All user reviews for the Ibanez IC300

I think it's Made in Japan at the time japan was the third world level guitar.
Easel type tune-O-matic, 2 double micos winding with 2 volume controls. 21 jumbo frets, black binding with no points as key benchmarks. Production stopped in 1983 Rather heavy so I would say for the mahagony body and ebony fingerboard (the handle and the head is painted black ... p'têt Maple: basically a Les Paul with a basic form asteroid.

UTILIZATION

Channel and nice mechanics. The interface is a little weird with that horn down knocking everything she encounters. The guitar is fair and balanced, the pickups are pretty low end. Ibanez is usual, the violin is impeccable, electronics sucks! The lack of chamfer is a little sore in the long coats.

SOUNDS

NAZE !!! microphones do not sound at all, it's "box" in the clear and horrible in full. This is a first guitar prices, it merely at the time the hardcore fans of KISS. I put very bad being aware that it's rather a guitar for beginners and have fun in the mirror of the bathroom.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it in 1984 and sold it two years later. It was my first electric guitar which enabled me to continue to move forward with his violin and unwavering grasp my first effects (rockman and a flanger if I remember correctly). Sold pronto after the army, 1000 bullets for buying a US strat 6 times more expensive.
After all the value for money is good (it's mostly cheap), but the form is to stack and times for 2000 FF there was probably better to do than buying the guitar to Kiss. Except for clowning on stage ... I recommend .I not repeat that choice.

I bought this guitar at Steve's Music for 745.00 with tax, Canadian.

This guitar has nice pickups, which makes it have a nice solid sound. It has a awesome shape, and best of all... Daron Malakian from System of a Down plays this guitar

The only thing I don't like is how the strap is. But you get use to it.

This guitar is amazing and has a sweet shape to it.

This guitar is great, it has a sound of a $2000 guitar.

- Acastillage crom full tune II bridge
- Basswood body
- Tuning -> oil bath

UTILIZATION

Well, not specially difficult, the rglage sound is easily transition from one another as CMOP.
will actually use trs complicated if you do not play guitar ... lol ... May otherwise

The tuning is trs enjoyable and easy, and especially it takes a long time
Despite an original can be played sitting without problem.
The handle pulls the guitar down because of poor location of the strap. must dplacer the hook on that collection's outdoor plutt ct belly.
Personally it's not at all a problem for me, since ue when I play I take the handle (like everyone else) ... is no worse than a Gibos SG, but frankly it does not matter at all and does not influence ca ngativement my playing (I played trs ill before, and I always play as badly after s!! lol)

SOUNDS

A big jack, it is pushed in, we leave the pick, and if we have a big amp it had a heart attack! because its level is an bte.

I compare a Gibson Les Paul on a Marshall Mode Four at the store, the salesman who had expr command for me (and who did not know what MODL) has surprised t : the sound is close to the trs Lespaul, the diffrence is the price!

You can get a warm sound, but rather round fat fatty same trs. For crystal clear we can say that it is sometimes Submitted but not as much as on my Start.

The sound is coming out on both the blues than rock, as on the country, but this is my goddess of Metalh! with a nice little distortion style Warp Factor, Boss MT-2, or through my ZOOM 707II distos there's not to say the quality is awesome.
The sustain is truly worthy of my dreams ... it is trs long

When the branch there's no play without these little noise like my strat

In short a good sound powerful and bold for a good many heavy metal, and the perfect sound for bluesy solos

OVERALL OPINION

I have since September 15, 2003 she never betrayed.
It is not certainly gives (800 euros) in Switzerland is a little less CHRE (lower customs fees).

The only two points ngatifs I would cite are:
- The handle, which tends to draw the guitar down (which is not irremdiable, just do dplacer fixing strap on the body ct
- The black color that brings out the traces Lumire tomorrow and scratches ...

Namoins if I steal this guitar, I buy a new DS that I can afford it.
If you orient your metal is perfect, if you orients your blues, also .. it is quite versatile, even trs unlike a BC Rich ... but I do not see how playing a Warlock flammenco NJ (albeit with some distortion could Flammenco of CRER-metal?? ... um ... I am silent)

most are:
- Its qualitbr /> - its sound and sustain,
- Book in a suitcase -> nobody would like damaging a bb!
- Its original look
- Etc. .. y 'is so

Daron Malakian (System of a Down) using a custom course, but it is clear that it gives the sound pushed.

In fact for the price I deprecated a beginners, which for under 300 euros can find a squier Fender amp and with all ...
I am against the recommendation by those who are started on a small scraper bought at Cash Converters, which boss it, and now mastered enough to afford a good scratch ... that's my opinion ...

Or it is perfect for those who can put 2000 or more euros on a real Gibson, but who want the sound.

This guitar is really good, excellent quality price. paque even though it is expensive, its price is not theft APRS hearing its sound dvastateur.

This is the guitar that Ibanez released for the budget line up. It's not as good as the other versions out there, and it's intended for those who can't afford the higher end models. The guitar features a basswood body, a maple neck with a rosewood fretboard, 22 extra jumbo frets, dot inlays, a hard tail bridge, two humbuckers, one volume, one tone and a three way switch.

UTILIZATION

The guitar was average in every way. The first thing I noticed is that this guitar weighed a ton. It was almost as heavy as some of my Les Pauls. I'm a firm believer that a heavy guitar is not necessarily a good thing. In fact, I find them to be usually dead sounding when compared to other, lighter guitars out there. The frets needed some attention, as did the nut. A good do-over was pretty much needed. The ends were sharp, and the frets weren't that level. The nut was worn down pretty good, and it needed to be replaced. The guitar itself has also seen some good amount of abuse, too.

SOUNDS

The guitar did not sound that great. The first thing I should mention is that this had some faulty electronics in it. The tone pot was pretty much dead, and no amount of electronic spray seemed to fix it. The volume crackled, but it wasn't too bad. The switch was starting to flake out, too. What's worse is that the guitar itself didn't seem to be all that resonant. Combine all of that with some of the bad Ibanez pickups that are normally installed in this, and you got a recipe for disaster. That said, I can't fault it too much as I didn't try it with aftermarket pickups, so I never learned its true potential.

OVERALL OPINION

I don't really recommend getting this unless you absolutely love the Iceman shape. I much prefer the mahogany bodied guitars instead of the basswood ones. They seem to be a bit better, overall. Maybe it's the shape or the grade of basswood that was used on these, but the mahogany ones just seem to be a bit better to me.

The Ibanez Iceman Series IC-300 is an electric guitar that is suitable for any use that you'd like. I recently tried out the IC-300 at a studio where I was recording for a week, but it really wasn't my type of guitar so it didn't see much use. The guitar has 24 frets and two humbucker pick ups. I don't know what type of materials this guitar is made out of...

UTILIZATION

The overall feel of the Ibanez Iceman Series IC-300 is okay but it isn't my favorite feeling guitar in general. It has a pretty thick feeling neck and isn't the easiest for my hands to grasp. Of course this is just a matter of personal preference and opinion, as I'm sure there are some people's hands who fit this guitar perfectly. The pick ups have just a single tone and volume that control both, and a standard three way pick up selector as well. Getting a nice sound is definitely a relative thing here...

SOUNDS

It's hard for me to judge the Ibanez Iceman Series IC-300 accurately in terms of sound quality, as I found out that this is not the type of sound I'm looking for with my music. It's got a really thick and heavy sort of sound, which would certainly blend well for harder rock and metal, but since I don't play this type of music it's hard for me to say how it compares to other guitars of this nature. I thought that I'd be able to get a usable tone from it for what we were doing, which is softer rock, but it wasn't the right environment for the guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

The Ibanez Iceman Series IC-300 is definitely not the guitar for me, but that doesn't mean it isn't a useful guitar to someone else. It's definitely the type of guitar that you're going to want to use for metal and harder forms of rock, so if you're looking for a guitar of that nature, it's worth checking out. I'm not an expert for this type of music, but it's got a very heavy sound. Worth a gander for those interested in guitars suiting the genre...

For being a Korean made, bolt on neck guitar, this 6 string stole my heart quickly. With 22 frets to make it scream, and two AH humbucker pickups, along with the tune-o-matic bridge, you've got yourself a guitar that screams "rock and roll."

It's knob configuration is streamlined for those who just want to pound out the tunes, with just one volume and one tone knob, and the pickup selector switch in the Les Paul position, right by the thin, Iceman neck.

This is a more radically shaped Les Paul.

UTILIZATION

The neck has an amazing feel, and after playing it a while, it easily drops into the nice, worn, have-been-playing-it-for-years feel to it. The single cutaway provides easy access to the top notes, and I've never had a problem playing anywhere on the neck.

The design isn't nearly as ergonomic as I'd prefer, however. The bound edges get kind of weary on your forearms after a bit, and there's no real contouring so to speak. With such a radical shape, you'd think they would maybe make a contoured top or rounded edges to make it more radical of a design.

Also, the guitar is very neck heavy, so you pretty much have to hold it up the entire time you play it standing up. The basswood body just isn't heavy enough to counter the weight of the maple and rosewood Iceman neck.

That aside, one can easily get a nice sound form the AH 1 and 2 pickups, and can really rock things out.

SOUNDS

It fits some of the music I play, which is usually straight forward rock with a punk edge to it. It's definitely an attitude guitar.
I run this through my Line 6 Spider and a Morley Bad Horsie Wah pedal with great results
The sounds I prefer to get out of this guitar can be summed up into five words, and those are "distortion, distortion, and more distortion."

I don't like using the AH pickups for cleaner tones due to them being kind of hot pickups. It's a rock guitar, and it should be used accordingly.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using this guitar since 1998 or so. It's my first electric guitar, and I've loved it since.
What i like most about it is that it definitely lets you stand out in a crowd. The shape just screams "look at me!" And usually people will.

I did try other models, but at the time, they definitely were not in my limited price range. This was a steal when I got it used with a hardshell case, so I did not want to let someone else get it before I did.

For my money, buying it used, I'd say it was worth the money, and would buy it used again if I had to. I don't think I currently have the option of buying it new anymore because I think Ibanez has moved on to make the IC-400 guitar, with it's set neck, and higher quality binding.

I would probably make the same choice given what I know now about the guitar. I have a soft spot for this line due to its use in some of my favorite bands, such as Kiss and White Zombie. If it was good enough for them, it's good enough for me.
