The neck on the 1979 Iceman is reported to be thinner than expected, nearly reaching Ibanez's wizard level, contrasting with thicker necks on some ESP models.

It's important to consider that lower-end models, like the PS60, may require initial adjustments like fret leveling for optimal playability.

Newer Iceman models may require initial setup adjustments like addressing fret buzz and intonation issues upon arrival.

Particularly suited for metal and doom/sludge genres, but may not be optimal for thrash/death metal due to tonal preferences.
