Lightweight basswood body
Maple neck, rosewood fretboard
EMG 81 & 85 Zakk Wylde pickups
Ibanez Full-Tune II bridge

It is a highly versatile guitar, from clean tones (jazz/funk/pop) to crunch (blues/jazz), rock, all the way to heavy kick-ass metal.

Guitar is set up with D'Addario hybrid 10/11 string set to Standard D (it's the same as Standard E tuning but all cords are one note lower. It can be dropped to drop C in an instant as all it needs is to lower the low E string an additional note. This would be recommended if you would like to play System of a Down or Killswitch Engage tunes).

The set-up is flawless it has a brilliant action and there's no rattling or fret buzz.


Included:
Ibanez Iceman ICX 120 guitar
EMG 81 & 85 Zakk Wylde pickup set
Original pickups inside EMG pickup box (One of which is a Duncan Designed bridge Humbucker)
Straplocks with Ibanez strap
D'Addario Hybrid 10/11 string set
9V battery for pickups

NO BAG OR CASE INCLUDED

Some dings and scratches and natural wear noticeable, mainly on the body. The only really noticeable flaw is a ding next to the strap holder on the bridge side of the guitar (see links for pictures). This doesn't affect the playability and sound and is only noticeable when the guitar is put down as the strap covers it when the guitar is played.

The pickup selector switch needs to be cleaned for better contact as right now it sometimes goes silent when switched to the neck position. This can be avoided with some light jiggling when switching between pickups.

Collection in person after payment.

"The main points that decided me on this guitar were the looks, it is so distinctive, the build quality, and sound quality. This guitar sings, it sustains in a clear unwavering way that makes you think of guitars that cost twice as much or more. What a deal.

The pickups are very responsive and the controls very smooth and accurate. The neck, always a strong point with Ibanez guitars in general, is no exception. It is well finished, the frets are well set and the rosewood fingerboard is flawless as is the maple neck. The machine heads are high quality, and again, smooth as silk and accurate. They also don't slip...at all.It's important that the action is responsive across the scale, and it is. The fixed bridge is solid, and the intonation is perfect. The Basswood body is medium weight and the finish is well applied as is the perfing around the edge which is of a nice ivory like colour. The bolt on neck fits like a glove and is immovable.

Summary: For the price, this guitar has few equals. In terms of overall quality of construction, looks, playability and sound, it has qualities you'd expect to find in much higher end instruments. I would recommend this guitar to young or old, beginner or seasoned pro, you can't go wrong. It's a winner."
