PS120L Black Red copyright sprite

The PS120L is a left-handed solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2017. It is a signature model of guitarist Paul Stanley of the American hard rock band KISS. It was produced in China.

The PS120L features a maple top with abalone purfling and white binding on a mahogany body mated to a set-in mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard with white binding and acrylic and abalone split block position markers. Components include a Full Tune III Tune-o-matic style bridge with a Quik Change Classic tailpiece with a special serrated arrowhead shaped chrome ornament, a bone nut, dual Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups with individual volume controls and Sure Grip III knobs.

For 2019 the mahogany body and neck were replaced with okoume. For 2020 the new Gibraltar Performer bridge is used.

The PS120L is the first regular production left-handed Iceman model. The PS120 is a right-handed version.

The PS120L was discontinued after 2022.
