Ibanez IC420FM CRS Iceman Flamed Maple Top Electric Guitar Cherry Sunburst

Bright articulation and controlled sustain in a short-scale offset build

The Ibanez IC420FM CRS Iceman combines a flamed maple top with an okoume body to produce a bright, solid core tone with clear note separation. The flamed maple top adds snap and definition to the attack, while the okoume body keeps the overall response balanced and focused. A set-in 3-piece okoume neck increases sustain and promotes a consistent feel along the 628mm scale length, giving chords weight and single notes a smooth, controlled bloom.

The bound jatoba fretboard introduces a rich midrange with crisp highs, which helps lead lines cut without becoming brittle. Super 80 passive ceramic humbuckers are voiced for a bright and clean character, maintaining clarity under higher gain and preserving detail in complex chords. A three-way selector with independent volume and tone controls for each pickup allows precise blending, making it easy to move from tight bridge-driven bite to warmer neck textures.

The Gibraltar Performer bridge enhances sustain and tuning stability, and its low saddle profile supports comfortable right-hand positioning. The Quik Change III tailpiece simplifies restringing, while gold hardware and a Cherry Sunburst finish complete the look. A gig bag is included for practical transport.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the IC420FM suits players who want striking visuals matched by bright humbucker clarity and dependable sustain, particularly those working in rock styles where articulation and tuning stability matter just as much as stage presence.
