Wes Hauch - Ibanez Iceman ICTB721

Would you get the xiphos or this?

[@Kmac2021]

@@WesHauchAlluvial Definitely the iceman, I like the xiphos style too but the iceman looks soooo clean

[@MrORLY]

@@Kmac2021 It is truly the ideal guitar for re-recording Pet Sounds front to back through a Fender Twin

[@mathumphreys]

I'm just happy to see and hear Wes.

[@marvelousdetermination]

like all of us, my friend

[@themodernguitarist]

Y'all know he just released a new Alluvial album right?

[@marvelousdetermination]

@@themodernguitarist yes bro, of course lol

[@Mazda13bRotary]

@Keith quesenberry His timing/feel and note choice make him a kick-ass riff machine. Crazy efficient technique as well. To be honest I find it hard to believe that you think he sucks.

[@GrimmMusic]

Those riffs with open strings and bending are mind blowing!

[@guitargogden]

Bring on ALL THE PLAYTHROUGHS!

[@mikemitchell7529]

The, Riffs! The Technique! Such tight playing.

[@mandoleiva9823]

That Iceman is insane. I swear I thought maybe we were getting a Wes Hauch signature so I waited before I picked up this iceman lol figured you’d go with the iceman shape. Glad to have you around Wes!

[@ESPSJ]

I have a feeling you were involved in the concept of these guitars... as soon as I saw the Iceman I thought 'WES HAUCH'. Now to just make my mind up which one to buy out of the models they just released. The Xiphos looks killer as well. I'd love a 7 string Destroyer with fixed bridge *hint hint* 😂

[@isaiahgrandt5305]

I thought the same. 7 string iceman just fits wes

[@christianolmeda]

I would imagine imagine Ibanez had a solid pulse on social and I think they would have seen the response at Wes breaking out the Iceman, which aside from the Paul Stanley model popping up here and there, I only ever saw it as a Paul Gilbert guitar. Wes breaking it out for some br00tz made me look at it differently. By the vibe of the comments when he started playing it, I know I wasn't the only one. I would attribute this directly to Mr. Hauch

[@WardenOfTerra]

Ibanez don't get artists involved in the production of their guitars unless they're INSANELY famous. Like, Steve Vai famous.

[@isaiahgrandt5305]

@@WardenOfTerra Ibanez has several artists that are less popular than Wes. But it wouldn’t hurt to make a couple lacs iceman 7s

[@ericsmith6633]

I was wondering when we’d see a vid of you playing this. Ever since your LACS iceman came out, everyone has wanted it lol!! Including me!! I’m really hoping they come out with a prestige version of this guitar

[@leoseanster]

You said it man. Better yet, a Wes signature. The man really knows how to make classy appointments.

[@ericsmith6633]

@@leoseanster agreed! Ya a wes sig would be sweet! I’m tempted in buying this IL iceman but I’ve been let down SO many times with indo ibys that I just buy prestige’s now. That way I know what I’m paying for. U know? Unless the indo made guitars have gotten better, but from my experience it’s a toss up. I will say I’m stoked that they are using the deactivators again! Instead of the fusions. That has me almost won over just cause i love those pups

[@tarkenton3895]

Wes, you have absolutely defined the guitar style I go for. Basically moved to a new city and went to a 2nd hand guitar shop, spotted a 2003 IC300 pretty much a week after you posted your first custom shop pics. I now own that one and 2 parts iceman guitars, one of which has a jazzmaster setup with a blazer neck (weird I know) and one that's a 7 string 26.5" scale with an RGD neck. It's such a fucking cool shape and is long like a jazzmaster which I also love.

[@Jeffmetal42]

Damn that guitar is nice af! Wes' playing is also godly, one of the most unique and identifiable guitarists of the times. Dude is unmatched!

[@Kildoezr]

I had to listen to this like 30 times in a row and it somehow got better every time. All hail Wes.

[@mandoleiva9823]

I’m pretty sure is still in the works, my brother and I do want this guitar still but we’re waiting to see if a signature iceman of yours comes out for 2022! Love your work Wes

[@deeforty]

Always captivating to watch wes play, such a perfect touch, like Rick Graham.

[@Ua-zr1og]

This is literally my dream guitar. I can’t wait until I’m able to get it!

[@Ua-zr1og]

Update, I now own it and yeah it is my favourite guitar I’ve ever owned! With it was a baritone scale but I kinda understand why it wasn’t considering the neck dive.

[@GreigSills]

100% correct shirt for this! Amazing playing dude.

[@ebaker5280]

Used to want an iceman because of white zombie way back, now that want is larger after seeing Wes with a white zombie shirt and iceman. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

The new album kicks, brother. I've been listening to it a ton, but Amazon won't let me buy it through the app yet.

[@DJ-zq2pb]

This was so good, it made yesterday better.

[@mikewatkins3533]

Damn!!!! That riff is monstrous and heavy!🍺🍺🍺🎸🎸🎸😎

[@LePhyx]

If they would build the iceman with a 27" scale I would definitely get one!

[@a10-thunderbolt]

I'm so glad Ibanez released it. Iceman's are so beautiful

[@michaelfrancis1]

Cheers from Texas! 🤘😎🤘 Killer guitar! Killer player! All the best! M

[@MICKSHRED]

I just heard your interview with Doc Coyle, it was great. I remember first hearing of you over 10 years ago. I thinks it's great that you talked about you downs as I can relate big time. Your still awesome!

[@davep7589]

Love your style of playing wes. DIFD

[@Kwb1982]

[@donkanalje5822]

what a great riff .

[@scottreid3540]

PLEASE try your best to keep putting out content bro! youre one of the most inspiring players out there right now. I feel like picking up my gitfiddle every time i watch you shred one out!!! love it dude.

[@MikeBaars83]

Sarcoma is pretty much on the headphones everyday. Great album. 👍🏼

[@stevetim2029]

wes is the best period

[@LorcanWard]

Wes is the man!

[@FilipFichoBoshevski]

I secretly hoped they’d keep it gloss black w. binding that was so classy. But, hey, finally an Iceman 7 so…👍 Excellent playing as always from master Wes 😎

[@beneaththehollow13]

I could watch ya play that chorus riff all day. Glad Ibanez is kicking out the iceman 7s again. But I think the xiphos stole the show on this line. That body lends itself to a matte black finish. If this iceman had a white binding it’d be all over it

[@NetherlordAxenrot]

Anything with Wes, I’m fuckin down! These new Ibe’s look and sound sickkkk 🔥🤘

[@therocketprophet1914]

Badass riffs on a badass guitar 🤙

[@MatthewMaranan]

Absolute unit of a guitar.

[@DomicidalCovers]

I am now tempted to try and learn that lead now that I've seen you and Jack Harris playing it these past couple of days haha. The Iby looks sick man! Reminds me of my old Epiphone gothic explorer which I wish I never got rid of.

[@ATronWhoFellToEarth]

I have a J. Yuenger Iceman and have been wanting another one since seeing your first custom...and now this. Gonna be an interesting year.

[@scarfacebug3663]

That chorus where you start bending the strings sounds so fuckin rad.

Amazing playing Wes! And a beautiful guitar brotha 🤘😎🤘

just got mine in the mail last week its so amazing

[@SouthStarBand]

Always amazing! this is my favorite iceman i've seen so far

Haunting track

[@blair821]

[@zacharydesjardins8115]

This is amazing. I just wish it had a longer scale 25.5 in for a 7 string seems to not be feasible tbh

[@jocklaws]

simply incredible...

[@razrshred]

Everything about this is amazing 😍🙏

[@zaqwoodward8851]

I’ve been waiting for this guitar for what seems like forever. Last IC-507 was Chinese junk and I couldn’t even intonate it. So happy to see the iceman 7 pushed up to the iron label line. Guess I’ll keep praying for a prestige but this will certainly do!

[@YourCaliBos]

25.5 scale w a 64 gauge for A is way to short , they need a longer scale length

[@tankdarla637]

Man that was DOPE. Subscribed! I wish I banez would offer more Iceman models, I have wanted one for years, I am still not ready for a 7 string...

[@chancelacinak7630]

Looks like I’m getting two guitars in 2022. This and your signature iceman when it comes out!

[@eliaskapravelos7171]

In the first time in my life I can say with confidence that I want a whole line of guitar models, the new iron label series is my LACS dream collection turned into a reality, I'll be 100% grabbing the xiphos 7.

[@pedrorufinopereira2482]

Came for the guitar. Stayed for the riffage. Awesome stuff.

[@Airtrooper719]

[@timsanders7223]

You seem to have at least another Iceman, will the new ICTB721 fit in the hard case of another model? ic400’s have a bigger body than the ict700

[@ThatBaritoneGuitarGuy]

Can Ibanez PLEASE make a 26.5 inch version, or maybe a 27 inch, like the LTD Black Metal series? As-is, it already has the exact specs I am looking for, but the standard 25.5 inch scale is simply too short for a 7-string. That is the one and only reason I didn't buy one. If a longer version existed, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

[@kirkbuffington6820]

I've never wanted an Ibanez, but this may have swayed me.

[@scottclaremont4164]

have you played the xiphos 7 string? if so what are the differences you noticed?

[@gseifers1]

Is there a ballpark street price for these yet? What a sick lineup though.

[@andykamulya8634]

Mr Hauch, how come they don't release the Destroyer as well in this line up? That one looks so sick!

[@denverwilliams22]

Let’s see the solo for Sarcoma👀

[@alexkopteev]

Sounds pretty good, interesting how it will sound compared to Xiphos

[@melibate]

Only thing giving me any pause from grabbing one of these bad boys (besides money) is that there isn't a version with a trem! To be honest that probably won't stop me for long though.

[@altiusmusic]

Crushing tones and a killer guitar body style to go with it ☠️

[@vincent_vega4046]

Fuck man; your riffs are just heavy as the burden of a thousand souls, same goes for your tone. Wish I had your tone and skills. :D It's a pleasure to listen to your playing. By the way I think this Iceman was a huge hit and miss; they should've made it with a baritone scale...

[@mjtan6787]

Hello Wes great playing! Just wanna ask does it stay in tune at A standard? The scale length is too short only 25.5
