Serial # is K777451, which i take to be a Iceman, made in October of 1977, #7451 (?) made that month. The guitar is tobacco sunbirst, with two humbucking piclkops, 4 pots, a 3 position toggle on the top of the guitar body, neck through design and a standard Les Paul styke tailpiece with a really nice bridge. So am I in he ballpark on he age and serial #? Sixvsix Username: Sixvsix Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Tuesday, September 20, 2005 - 8:01 pm:    Correct year but K=Nov Cruz.

He has contacted me by email Captain Ibanez I saw Flatbags IC400 that he got for $350 at a pawn shop a few weeks ago when he bought it along to my Captain Ibanez show...what a bargain.Its in very good condition for its age.

I've got a '78 IC200, and it's a fantastic guitar, and I've played one IC400 before and that was fantastic (though the shop had overpriced it somewhat! IMO).

It has really been through a lot, someone at one point stepped on the cord while playing, causing some pretty severe damage aound the input jack, and the body has more than is fair share of nicks and bruises. I would like to find an original truss rod cover, but tehy seem as rare as hens teeth. cruzerjd Skybone Username: Skybone Registered: 03-2001 Posted on Thursday, September 22, 2005 - 8:51 am:    but tehy seem as rare as hens teeth. Welcome to the world of old Ibanez guitars! ;) My IC200 has definitely seen a bit of action too, and sounds the better for it IMO!
