Tell me about Icemen!?!
« on: April 13, 2009, 06:02:12 PM »
Once again im in the market for a new guitar. I need a decent 2 humbucker fixed bridge guitar to replace my G1 that im using in my new band. The G1 plays and sounds great, but just doesnt look metal enough!! The other guitarist uses deans as does the guy I replaced, so i'm after something metal looking, but a little bit different. Ive started thinking about an Iceman, but are they as good as they look?

Trying a Feline Guitars Iceman at a guitar show was a massive surprise for me..

Brilliant balance and excellent ergonomics / access - I loved it!

Give one a try ASAP.

Get a good one and they are fab!

I have made quite a few in my time as it is one of my fave guitars
That started from the Paul Stanley /Kiss connection but a good Iceman is a cool guitar

Here is some cool history
http://vintageibanez.tripod.com/iceman.html

Here's just a few of mine:

This one's in the Hard Rock Cafe in Munich


This one was built for a Kiss Tribute band - over 2500 Rhinestones stuck on this one


This one is sat in my cupboard here (great playing guitar) - and I wont make any more using this logo as Harley were not pleased with me using their trademark logo (understandable)

Those Felines look cool.

Why so set on the iceman shape?

I've only played one. It was OK. I guess theres as much variation in them as anything. The shape doesnt do anything for me.

play a few and see what you think.

On the shape it does remind me of a little cartoon animal waving  :?

Paul Gilbert is awesome, but the Fireman is awful... and apparently $9000 US :o
