's me)... it is just so damn ugly, I'd never buy it. However, I did buy 2 Ibanez AZ Prestige guitars and they ROCK. Happy 2024 to all !!
Ceramic pickups.. sound a bit like the Eastwood Airline series, good for leads but squiels a bit. With the nice quick change bridge it would be nice to have a locking tunners. And with all alternative woods.. a bit overpriced, not for everyone I guess. I was checking this guitar for some system of a down feel. Steal would like to get me one haha
That was one of the most imotive intro jams I have ever heard Henning play before the Wah. Loved it. He seems to have really gelled with this instrument.
I like those knobs with the rubber grips. Very handy. Nice review!
This looks & sounds good, I was thinking of getting a Gibson Explorer, but after watching this, Ibanez won my love ☺️🤟☺️🤘☺️
Wonderful intro jam with excellent playing! I love your beautiful sweater and pants.

I love it
It sounds different than my Les Paul, but yeah, it’s generally in the same category
It maybe be larger, but it is the most comfortable guitar I have ever played
Nice to see Ibanez reissuing something like this
How would describe the sound/playability in comparison to your Les Paul?
@@blakespurlock5322 the neck’s are quite similar, but the Iceman is more balanced
The frets are quite different though
But I am fine with both
That’s awesome. Sound-wise is the iceman twangier than the LP?
@@blakespurlock5322 mine isn’t
Thanks for the demo, just ordered one 👍
I hate that they released these JUST after I bought the budget Paul Stanley signature because I really wanted an affordable Iceman. I don't even like Kiss!

The PS versions look cooler than these, by far.
@@Dr.Jekyll Strongly disagree. Gloss black is as generic as it gets, and I took the mirror pickguard and bridge piece off immediately after unboxing.

Sweet guitar! Sounds like a Les Paul but looks cooler, much cheaper and without all the QC issues.

@@marknutting3318 first, this is not an amateur review, as this chanel monetizes the views it has, so it is professional content, that is why i was so suprprised and commented. Second, far from perfect pitch, not necessary for hearing what is obvious.
Saw the neck dive several times during review. Am I right to assume it is top-heavy and body chambered?
I had no idea Ibanez released this in 2023
Great review, that guitar sounds great - actually KILLER!! My problem (and it's me)... it is just so damn ugly, I'd never buy it. However, I did buy 2 Ibanez AZ Prestige guitars and they ROCK. Happy 2024 to all !!
Great. How is the balance?
Ceramic pickups.. sound a bit like the Eastwood Airline series, good for leads but squiels a bit. With the nice quick change bridge it would be nice to have a locking tunners. And with all alternative woods.. a bit overpriced, not for everyone I guess. I was checking this guitar for some system of a down feel. Steal would like to get me one haha
Oh and plastic nut.. just to say I think they are playing on old glory not very competitif here
Does it come in a more metal color?
Where's mid 1970s UK when you need it. They'd be all over TOTP.
Ibanez already has an explorer.. they call it the destroyer.
