Ibanez In The Late '70s

Collector and writer Pete Prown traces his decades-long obsession with late-1970s Ibanez guitars—from his teenage purchase of an Iceman IC200 on Manhattan’s 48th Street to hunting down Professional, Destroyer, and triple-coil models—re-evaluating how these original Japanese designs hold up today. Along the way, Prown shares conversations with then-marketing director Jeff Hasselberger about models co-developed with Bob Weir, Randy Scruggs, and Steve Miller.
