zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Funky mid-60's looks with today's tonal versatility and playability.

Nothing like a blast from the past. As long as it’s got modern tweaks, appointments and consistency. The Artist is one of the first Ibanez original designs, the affordable double-cutaway alternative to the other famous mahogany double-humbucker. The set-neck Iceman with its mahogany/humbucker power is the most easily identifiable radical guitar shape-from any distance. They’ve modified the funky pawnshop-inspired Jet King by switching out the original humbucker with a high-output exposed polepiece humbucker for stronger leads. Think ‘50s greaser guitar with ‘70s hotrodding.

I've been playing it for almost 3 years. I've done a lot of custom work on it to make it really mine, but it was really good before I changed anything on it.
Sound
For the price, the sound is really something. The humbuckers are smooth and powerful & the coil taps really make it versatile. The excellent mahogany body & neck combo really lend some sustain to the guitar. It's great for all kinds of music, though I wouldn't really recommend it for metal.
Features
300 bucks & you get mahogany body & neck, coil taps for both pickups, pretty decent hardware. It really is worth twice what you pay for, and I'm sure if it was a Fender, you would be paying twice as much.
Ease of Use
Plug in & play, very small learning curve on the controls as you can figure them all out in about 10 seconds. Very playable, beefy neck, I love the neck probably the most as it's substantial but no overly large. Plus the satin neck finish makes it a dream to play on, no friction on you hands what so ever.
Quality
Pretty darn good for a Korean factory, well soldered electronics, good finish, no blemishes or anything like that. Great work horse on the road as you'd have a hell of a time trying to break it.
Value
this thing is better than any guitar selling for 500 bucks or less.
Manufacturer Support
never needed to contact them.
The Wow Factor
Awesome looks, a style all its own, its looks alone are what first caught my eye!
