Description: **PLEASE READ FULL DESCRIPTION** ***Signature Required for Shipping****Contact me for INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING* 1978 Ibanez Iceman IC400 AV - Antique Violin w/ OHSC - Made in JapanSerial #: G788628 Absolutely gorgeous guitar! And so cool looking! There were only about 170 of these made in 1978. I've owned this guitar for about 20 years and have always kept it stored in it's case. This Iceman plays so nice and has such a variety of sounds. From full and rich to slightly twangy and can all be dialed in with the tones knobs. The neck is straight with nice action. The tailpiece is pretty too. The neck pick up is the original Ibanez Super 80. The bridge pickup was swapped out by a previous owner for a Gibson PAF. I'm not sure which model it is. (See third to last photo). The neck pickup ring is cracked top left corner and the screw broke off in the top right corner. The finish on the front is in great shape. There are some scuffs/scratches on the back. There's a small ding on the back of the neck by the high E / 2nd fret. The binding is cracked from age I guess around the body and neck. There are chips around the sides of the body and tip of the headstock. There are close ups of all the imperfections. Some previous owner must've swapped out the tuners and drilled new holes (See pic of back of headstock) and then maybe put the original tuners back. That's what's on there now. The OHSC is in good condition. The padding by the rear strap button was worn away from the strap button. I added terrycloth to fill the space as you can see in the last photos. Also, because of age, the little felt hairs that line the case shed. I vacuum it out occasionally. Please ask me anything and inspect all photos. Photos taken in flat outdoor light. I have more photos I can send or of any specific part of the guitar you'd like to see. Thank you for looking!
