The Ibanez IC420MFM electric guitar continues the legacy of one of the most recognizable shapes in the company's rich history. First introduced in the late 1970s, the Iceman has long been associated with bold design and artistic expression, and this modern version stays true to that identity. A flamed maple top paired with an okoume body delivers a bright, solid tone with strong sustain, while a set-in okoume neck and 24.75" scale length provide a familiar, comfortable feel. Equipped with Super 80 humbuckers and a traditional 2-volume, 2-tone control layout with a 3-way selector, the IC420MFM is built for players who want clarity, character, and visual impact on stage or in the studio.
Super 80 Pickups With a Classic Ibanez Voice
The IC420MFM is fitted with a pair of legendary Super 80 humbuckers, easily recognized by their iconic “Flying Finger” engraved covers. These pickups are known for their bright, clean sound with tight lows, clear mids, and crisp highs, making them well suited for articulate rhythm work and expressive lead playing. Their responsive nature keeps notes defined across clean and driven tones alike.
Gibraltar Performer Bridge and Quik Change III Tailpiece
The Gibraltar Performer bridge is designed to deliver rich sustain and dependable tuning stability, with low-positioned saddles that keep the feel comfortable under the picking hand. Paired with the Quik Change III tailpiece, restringing is quick and straightforward, reducing downtime and making the guitar easier to maintain for regular playing and live use.
Set-In Neck and Maple Fingerboard Feel
A set-in okoume neck contributes to the Iceman’s smooth response and sustain, while the bound maple fingerboard adds crisp, bright highs and strong upper mids. With 22 medium frets, the playing surface feels controlled and precise, supporting accurate fretting without feeling oversized. The shorter 24.75" scale length keeps bends easy and chord shapes comfortable.
Flamed Maple Style With Practical Construction
The flamed maple top adds visual depth and character, finished in a low-gloss satin polyurethane that protects the wood while letting the grain show through. Gold hardware completes the look, giving the IC420MFM a polished but unmistakably bold appearance.
An Iceman Built to Make a Sonic Statement
The IC420MFM exists for players who want an instrument that makes a visual and musical statement without sacrificing playability or reliability. Supplied with an Ibanez gig bag, it’s well suited for rock, alternative, and heavier styles where clarity, sustain, and presence matter. For musicians drawn to the Iceman’s iconic design and clean, articulate voice, this model delivers a modern take on a true Ibanez original.
