The STM3 is an Iceman style solid body electric guitar model introduced by Ibanez in 2016. As its name implies, it is the third signature model of British guitarist Sam Totman, known for his work with the power metal band DragonForce. The STM3 was produced in Indonesia.
The STM3 replaced the STM2. Differences from the previous model include no flamed maple top, a one-piece bolt-on neck (rather than the STM2's neck-through 5-piece neck), a different bridge, Ibanez (rather than DiMarzio) pickups and black hardware.
The STM3 features a mahogany body bolted to a maple neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with binding and parallelogram position markers. Components include dual Ibanez Quantum humbucking pickups and an Edge Zero II double locking tremolo bridge.
The rosewood fretboard was replaced with jatoba for 2018. For 2019 the mahogany body was replaced with nyatoh.
