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

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


Only three letters, but it says a thousand words.

They do seem very very VERY glam rock to me, but in a glam band, I guess that's okay :D

I first saw the Iceman in a System Of A Down vid, so the metal credentials are definately there, certainly a guitar that i've thought of buying (especially if they did a seven string)

Haha! Actually it was merely commentary on Jonathan's choice of words :) Reading between the lines, if you will.

any guitar covered in rhinestones would appear glam... actually i reckon the iceman could look quite br00talz

white zombie anyone!!



if i remember right they also played with a mirror topped iceman.. not like the cracked mirror ones.  it was a load of rectangular mirrors maybe about 2"x1" - very tasty actually. 

i have tried to draw a version a few times but the horn is difficult to get right, it looks daft on paper

Good grief, me too!

Here's a more metal-looking Iceman:

I think somehow you have to have bigger "cojones" to go out on stage in stack heels and using a rhinestone encrusted axe than to have cut off combats, a wallet chain and a hamster stuck to your chin

Please note said with a sense of humour!

It possibly also helps if you like your arguably-bigger 'cojones' being fondled by a large beardy German named Hans. :)

But on a serious note, I think it just takes a more outgoing personality, tbh. Some people just like drawing attention to themselves. In fact I think all people like this, it's just that some people do it through being outspoken opinionated gits on internet forums (the sad ****s like me), and some people do it by glamming up and gurning as they play on stage. The latter probably make for a better show (how else do you explain the absurd popularity of The Darkness?), but I can't change my personality, so there :) You'll just have to make do with Vociferators and obscene downtuned dirt :)

It's one style guitar I really do like. I have never tried a Feline guitar yet, but based on what you guys on this forum say I'd have them build one for me if I were in the market. Not sure what colour/ finish I'd go for... but a very cool shape for sure.  :)

I wonder why nobody mentioned him before...
Daron Malakian from System of a Down, the man with the Iceman guitar...
Don't know about the guitar, never played one, but I sure like the man...
