On the vintageibanez.tripod site it looks exactly like the IC210 (like Steve Miller played) except fot the fret inlays. My iceman has dots instead of rectangles. This was enough of an issue for a buyer to withdraw his offer to buy it. I just wanted to clarify this matter so I do not misrepresent what I'm selling. Here is a photo of it: http://www.musicswapshop.com.au/images/stock/1437.jpg Captainibanez Username: Captainibanez Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Wednesday, January 31, 2007 - 2:13 am:    Maade17, it certainly appears to be a IC210 model, however, it may have been a what is called a "spot production model" with it having a dot neck instead of the sloping block inlays. With the serial number being L77 = December 1977, then its a good chance that they may have done a run of say 200 to 300 units with dot fret markers for other markets around the world.The reasons behind this is that the production model IC210 feautured in the 1978 catalogue has the different fret markers to your guitar, as the dot style markers may not have been as popular with Ibanez's world wide distributors at the time . I don't think you are misrepresenting what you are selling,but thats my 2 cents worth. Hope this info helps Captain Ibanez Maade17 Username: Maade17 Registered: 01-2007 Posted on Wednesday, January 31, 2007 - 2:41 am:    Thank you for your time and the info
