Let's see your GUITAR!

[morange]

Yeah I used to have an iceman with the tuneomatic; it was the MIJ IC-500 from the 90's. It did work well. That guitar really was too metal for me, and too rare and beautiful to modify; I wanted to put some single coils in it, lol. Even I know how fucked up and wrong that is. That headstock shape is perfect; wehuntkings' IC-500 got everything about the iceman right, imo.

You could put those p-90 in a humbucker size dealys in there

Did yours have proper body binding? I found that the binding on my '05 400 was not so hot. The finish isn't amazing either.
The neck construction and overall build quality is incredible though, and playability is infallible.
My 94 or whatever 350 with the Floyd may have lower quality parts, but I feel like build quality was higher then.
I swapped the pups out on that thing for a dimebucker and an invader. No regrets.
The electronics really are the worst thing about those 90s ones.
They're all Paul Stanley buttrockers.

It had a pearloid binding, pretty cool, there's a picture somewhere in here (page 198). I forgot that you posted there, WeHuntKings. Nice. Yeah it was really playable. Fast neck. Build quality was great on those 90's Icemen. I've read the the guys from both White Zombie and System of a Down changed the pickups; it seems to be the thing to do. The pickups in the picture are Lollar SCFH pickups. Humbucker sized P90's basically. Pretty hot and dark for single coil pickups.

Yeah dude that looks badass.
Those super pearly flamed up ones were porno as.

We need a dedicated icelove thread.


Wait....

That reads wrong now that I double check it.

IcoldheartIcemen?
That's not so hot either....

Icebreaux appreciation lounge?

[morange]

Yeah, definitely need one. I just did a search through the forum for iceman; there is much love.

She's an amazing player. Was refurbished by a guy who worked under Neal Moser (original Bich designer and original bc rich shop foreman) I toyed with the idea of selling it once. So glad I didn't.

dat mockingbird

I'm going to put a bass string on the bottom, tune it an octave below the top string, and attempt to answer the question 'what if Floor ripped off a bunch of 80s stenchcore bands?'.

I use a version of this as my main tuning, you won't be disappointed for sure. It's

Obulus, this is the first I've ever seen that second bridge idea. Way cool.

It's a Lee ranaldo thing (at least that's where i saw it first). Picked up the idea of using a tele bridge for it lurking on offset guitars. The strings behind the bridge are extremely resonant (compared tot my SG with a pickup behind the bridge too). You can even hear them with the pickup switched off, it sounds awesome!

[goroth]

Holy fuck BFC, that is an awesome stash. Normally I despise fancy wood on guitars but dude...
DUDE!!!

[Schlatte]

I have come back to this thread the third or fourth time today just to look at that mockingbird.

[WeHuntKings]

I love the knobs you chose for those guitars, BFC.

Also, dig your music. Hopefully next time I'm out west you guys will be playing!
