The New Wes Hauch Ibanez Is Amazing... and Unaffordable

Ibanez has finally announced the Wes Hauch signature ICWH727 Iceman, and this thing is a 7 string metal beast. The only issue is the price is around $10,000, making it pretty much unobtainable. In this video I go through the specifications of the new Wes Hauch signature guitar, including the 27" scale 7 string neck, Lo-Pro Edge 7 tremolo, Seymour Duncan Jupiter Rail humbuckers, Hipshot tuners, bound rosewood fretboard, flamed maple top, and custom construction details. I think this is probably going to be an incredible guitar, but at this price it's firmly in collector and diehard fan territory. That's a shame because this looks like a guitar that was made to be played hard. I also discuss diminishing returns with expensive guitars, why you don't need a $10,000 instrument to make great music, and whether I'd actually want one myself. 00:00 Intro and not sponsored Specs 00:24 Neck 01:24 Body 03:24 Frets 03:57 Bridge 04:19 Pickups and controls 04:43 String Gauge and tuners Thoughts 05:09 The price 05:31 Is this a good guitar? 06:11 Should you get this guitar? 08:39 Will I get this guitar? 09:17 An incredible guitar held back by the price “Bite the Air” EP on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/5iaPR4...
