PAS 8 Organic Ice

[Maikh]

The topic is about my custom 8-string guitar called Organic Ice from PAS Guitars. I decided to create guitar with Iceman shape.

Some specs below:
-name: PAS 8 Organic Ice
-body: ash
-finish: you'll see at the end, surprise
-scale: 30,3"
-pickup: bridge Merlin S8
-bridge: custom PAS
-fingerboard: rosewood
-neck: ovangkol, set-in

During this month luthier will be creating my guitar and so on there will be some photos of it and of course at the end will be final photos of my guitar.

Photo story (still under construction, but it's near the end):

This will be most impressive I believe we now have two custom Iceman 8s in the making now.

Yea definitely a fan, I like the 5 and 3 headstock a lot actually.

When I drew up a cad design for a fan fretted 8, I did a 5+3 headstock, it helps keep the string line straight to the machine head. I have no idea why, but all the luthiers I know told me that was very important for sustain.

Not to mention on the right headstock it looks badass.

That iceman looks cool, I never really dug the iceman shape but it really is growing on me with all these customs.

A picture is worth a thousand words!

Also, how much is this gonna run you? I've been considering places to get a custom 8. You can pm me if you'd like to keep that info private.

Looks nice, but fret access to the higher frets looks iffy.

Extended range Iceman = WIN.

Do want.

Looks awesome man, i love the iceman shape too.
However, i suggest you move the strap button upwards, like on the ICT700 or my project. It will be neck heavy, and that strap location will not help. If you put it above the 'sharp edge' it will be much more comfy!

And maybe look more into the tuner holes.. maybe a bit of a extreme angle..

Anyhow! I really like the headstock design and can't wait for updates man!

P.S. Where is the second iceman8?
