For a list of Iceman models, see Portal:Iceman series.

The Iceman series is a line of solid body electric guitars and basses manufactured by Hoshino Gakki and sold under the Ibanez brand. Unlike most other Ibanez guitar shapes which are inspired by shapes first used by other brands (e.g. Fender Strats, Gibson Les Pauls, etc.) the Iceman is a completely distinct body-shape designed in partnership with FujiGen in the late 1970s. The Iceman shape is closely identified with KISS guitarist Paul Stanley who had a signature Iceman.

The Iceman line is considered to fall under the X series umbrella which also encompasses, Destroyer, Xiphos and various other "extreme" shapes.
