Price is insane on this thing though.

This guitar is sweet but am I seeing $10,000?

Yeah man - hopefully they'll do a more accessible version too.

Guitar's awesome though just not something I'd spend that amount of $ on atm.

Iceman shape is cool but that price is wild.

Doesn’t help that flat transparent grey on flame maple, to me, is like the signature look of every $500 metal guitar, to signify it isn’t the low end model.

If the fretboard was ebony, way cooler.

I'll wait until Chibson starts putting $200 knockoffs on AliExpress.

Hahaha - I once bought a Jim Root Chender of Ali.
The guitar ended up being my #1 after I replaced the electronics on it and gave it a refret.
The bridge pickup cavitiy was routed closer to the bridge which just gives my Black Winter a very tight, percussive yet massive sound and the scale length turned out to be somewhere between 25.5 and 26.5. I only realized it when I wanted to level the frets and my fret spacer wouldn't fit on any side.

This guitar is the only thing I’ve wanted Ibanez to do for the last decade and they make it a fucking $10K model.

I’d legit rather invest the time, money and effort into building my own before I dropped $10K on a guitar in one shot.

Totally agreed - I just hope they come out with a more affordable model. 7 string 27" Iceman + floating bridge is just a big win.

That's what makes the price even more silly; I don't think he's that well known, killer guitar player though, so doubt these will sell big numbers.
