only a snappy bolt-on solidbody will do.
the case—high enough to do some deep
bends, but low enough to really shred if I

The Verdict
The ICON Type 3 is a sophisticated
instrument with high-quality features and
exquisite looks. With its impressive sonic
versatility and quality components, it’s cer-
tainly a guitar that can give other set-neck
mahogany electrics a run for their money.
And given the advantage the ICON Type 3
has in terms of price, versatility, and qual-
ity electronics like Lollar pickups and the
H.D.R. High-Definition Revoicer, the ICON
has the potential to become a standard,
even an icon, in the years to come.
