GICM21 BKN
GICM21 in Black Night (BKN) Red copyright sprite

The GICM21 is a compact Iceman-styled solid body electric guitar introduced by Ibanez in late 2011. It is part of the miKro series of short-scale compact instruments.

The GICM21 was (along with the Destroyer-shaped GDTM21 released concurrently) the first non-RG-style body in the Mikro series line. The GICM21 features a downsized basswood body bolted to a maple neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with a 22" scale and pearloid dot position markers. Components include a pair of Ibanez Powersound humbucking pickups with black bobbins which are mounted in chrome pickup rings, a chrome fixed bridge, and chrome die-cast tuning machines.

The GICM21 was sold only in Black Night (BKN) finish.

The GICM21 is similar to the GRGM21, in terms of specs, with the major difference between the two models being the shape of the body.
