Value For Money :
Excellent
Ibanez Iceman IC-400
Model imported from the United States,
Made in Korea
Mahogany body, 3 piece maple neck and rosewood fingerboard with white pearl parallelograms
Channel IC, glued not screwed, 22 frets
2 AH1 and AH2 humbuckers with adjustable volume and tone for each
Full tone chrome easel II
Very nice finish
UTILIZATION
The handle is very nice and very fast.
The access to the latest cargo is easy thanks to the shape of this beautiful guitar.
Good ergonomics in terms of form, all seated stand.
The guitar is pretty light, but tends to pitch down when you loose the handle, but hey it's not very annoying.
I would put a 9 / 10 but good for this imbalance, given the form we can imagine that this guitar is not an equilibrium model.
SOUNDS
Sounds very rock / hard rock / metal, but also very nice to play a good old blues.
The pickups are quite powerful, and every time I plugged into my Line 6 Spider II combo through my Boss GT-8, I fly in the seventh heaven! This guitar sounds excellent releases, hot and clear, round sound terrible saturation with good sustain, and all for a pretty good price / quality ratio.
OVERALL OPINION
I now have this guitar for about two and a half years and I love it!
Well it does not have much original, I changed the pickups with DiMarzio Ibanez (Paf Pro neck and bridge in Tonezone) that has greatly improved the sound at all levels (both in clear saturation in ), I also installed a Floyd Rose Original, changed the knobs (also DiMarzio) and added a few trinkets for aesthetics. The installation of Floyd has left some scars but the end result worth it! It's a great guitar, very versatile, though rather heavy focus, and I remake this choice without hesitation!
