The Ibanez Iceman is a guitar produced by Hoshino Gakki under Ibanez brand. BackgroundeditHoshino Gakki exported copies of American electric and acoustic guitars in the 1. Ibanez guitars had reached a level of quality comparable to American guitars. Lower labor rates at the time, plus efficient manufacturing meant that Ibanez guitars could be sold for almost half or less of the cost of a Gibson Les Paul or Fender Stratocaster. In the mid 1. 97. Hoshino Gakki wanted to make a distinctly Japanese guitar and to start breaking away from the Ibanez replicas of Fender and Gibson models. The idea was to build a guitar with an appealing original design, like a Les Paul or Stratocaster. A meeting between Hoshino Ibanez, Kanda Shokai Greco and one of the main guitar factories in Japan Fuji. Gen resulted in the IcemanMirage design. Each distribution company had distribution rights to it in different global markets. Hoshino Gakki Ibanez had the rights outside of Japan and Kanda Shokai Greco had the rights for Japan. The early Ibanez models were originally named the Artist 2. The name Iceman came later in 1. The Greco model was named the Mirage and they are basically the same except for the pickup types that were used. Super 2. 00. 0, Triple Coil and V2 pickups were used for the Ibanez Iceman, depending on the model number. Greco Dry and Di. Marzio Super II pickups were used for the Greco Mirage. Body wood, pickups and neck joint construction varied with the IcemanMirage model price. The original Ibanez ArtistIceman production was from 1. The Ibanez Iceman II that was released in 1. Ibanez Iceman had. Use and signature models by Paul StanleyeditPaul Stanley of KISS favored the Iceman from the 1. Washburn guitars. Probably the most sought after by collectors is the PS 1. Paul Stanley model. This came out in 1. KISS skyrocketed. Ibanez approached Paul while KISS was on tour in Japan in March, 1. They offered him a chance to develop his own signature model. He liked the shape of the Artist 2. PS1. 0 model. The PS1. Ibanez catalog, although it may have been available for purchase prior to catalog printing. Paul Stanley rhythm guitar, vocals played an Iceman for the next 4 years. Look inside the album cover of KISS ALIVE II for a live shot of him with the Iceman. This model retailed for about 6. In 1. 99. 5 the PS 1. Korean made PS1. II. A deluxe version, the PS1. LTD or Limited was also introduced in 1. The PS1. 0LTD was made in Japan and had gold hardware which Stanley is said to have not liked2 as well as an ebony fretboard and different pickups than the PS1. II. Sales must have been good because in 1. PS was offered in the catalog this was sold as the PS1. CL or Classic. The biggest difference between them is that the PS1. II was made in Korean factories and the LTD and Classic were Japanese made and also had all the same features of the original 1. Gibraltar bridge and Quick Change tailpiece. Although the catalog shows the PS1. II with Paul Stanley inlaid at the 2. Apparently there was a problem with the inserts at the Korean factory and it was decided not to use them. Paul Stanley states First of all, the Iceman and the PS1. Chevy and a Rolls Royce. The PS1. 0 came about in the 7. Japan. Ibanez was interested in me doing a signature guitar with them. They wanted to me to design something new, and we did go through their catalog, I saw a picture of a guitar that was not terribly popular. I liked the asymmetrical shape to it it reminded me of a Firebird or a Rickenbacker bass turned upside down. It had one pickup on it that looked like you took three bobbins from a humbucker and put them together somehow. It also had that wacky knob that looked like you were to change your television channels with itI said, Youve got something here, but you dont know what to do with it. My feeling about Ibanez in the 7. Japan, was that they were excellent at copying but they didnt know why they were copying. We sat down, and by using that basic shape, I came up with a guitar construction, frets, inlays, wiring, the type of tail block that has a sustain block built into it, the half brasshalf bone nut, and so on. In other words, we took a shape and made a new guitar. Although there is still a guitar called an Iceman and some people use the name interchangeably with the PS1. VariationseditIbanez ICJ1. WZeditThe Ibanez ICJ1. WZ was an Iceman shaped signature guitar for Jay Yuenger of White Zombie, introduced in 1.

This is the first production Iceman since the 1. Ibanez FiremaneditIn 2. Iceman was remodeled by Paul Gilbert using Photoshop, by flipping the body of the Iceman over. Since the cutout was on the other side, they added another cutout that was a bit smaller than the trademark Iceman stalk.
