Ibanez ICTB721-BKF

ICTB721-BKF (Black Flat) Iron Label Iceman 7-str. Iceman is one of the most classic Ibanez models, models with more extreme shapes and designs. Guitars for guitarists looking for anything but the traditional, guitars for Heavy Metal that stand out and take up space. Iceman speaks a very clear language about what it is built to be used for, optimized in every detail to be a full-fledged "take no prisoner" metal machine. With a look dripping with attitude that demands its place, powerful in-your-face pickups and an extremely easy-to-play neck, it lets all your riffs come out exactly as you intended them. If you want noting too stand in your way on your quest for low tuned world domination, this is the weapon for you. But it would work just as well even if you thought "that one's obviously for me and my fag disco band", a little attitude doesn't bother there either. The guitar is equipped with DiMarzio D Activator-7 pickups. The D Activator is a hot pickup with a straight EQ curve that allows it to cut through and hold together even with very distant sounds, perfect for hard riffing and flying soloing. The neck is an Ibanez Wizard III neck, Wizard III is a slightly thicker version of the popular Wizard profile, also a little rounder and softer profile. It also has a radius of 400mm instead of the Wizard neck's 430mm. The neck is a 5-piece neck-thru construction (that the neck continues through the entire body) and reinforced with KTS titanium reinforcement, two titanium rods that lie parallel to the support rod so that the neck is less sensitive to climate changes and less prone to moving or twisting. An extremely powerful and durable construction. The rest of the body (the wings on the side of the neck) is made of mahogany, a very beautiful type of wood that goes in the slightly warmer and midrange direction in terms of sound. The treble is a little softly rounded but without losing clarity and separation. It has a pleasant hump in the midrange that makes the sound of melody/solo playing fat and singing with long sustain.
