Swapping neck nuts

[wazkelly]

Iceman is basically what Ibanez were forced to come up with as a result of the lawsuit era so that they didn't get sued for continuing to make Explorer copies.

It is effectively a Gibson (G style) neck where the nut is at the end of the fret board whereas Fender (F style) have a groove cut into the fret board and therefore can be a bit more tricky to remove. A light tap towards the tuners and it will easily pop off.

You mention that it is a left hand neck and wondering is the body also a lefty too as that lower horn will end up in all the wrong places if it is.

Thank you Dedman, WeirdBits, Corsair, Brendan, Dr.Nomis and Dave. Your info was very helpful, much appreciated guys.
Yeah, i wanted the hook on top similar to the Fireman. Here are the pics of my finished project. Reversed lefty Iceman...Now a Fireman Bass. Its a pearl white finish with a marble effect and a coating of clear pearl glitter nail polish stolen from my Fiancee ! Haha.

She knows. She is great and liked the idea and result. But i bought her another 2 more bottles to replace what i used.

Good man, and you're still breathing. So you must have done something right.

I wasn't breathing much with the fumes of the nail polish ! Haha.

Not the best time to think about lighting up a smoke either.
