Beauty and the Beast
One look at the Barbarian Nordic Ice and you’ll be entranced by its breathtaking aesthetics. An enchanting theme of blue and white evokes images of a remote Nordic landscape where glaciers meet the sea. The body has an aquamarine fade from a frosty white at the top into a rich teal blue at the bottom. This ombre effect simulates the merging colors of an arctic fjord.
To complete the glacial motif, the Nordic Ice has sparkling abalone and mother of pearl inlays across the fretboard and headstock. These icy accents glisten under stage lights like sunlight reflecting off a frozen lake. Even the trademark Barbarian carbon fiber racing stripes down the middle are tinted an icy blue instead of the usual red.
But don’t let the Nordic Ice’s beauty fool you. This is still a Barbarian at heart with a savage metal soul. The wicked pointed headstock lined with pointed inlays will skewer any doubters. And the Barbarian’s lethal shape with devilish horns and contours is built for speed. This is an instrument primed for battle on any metal stage.
Armor Fit for Valhalla
The Nordic Ice boasts premium components ready to survive years on the road to metal glory. Its foundation starts with a solid mahogany body joined to a mahogany neck with a smooth satin finish. This combination delivers the rich, well-balanced tone mahogany is revered for in electric guitars.
The Nordic Ice wields EMG active pickups – an 81 in the bridge and 60 in the neck. This classic metal pickup combination provides searing leads, tight rhythmic chugging, and phenomenal sustain. An active EMG TKO killpot knob allows players to cut volume completely when desired.
To facilitate smoothly navigating the fretboard, the Nordic Ice sports a comfortable C-shaped maple neck with 24 extra jumbo frets. And keeping this guitar in tune through thrashing riffs and dives is a double-locking Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo bridge.
This premium hardware is crafted to withstand years of intense touring and extreme string bending. The Barbarian Nordic Ice comes armed for the stage with gear ready for Valhalla.
Built for Pillaging and Plundering

The EMG 81/60 pickup combo delivers legendary active tone that cuts through a mix with definition and authority. Expect thick, tight rhythms and searing lead tones that wail with sustain.
And the Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo opens up all the divebombing and whammy effects your metal anthems demand. From fluttering warbles to full step bends, this guitar has the firepower to plunder any scale. A push-pull tone knob provides even more tonal options, allowing you to split the pickups for single coil tones.
