Mike McCready’s Ibanez Iceman PS10

Mike was seen using this guitar in 2013 on a gig he played with the bandmates from his first band called Shadow (active in the mid to late 80s), where they played a cover of Kiss’ song “Black Diamond”. The guitar is a Paul Stanley signature model, so it would make sense that Mike would use it for that occasion.

But, it’s also important to mention that Mike also used an Ibanez Iceman way before he became a professional musician, so it’s definitely a model he’s familiar with.

Out of our advance, Stone and Jeff bought me a black 1962 Japanese reissue Stratocaster. It was just so cool. I was like, ‘Oh my god…’ Because I had always wanted one. I had a Telecaster prior to that, and before that I had an Ibanez Iceman and a Kramer. But that was my first Strat.
