These were discontinued/out of stock for a while. I built one. Fun project. Overall quality was better than expected:

Nice finish PJ! Are the electronics and hardware the original stuff from the kit?

All stock. Hardware is okay, but the PUPs are surprisingly good. Lots of sustain and punch.

Killer! You need to play with Daron from System of a Down... he loves his Iceman collection, and this one is a close match to yours.. :)

Thanks for the compliments everyone. Admittedly, the finish color was an accident. I had requested ice blue metallic, and the photos on their website led me to believe it would be lighter. So it's one of those colors that can change tint greatly depending on how the light hits it:

FYI, the lefty Iceman kits are back on eBay. As I first time builder, I'm pretty happy with how mine turned out (see above).
