Product Description

When DragonForce guitarist Herman Li wanted a guitar that could handle his otherworldly technique and musicality, both he and Ibanez knew it would take time to get everything just right. It took three years. But they did get it right. The Ibanez E-Gen is played by Li exactly as it is, live on stage, in the studio, right off the shelf without any modifications.

Features
- EGEN 24-fret neck

- Mahogany body with flamed maple top

- EGEN18TVF features calloped frets on higher (21st-24th) frets

- Special upper horn grip and deeper lower cutaway

- Low-profile middle pickup for extreme picking

- Gold hardware

The Edge III bridge/tremolo design provides even more stability and strength under the most demanding playing conditions. Now in gold hardware for Herman's EGEN8!

3.5 out of 5 (9 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
"A fine guitar. I enjoy using it. I don't follow Dragonforce or Herman Li (my sons do) even though he was born here in Hong Kong."
Sound: As a professional guitarist and guitar tacher for over 40 years I've played a lot of guitars. I've been a Stratman since the '60's with occasional switches to Gretsch and Gibson. This guitar took a certain amount of time to set up properly. The sound is very good and varied and suits my mixture of music ranging from the '50's through to the '80's. I tested it for a long time before purchase. I will be using it with a Marshall amp amongst others. Feature: The guitar came with the usual allen keys and spare spring. Ease of Use: Easy to get the good sounds I need from this guitar. Quality: Very nicely made. I treat my guitars carefully and make them last. As long as possible. Value: Definitely worth what I paid for it. Manufacturer Support: No dealings as yet with Ibanez. The Wow Factor: It appeals to me and everyone else who sees it. I don't know about it's "sex appeal". I don't really bother about that too much!! Overall: I expaect to use a product for a long time if I buy it. I would replace it if lost or stolen.
Style of Music: Mainly oldies, '50's to '70's.

Sound: I purchased this for my son for a graduation gift, then I thought I wanted to keep it for myself! Great quality, Many great sounds, 24 frets (I was hoping 21-24 were scalloped-not). Lightweight MONSTER!! Standard pick ups offer good tones. Feature: Natural flame maple top, mahogany body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard- A beautiful guitar. Hand grip. Edge III Tremlo (I have this in my Sam Totman Iceman and Love it! Push pull split coil volume- more great tones! I wanted Scalloped frets -not on this model! Ease of Use: Played tight for me, My son loves it though for fast shredding. Quality: Very good quality guitar for the price!! Value: Worth the price!! The Wow Factor: Very good appearance- wish there were more color choices. Overall: A great addition to my son's collection!
Style of Music: Rock/alternative
