I really got the urge for an Iceman, and this one actually looks pretty awesome.

It's pretty similar to the xiphos, same pickups, neckthru etc. And the price is just wtf, it's a third of what it costs in sweden
Dude just get it! You'll may end up regreting not doing so otherwise.
Totally not my thing though, the only iceman I like is PG's reverse iceman in the GOOMY dvd.

I might be getting a new guitar next year, but as of now, i've spent too much money on gear, so i'll just have to wait some time.
Still, my dream iceman would be Red with white hardware and tonezone/humbucker from hell setup!
How is that Xiphos of yours working out btw?

Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for asking. The neck is great, not too thin so pretty much perfect for my hands which adds to the incredible playability. Never played a guitar with better fret access. The edge 3 is gravy! I have no idea why it gets so much stick, it stays in tune perfectly and has a neat system of tightening the trem arm using an allen key. I also love how the guitar has fat, warm tone and enduring sustain.
Really is an amazing guitar for the price; so comfortable, although having said that the only downpoint is the fucking insane neck dive when standing. Which sucks as it means I have to drill an extra hole into the body gahhh

I can do one better if I can snag my brothers video camera when he gets back from Florida soon .
Talking of action have you seen this guy from the RX boards, and he even said it was 50/50 improv.!!

He actually won Greg Howe's "Play with me" competition with that vid, pretty cool stuff! I really enjoyed his phrasing, really tight and agressive, but i'm not really that fond of his fast playing.

I checked it out today, the input jack is fucked up and needs to be fixed or replaced but that should be no biggy, the guy thats selling is like in a wheelchair and has no legs and one of his arms is like half missing, looks like he was in a pretty bad car accident or something terrible he probably wont be able to play guitar for a while

Correct me if i'm wrong, but if it's that bad he'll probably never be able to play guitar again. Really sad to hear though
On another note, this guitar is awesome

Btw, how do you tighten the trem arm with the allen key?Great to hear, the price for the X series (the xiphos and the iceman) are really low for the features and hardware they have. How about posting some recordings with it?
This thread needs moar action btw, i'm anxious for the forum jam
man, I haven't even started on the jam! I'll be sure to start tomorrow.

yeah that's andy james. Hes on the petrucci forum too. Fucking insane player.
Btw, considering my entry. I have it composed, I just lack an extra guitar chord to record. Once I either get a new one or get one of my friend's, ill record.

Oh snap! I forgot all about that jam! I'll record... soon.
I just transcribed/learned how to play that funky keyboard riff in The Lotus Eaters. Badass, haha! Not hard, took me like 5 minutes.

HAHA! Yeah, that's what I thought too when I first heard it
Count me on that list of faulty guitar cords. Mine cuts out a lot. I think it is because the jack is bent or something. It works, just is very annoying.
