The sound of the Iceman is entirely different when you switch between pickup positions and the tone knob increases that difference a lot. It is very responsive, the sound round and yet capable of cutting right through. You can be very subtle with this guitar, or really brash! I use it for recording a lot, it's nice and quiet, stays in tune really well. Like most Ibanez guitars, it has a 'sweet' sound, which is to me what makes it an Ibanez; it doesn't sound like any other brand. When I do head for the stage, it's a comfortable to handle. I play it through a volume pedal, distortion unit (Boss HM2) and a Boss DD20 Giga Delay.

Ibanez quality is always top notch, I've owned a 1984 Roadstar 2 since new, and never ever had one problem. I expect to get the same mileage out of the Iceman too. The strap location pin is a bit weird, and means you have to often twist the strap to get it the right way round. It stays on well though (using strap locks). The neck is soooooo smooth and really well finished, as are the frets. The basswood body is a nice weight, not too heavy, not too light to make it feel cheap. It feels very substantial.

It's Ibanez! It's really well made, really tough feeling, it would be really hard to break this guitar (not that you'd want to) Super, all over. A lovely product. The finish was flawless, fit superb, just a fine piece of art.

Super value for the money. You have a guitar that looks and sounds like it cost $1,000.00, for half or less than half that.

Never had to deal with Ibanez other than paying them for the guitar...and they deserve every penny! I think that some upgrades could be accomplished easily, like different pickups, maybe Sperzel tuners, but seeing as it's a fixed bridge, it might be redundant.

The finish is beatiful, from top to well shaped bottom (it's really sexy, and kinda Art Deco too) I love the off white perfing. The black and chrome really appealed to me too, and I love the headstock being the same colour...it really has a slightly retro look, but so unique.

Of course, any one would agree the sound is awesome. System of a Down uses it, and it works. You cant tell a difference when teh guitarist uses his $1,200 gibson SG than his $300-$600 Icemans.

Cant break it. First of all, no one would try. Second of all, you cant.

Awesome value, gives you a $1000 guitar sound for $300

Sheer design.

Anything that has distortion and overdrive

This is perfect for metal. System of a Down uses it, and of course, creates an awesome sound.

Able to stand up to anything. Concerts, home, ect

Very strong sound, great tone, wonderful!! Whether you need a sharp sounding solo guitar or a heavy riffing monster, this guitar can handle it! From The Beatles to Def Leopard, the iceman sounds beautiful.

Not bad . . . that's all I can say!!

Great make, frets are spaced just right. Wonderful. Totally.

The best of the best. Ibanez did a great job.

Great value for the guitar! I've seen guitars for much more and they don't play half as well as the iceman does.

Great.

SEXY, SHINY & FANS LOVE IT!

great sound its a lil hard to tweak with heavy metal but other than that its just fine.

The only thing bad is that the nut to connect the strap is right where the neck connects with the body and the strap seems to come loose easily

the product comes in perfect condition with no problems

its not that bad but like i said if your gonna use it for on stage i dont recommend it

i love the body it looks very "sexy"...
