Looks absolutely stunning.    Love he look with the inlays on this one.  really nice stuff. 
Glad to see something a little different in the body shape.   

WOW, WOW

I'll just keep it going with...

Seriously the most beautiful Iceman I have ever seen. I would LOVE owning that! You're a lucky man, everything about that is beautiful.

Thanks man! I totally copied the inlays from the current Ibanez Iceman, though

Why was it in Quarantine?

Why was it in Quarantine?

Australia is really really strict about items from overseas made of wood. Even though it's been treated and sealed, they basically open the whole thing, poke around a bit, close it up then charge you $300

Now I don't feel so bad about the dollar being down against the pound, at least I don't have to pay a $300 VAT... :doh:

What are you kidding me  :dontknow:

I'm in Oz and ...
I've had bucket loads of stuff from Warmoth, from Raw woods to finished woods and .......
Have never, ever had any trouble or had them open the packages or been charged any extra $$$$.

BTW .... great looking axe  :headbang:

Wow dude that guitar is really beautiful! And I know that it sounds good
Yeah, quarantine is pretty random. They only open a sample of the total stuff that comes through, so I just got unlucky I guess

 

[Corey P.]

At the risk of sounding unoriginal, that's a gorgeous guitar - love the Warmoth headstock with it as well!  :headbang1:

 

[Torment Leaves Scars]

Really nice Iceman!  :hello2:

 

[phred]

Sweet! How does it sound?

 

[Patriot54]

I love the look of that Iceman body paired with the sharkfin inlays  :headbang1:

 

[photoguy]

I have shot quite a few Iceman bodies for the Showcase in the last few years. I always thought they looked a bit like a tea kettle. But that thing.....DUDE! The right combo of the right parts in the right colors. NICE NICE NICE. The matching Warmoth tilt back headstock is genius. Honeyburst is one of my favorite finishes that comes out of here.

 

[elbischoff]

that's a stunning guitar. just fantastic.

 

[Scotty2Hotty]

OHH MY GOSH! This is the first time I've seen this thread and I nearly had a heart attack from the pure awesomeness that this guitar radiates. Seriously, that is absolutely incredible, I love it so much!!!
Wow, it's a bit late but congratulations, that is pure win right there!  :headbang: :blob7: :blob7: :headbang:

 

[thearmofbarlow]

My first guitar was a '79 Iceman. I absolutely love the shape. It is soooooo comfortable to play and most people wouldn't ever know it.

Yours is just about the pinnacle of the species, I must say. You don't expect to see an Iceman done tastefully but you managed it. :headbang:

BTW, for the guy that said he wanted to see a hybrid LP/Iceman: http://www.sullyguitars.us/photo-gallery/sully-71-prototype-1/

My online buddy Jon Sullivan is a HUGE Kiss fan and is currently working on this one. I think I was the first to pick up on the hybrid aspect, being a long-time Iceman guy.
