Fraid not, those are just standard Super 70 humbuckers but they have weird covers.Originally Posted by bertie
looks like it has the "steve miller" triple coil p/ups as well...............
Technically this isn't an Iceman at all - they weren't called that until the late 70s. This is an Artist 2663... the one with the triple coil pickup was called the 2663TC... there was an exceptionally weird one called the 2663SL which had a single humbucker which was on rollers and could slide up and down the body.

My name is Connor and I have a GAS problem.
I also have some videos of myself playing guitar. Here they are.
Awesome awesome thing!
Whatever it is called, it looks great to me. Great to see dads enjoying themselves.....

Not my bag but it's got mojo written all over it. No playing in period required for that bad boy
very nice, cool story too
What a beauty! Love that shape.
Happy NGD to your dad! (And to you to assuming you get to play it too
OK - my dad's main guitar throughout the 1980s was a mid-70s Ibanez Iceman, which was already beat to hell and amateurishly resprayed black when he got it, and was later installed with coil-tap switches and upgraded DiMarzio pickups. It was from the very earliest run of Icemans (Icemen?) they did, because it has the huge chrome tailpiece - placing it between 1975 and 1977. I think I have a photo of it:
He traded it for a Godin Telecaster (apparently far inferior) in the early 90s and really regretted it, and has been looking for it (or any old Iceman from the same period) since. Then Nevada Music in Portsmouth got one... we went down today and, well, the end of this story is soon to become abundantly clear:
Fantastic condition for its age, only a few chips here and there. Original pickups:
This weird little notch by the lower strap pin:
Absolutely amazing guitar. Quite jealous, but more than anything I'm just happy my dad has an old Iceman again!
Utterly awesome !!!
Miss my old '82 Iceman II terribly...and this doesnt help !! lol

Good GASsing and good story. I dig interesting and nice stories like this one about how so-and-so acquired such-and-such that they really wanted via surprising and slightly unusual circumstances....
Ooh, I love that, and there's some awesome shots of it still up on the Nevada website: http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/used/ib...artist-iceman-
