Thanks to its radical shape, the Iceman has long been one of Ibanez’s most spotlight-ready models, so much so that Paul Stanley of the band Kiss has favored it for the bulk of his decades-long career. The Ibanez Iceman IC420 is a prime example of this head-turning solidbody electric guitar. The IC420 is carved from a solid slab of okoume and features a 3-piece set-in okoume neck, which gives it a brilliant, sustaining acoustic tone with truckloads of bite. Its Super 80 humbuckers are genuine scorchers, arming you with a bright PAF-inspired sound and enough output to give your amplifier a good spanking. This photogenic axe’s performance-ready hardware consists of a Gibraltar Performer fixed bridge, a Quik Change III tailpiece, and Ibanez tuners. Gleaming gold hardware and a light-catching gloss polyurethane finish round out the inimitable Iceman IC420.

Head-turning Iceman styling

Boasting an Iceman-shaped okoume body and a 3-piece set-in okoume neck, the IC420 delivers a bright acoustic tone with ample sustain and a menacing bite that cuts through a busy mix effortlessly. Its jatoba fingerboard sports 22 medium-sized frets, supplying an outstanding platform for unleashing all your pent-up fretboard wizardry. The Iceman IC420 sports eye-catching cream binding throughout, along with stunning acrylic and abalone parallelogram fingerboard inlays and a spotlight-ready gloss polyurethane finish.

Super 80 humbuckers are ready to rock

The Ibanez Iceman IC420 is equipped with a set of the company’s Super 80 humbuckers. These ceramic-loaded pups are piping hot, yielding an exquisite blend of power and fidelity. They’re also potted to safeguard against unwanted microphonic squeals. No matter what you plug into, the IC420 will churn out a bright, punchy sound with truckloads of articulation. Finally, these Super 80 humbuckers include chrome covers with eye-popping etched “flying finger” designs.

Near-bulletproof hardware

Guitarists have long been fans of the Iceman IC420’s roadworthy design, especially its rock-solid hardware. This solidbody electric guitar comes equipped with a Gibraltar Performer bridge. This adjustable Tune-o-matic-style fixed bridge maximizes sustain while also allowing for precise, per-string intonation. The bridge is paired with a Quik Change III tailpiece that’s built to withstand aggressive playing styles and makes string changes a piece of cake. You also get ultra-reliable Ibanez tuning machine heads.
