Is the new 2026 Ibanez Iceman IC420 the best rock guitar under €1000? In this review, I dive deep into a guitar that Epiphone wishes they could build. Featuring a "mystifying" open-pore Caramel Low Gloss finish that feels shockingly close to Nitro , this instrument balances a stunning Flamed Maple top with aggressive Super 80 "Flying Finger" pickups. I break down why this uniquely shaped "rock machine" is actually more comfortable than a Les Paul , test the tones from clean to fuzz , and discuss whether the build quality justifies the price tag. If you want a guitar that stands out on stage and feels like a vintage classic, this is the review you need to watch.

Recorded through the Victory Sheriff 25 through the Orange PPC212 with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers and with a Lewitt 440DM combined with a Celestion 212 setting on a Captor X for the most accurate representation of what i heard in the room.
