Description
American Showster first gained recognition in the guitar market with the introduction of its '57 tail fin-shaped guitars in the mid-to-late '80s, and then later with its metal-loaded guitars, which used metal inside of the guitar bodies to add extra sustain. What has always set American Showster guitars apart tonally is their creative use of metal to enhance the guitars' inherent sound and sustain qualities. Compared with the '57 tail fin guitar, the Icepick is a much more conventional-looking instrument, but it still reflects the company's automotive motif and also uses metal to augment the guitar's sound.
This guitar shows evidence of wear, the metal pieces of the guitar have minor scratches, and the finish has small amounts of playing wear. There are a small amount of minor dings in the guitar. The back of the headstock is labaled and signed by Rick Excellente, the founder of the company.
