80's Ibanez Iceman

[ZappaFan]

Now here's a couple of odd things for you. One is my mate dave the other is his 1980's Ibanez Iceman. Not exactly my guitars I know but grabbed these pins at tonights TEGAS night and thought I would share them with you.

Very cool! I'd like to get one of the 80's destroyers.

God, I had two of these...an autograph (black with mirror parts) and this VERY rare white one. I got rid of both of them for beer...wot a TIT!

Man I haven't seen one of those in ages nice! And don't feel bad Chris I've done worse to get beer...I once gave this hefty chick a bang just to go to this party in the mid 80's just to get beer and crabs..............ewwwww!

Very nice!

My bassist uses an Iceman bass, very strange to play but nice all the same.

[Munga]

Nice guitar. At first, I thought that was you, Zappa.

I used to have it's Destroyer sibling in '85 - '86. Gotta catalogue pic somewhere.

Same sunburst tiger stripe ..... same pup configuration ... same contrasting abalone fretmarker inlays ..... same controls ..... same neck ..... same tun-a-matic bridge & quick-change tailstop.

It was bloody gorgeous, but the V22 bridge pup would slice yer ears off with headache-inducing treble while the P58 neck pup would make yer wish they were still there.

P-exed it for a RS-525 that got nicked in '87.

The guy who eventually got the DT smashed it up at a gig, cos hwe lost his temper over some stupid piddly disagreement with someone (F**KWIT!!!). Ida bought it right back off him if I'd known he'd do something so stupid with it.

Some memories hurt ...
