I came across this guitar from my grandfather- this guitar was purchased by him and was hardly ever used- just sat there most of the time. I found it recently while me and my mother will cleaning out the attic. It looks to be an Ibanez Iceman- the characteristics of it- but than there are a lot of differences- like the 0 fret which I know Ibanez doesn't have.
The guitar has floating string balancers (I think that is what they are called) and is very heavy.
What do you guys think?
I have a few more pictures- if you need to see something specific on it please let me know!
We bought this trunk because of the beautiful carved wood scenes on all sides. There is a large dragon on the top with bats in each corner, smaller dragons on each side and birds on the front. The seller had very little history about the piece. It is darkly stained wood with (brass?) metal accents. I have no idea if it is antique or modern, but I have been able to find very little information about it to date and haven't seen anything else like it yet. Does anyone have any information about this or similar pieces?
