[img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] From what I remember from the`78 Ibanez catalog I use to own, they offered the Iceman in the Korina finish but made of Ash with a set maple neck just like the Destroyers and Rocket Roll Vee. Not actually made from Korina. May be that was in the early`80's? [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]
