My '78 PS10. Paul offered to buy this from me in '93.
Only reason I could think of was by that time, he didn't have very many originals left in excellent condition. I really don't know though. However it was a Christmas gift from my parents and I could not part with it. He flipped it over and signed the back. Even took the time to say take it to a luthier and have some clear coat sprayed over the sig.

Never got to that point as I was kinda in shock when he asked but once I picked my jaw from the floor, I told him about it being a Christmas Gift in '78. He basically said, yep I understand great story.

My Ibanez PS10 are my favorite hardtail, dual-humbucker guitars. I have a PS120, two PS60, and two Chibanez. I'd buy more if they offered different finishes besides the $7K+ cracked mirrors.
Technically the PS isn't an Iceman; the specs of the PS are based on one of Paul's favorite late '50s Les Pauls, and the control layouts, bridge, pickups, wood, etc.

I think Retail was $695. I think the actual price on it at the store was around 8 ish. I remember walking into the store, there it is and I'm begging lol. Come back a few weeks later and it's gone, I was crushed. My Dad had already bought it lol. We had cool parents, I got the PS10 and my friend go a Gibson V2. This same store had stacks of used Marshall Plexis for like $150 bucks during that time, not kidding. Stacks of them but everyone wanted the new JMP 2203 and 2204's. Crazy to think about that now.
