  • Legit Iceman?

    Looks like a Korean Cort factory, 1995, November, number ~556 of the year




    The tuners obviously changed...ignore that.

    Ibanez Paul Stanley 10-2 is from Korea. First year of production for this variant in 1995. Should be awesome.

    Here's the wiki...

      Yes on all counts. The earlier non-Japan serial numbers followed their Japan counterparts in having the letter indicating the factory (P – Peerless; C – Cort), first digit the year, then a production number.

          Buy it, put some better looking tuners on it and rock out.

            Yes, Hipshots are not that attractive, but those are high end tuners that work well.

              The tuners on my 94 are fine, the only real issue Ive had since I had it is the nut but I think they put a cheaper nut on my Iceman.

                IME Hipshot tuners suck

                Get a good set of MIJ Gotoh tuners on that thing so at least some part of it is right

                How do you not already own an Iceman?

                  Slap a C5/59 set in it and you have a PS10 basically.

                      I'd replace with the originals anyway - so a non-issue.

                      But there are the Chinese models. Eyeing a couple of them....in the sub $900 range. They do come with Duncans already...

                          I don't like open gear tuners. It's just a poor design. You want to keep debris and crap out of those gears, they should be covered. There do exist well made open gear tuners, but none of them will work better over their lifetime than similar quality closed tuners.

                            Just an FYI - I'm gonna replace them with the original ones. I don't care about the ones on there now.

                              I think people choose the open ones for 2 reasons: weight & some sort of tradition.
