I told a fellow guitar player friend of my plans to buy an Iceman

[Reverend Conehead]

I plan to buy this guitar:

That's an Ibanez Iceman, and it's one of the best and most beautiful guitars ever made. I have to have one. Soon I'll have the bucks together to get one. I told a fellow guitarist friend of mine of my plans, and he called the Iceman "fugly." What????? How could anyone say that? I accused him of being a communist.

Personally I would rather have a Flying V..

Never been a huge fan of the Iceman. The only person I know that plays it is Paul Stanley of Kiss. Of course, that's just my opinion. I too would go with the Gibson Flyging V. I've always wanted one, but never enough to actually buy one. If I were going to go out and by a V. It would be a Jackson USA RR1 Randy Rhoads with the Eerie Dess Swirl paint job.

Anel Paz and Steve Miller both played the Iceman, not exclusively, but that's true of Paul Stanley also. It's not a guitar as visible as many like the Les Paul or the Strat, but I like it a lot.

Edit: Correction, it was Anel Paz, not Neil Schon.

I agree with your buddy. Never been a big fan of "weird" shaped guitars.

The one exception being the Gibson Flying V. Mostly for sentimental reasons.

To each his own though. Enjoy the hell out of that ugly guitar!
