I wish Ibanez would make the Iceman their flagship model. It's the one shape that is TRULY theirs and it kicks ass. Ibanez, if you are listening, YOU NEED TO FOCUS MORE ON THIS MODEL AND MAKE MORE VARIANTS!
@@tp0ember456 Right? As if the guitar world needs more strat style double cut guitar shapes, but that's what Ibanez chooses to focus on....BOOOOOORING!
@@KaylaOflahertyTransgender they can't be sued for it. the destroyer shape they make is not a copy of the explorer. it's no different then jackson making the kelly.
I love an Iceman and really regret not picking one up for the low in the eighties and nineties. That one looks so good I thought it was an old one from the late 70’s when it first came on the screen. Keep up the great content!
Rumor says if you want to meet Tyler, you have to become someone capable of saying with a completely straight face that a PRS Custom 24 is a more iconic shape than a Flying V.
About time we had a proper attainable Iceman again that didn't have Paul Stanley's name on it. Though, admittedly, the silver sparkle PS60 is very reminiscent of the Iceman Daron plays in SOAD's _Chop Suey_ video. Anyway, I'll be snagging one of these blue beauties ASAP. Happy New Year, Keylan & all.
I lost a’79 Iceman in pawn. It was metallic blue with a bolt on neck. Played and sounded great. Do not pawn your stuff. Just skip rent and eating, etc.
We need more icemen in general. One pickup with a Floyd or an edge, grindy as fuck. One with 3 pickups and some sort of metal flake burst finish, like silver or gold, that would be sick as shit.
Nice playing, I recognize the intro of the undertow anywhere. I also have a ps60 brought it a year ago, loved the shape. Once you set it up properly and upgrade the pickups and nut it'll play like a dream.
Would love one of these with mini humbuckers. The Super 80 pickups are great, but the Iceman shape always reminds me of the Firebird so it would be cool to have a mini humbucker version as an option.
Ibanez still has multiple cool but unattended models, hopefully they get the same treatment as the Iceman. I'm talking about the FR, Talman and the Roadcore
The Iceman has always been an eye catcher, but honestly, if you want an Iceman, or any other axe for that matter, built to your own specs, build your own. I have bought kits of my fav axes and chosen the woods and built some very nice axes. I usually wire it all custom, upgrade all the hardware as well. I get the Graphtech for the nut, but another excellent choice is bone. BTW, two thumbs up for modding your guitars!!!
The Iceman was pretty much a "love at first sight" for me lol. Ibanez have many really cool original shapes and it sucks that they just never do anything with them! Iceman, Talman, Destroyer, Roadcore, FR, Darkstone and Halberd! And a couple more in the "Extreme Early 2000's Metal" styles. They can do so much better than Superstrats, Superteles and Legally-Distinct-Single/Double-Cuts it honestly upsets me that they just don't!
Just recently ordered it with the maple top-such late 70s/early 80s vibe to it. Would have purchased a purple metallic or sparkle one, but it definitely was the wiser economic route for Ibanez to have it offered in that lovely blue hue instead. Expecting to like the pickups and not switch anything out for once! Even a gig bag is included. Great (or similar) value compared to the bigger economy lines we all know. And compared to them, also a rarity all things considered, as it's no Firebird/Explorer. Its own unique thing-let's hope I get a good specimen!
I love my Ibanez RG5121, but their guitars all throughout their price ranges are excellent. I plan on grabbing the reissue of the RG bass pretty soon too!
1977 , Kiss Alive 2 was released and the inner sleeve showed the iconic pic of Kiss in all thier live, pyrotechnic glory. It was also the first time anyone saw the Ps10 iceman in Paul Stanleys hands. Every young aspiring Kiss fan wanted one. Unfortunately, they were only made for a few years. 78-81. Then not again until 1996. In the interim they were impossible to find. You kids today are lucky that ibanez has finally made them more available and more diverse.
If you're planning on keeping 10s on there, but you want a little more ✨oomf✨ in the lower strings, daddario make a 10-52 set which is pretty much perfect for drop C in my experience! Of course I hate really flubby lower strings, so if you like the slinkier feel then maybe 10-46 is just fine. 52s will get you the tautness though!!
Oh man, that's a really beautiful Iceman. Now I want one! Unfortunately I bought a PS60 (well my wife bought it for me) for my 49th birthday a few years ago. It was the worst quality guitar I've ever unboxed. Ridiculous high action at the nut, crooked bolt-on neck (neck pocket full of sawdust), file marks on parts of the fretboard, paint bleed in parts of the binding, a depression in the binding near the nut (suspect they burned through it while polishing) and quite a few finish flaws. If it wasn't a present, I would have sent it back. The store gave me a decent partial refund. I replaced the pickups with a chrome covered set of Artist Bullbuckers, gave it a setup etc. Fortunately it's a much better instrument now, and looks really cool. One of my students uses it for lessons. It's the one she always wants to play.
@@sixstringtv1 oh hey! awesome to see a reply from you! I watch your videos like a religion! Right when they come out if I can! I’m not sure as we have 3 Korean iceman’s. Dont remember the years but we have an ic200 and two ic300s all bolt on so yeah the budget ones or what were the budget ones now they are creeping up in value real quick. Would love to get one of these new ones! Still don’t think they are available in US tho. Does this one you got have the classic iceman neck dive? Even then they are such amazing guitars!
Great video,Love the iceman. I too own guitars with the iceman body the STM2 and STM3. The big difference with those is that they have double locking tremolos which you don’t see on iceman’s. I’m curious to know if Have you seen or tried them out yourself.
Goddamn y'all have no idea how bad I've wanted an Iceman. But there's never any in my country lmao. I want these old school 420s, an OG IC400 or 500, the new 7 string Iron Label one...I just want them all, man.
@@sixstringtv1 I had to retire my 78 for now because the refret would cost around the same as the new one. I was afraid there was some licensing issue in the US with kiss making it so you could only buy the Paul Stanley models in America.
Dude if I didn’t keep finding Amazingly priced used schecters in my local market(250 for a neck through with jbh ) I would’ve bought this. I’m hoping they’re still reasonably priced when I finally get around to buying one cuz it’s one of my top three wants
So I had a couple destroyers and I loved them! Very strange tho as I had a upper mid range one and a smaller one I think it's called the 120gx or something?..?. But I put a few bucks in the cheaper one an I ended up playing it constantly.great guitar....the shape of the Iceman is jist ...off to me..like how the destroyer is basically Ibanez twist on a explorer an they did a damn good job adding there own twist.i feel like The Iceman should have a bottom like an explorer. Then maybe😅. Love the Pelham Blue,
Even though classically the Iceman is associated with Paul Stanley, because I got started with guitar in the early 2000's, I've always see Daron Malakian's face next to them, and will always associate them with him.
Try scaring up one of the Ict700s, basically when the xiphos came out, they did an iceman, there was one with a reverse headstock, and then later one with a 3x3, I would play that or the new 7 string one.
See I like the hyper thin neck, especially on a 7, my xiphos doesn't even feel like a 7, normally though I love thick chunky necks, baseball bat necks, I have big hands, and people feel less inclined to play my guitar haha.@@dw7704
Sad my budget guitars came with bone nutt but my more expensive ibanez and Deans came with plastic nutts but picking a new dean guitar Tomorow i just purchased 2024s first guitar that makes 10 😁happy new year too bro

Facts!!
they have such cool shapes besides their regular strat types and they dont even utilize them (iceman, destroyer, xiphos, etc)
@@tp0ember456 Right? As if the guitar world needs more strat style double cut guitar shapes, but that's what Ibanez chooses to focus on....BOOOOOORING!
@@tp0ember456 If they made a modern day set neck classic inspired Destroyer I'll pick one up!
@@tp0ember456xiphos is my favorite Ibanez bofy
The iceman is one of the best guitar shapes ever.
💯
Agree. They grow on you. When I first saw it, I thought it was uglier than a Tele, but now I think it's one of the coolest guitar shapes ever.
@klauswigsmith 😂. Teles aren't ugly. At least my 59 Tele custom and 72 Tele custom are not ugly, in fact they look great with style of each.
@@AuntAlnico4 Teles have their charms, I suppose, but beauty ain't one of them...that headstock....
Its like a les paul + explorer + a couple other things i cannot describe
I wish Ibanez would bring the destroyer back, that was the best looking guitar they made!
Yeah. The Destroyer needs to come back. Ibanez has been incredibly boring with their endless RG and S iterations.
Ibanez would get sued by Gibson is they brought destroyers back
@@KaylaOflahertyTransgender they can't be sued for it.
the destroyer shape they make is not a copy of the explorer. it's no different then jackson making the kelly.
I hope that Ibanez will offer them in more colours, in the future.
A metallic Red one would be awesome.
Yes!!
I'm drooling at the prospect of that!
British Racing Green would be ace too!
@@zadtheinhaler Yeah, i agree.
British Racing Green is a great colour.
@@zadtheinhaler And while we're at it, a metallic pearl white!

Great review of an awesome guitar! Been waiting for the 6-string version to come back!
When I think of the Iceman shape, my mind immediately goes to 2 people (to me)
J Yuenger (White Zombie) & Daron Malakian (System Of A Down)
I really want a similarly priced Fireman
Rumor says if you want to meet Tyler, you have to become someone capable of saying with a completely straight face that a PRS Custom 24 is a more iconic shape than a Flying V.
Wes Hauch said it best, the Iceman is the best Gibson shape Gibson never made!
I definitely wanna pick this one up instead of a Les Paul :)
You ought to try the Fredrik Thordendal signature, it's like an explorer and an iceman mashed together. It'd make a cool first 8 string lol!
Tried it. Love it. 😮💨🔥
It’s also a billion dollars
About time we had a proper attainable Iceman again that didn't have Paul Stanley's name on it.

Happy New Year, Keylan & all.
The iceman was made for blue imo, Dystopia vibes
Daron malakian was my iceman icon. He was the o my person playing them in the early 2000’s. Love the guitars
I lost a’79 Iceman in pawn. It was metallic blue with a bolt on neck. Played and sounded great.
Do not pawn your stuff. Just skip rent and eating, etc.
This is the muscle car of guitars. But, not the crappy one in your uncles yard. It’s pristine.
I so badly wanna see a fun coloured/patterned baritone iceman with a single bridge pickup and volume knob, that shit would be sick.
We need more icemen in general. One pickup with a Floyd or an edge, grindy as fuck. One with 3 pickups and some sort of metal flake burst finish, like silver or gold, that would be sick as shit.
Nothing fancy tho, 7 string. Lo Pro Edge 7, Purple flamed maple top, mahogany body, 25.5 scale length/24 jumbo stainless frets, ebony board with abalone block inlays dimarzio x2n bridge only pickup.
@@mikeyoung6351 fuck yeah
Best guitar UA-cam chanel tbh

Iceman is one of my favorite guitar designs. I’ve always wanted a bass one.

Most people think only one person can play the same guitar at once. To them, I say Toucan.
There should be a Daron Malakian signature iceman
I am still waiting for Ibanez to make a Hipshot tail version.
Seriously. This is 2024. Hipshot needs to be standard-issue across the board.

Yeah man, that's definitely a sexy looking instrument, sounds pretty deadly too.
Great playing man.
I love the Iceman cause it's an Ibanez guitar that has an actual name instead of someones area code as a name.
A bit of lunatic parade. A classic to be sure. Played on an Iceman, very cool.
When’s your next gig? I want to come and see you play man
Lmaoo I don't gig but if you're coming to NAMM you can see me there hahah
Some juicy Exodus riff here. Love it !!!
