Ibanez Iceman Black Night Mikro

Post by raymeedc »

Anybody have any experience with this short scale guitar?

I can't seem to find much more than a mention of it on any of the forums.

I'd trade my 22" laguna for it, that's for sure. But I'd never buy one... that scale seems like a good idea until you're actually playing it.

+1

22" is really too small imo. i think that scale is best for middle schoolers.

This is what I'm wondering about. It seems like a good idea for some difficult chord fingerings in standard & open tunings on paper, but I haven't felt any of these 22" scale guitars in person. Swapping out pickups & replacing cheap parts is not an issue.

It looks really cramped, to me. I had a 70's neck through Iceman I bought from Al Jourgensen and he had a 3rd humbucker put in it. Comparing my memory of that guitar to the picture of the one in the link, it must be tiny in person.

I have one of the RG style Mikros. Plays good, stays in tune pretty well. Perfect for in the hammock and on the couch.

It looks pretty dang cool. I've played the GRGM21 and like it although the body is small. I play 22.5" scale guitars almost exclusively and dig them as long as I get regular sized bodies.
