Title: ibanez iceman
Post by: Emory on January 31, 2008, 01:16:54 AM

Anyone have any opinion/experience with these? I'm looking at the ICT700 at the moment.

Not seen the ICT700, is that like the Sam Trottman one - 24 fret/Edge III trem?

I prefer the hardtails... Got an IC400, had a '78 IC200, an '82 IC50 and a '94 IC300. The '94 IC300 was awful.

Tried the 400 I think has a nice neck and a nice sound, played well

I reeeeeeeally want one, it's one of my all-time favourite guitars but I loathe the headstock. It's like an angry fishes head.

The ICT700 isn't the Sam Totman signature model - it has 24 frets, reversed headstock, reverse sharktooth inlays and comes with a pair of sexy Dimarzio D-Activator pickups. Gibraltar bridge...

I think that's damn near the sexiest Iceman I've ever seen, I love it in arctic white! Looks much better with a proper headstock on too.

Imagine that with a pair of black-covered pups in. ;)

Mmmmmmmmm, I love that old elongated tailpiece!

I thank Paul Stanley for beginning my Iceman love. And also Iceman of X-Men fame.

Yeah, he looks kind of like an angular version of the Silver Surfer, shoots freezing bolts from his hands and travels around on ice paths/bridges which he makes as he goes along.

He's like a sub-zero version of the Human Torch.

Never played one, but they look sweeeet.  But for me there's something about the headstock which doesn't look quite right.  Can't put my finger on it, but somethings wrong.
