EGEN - Herman Li

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-Gen18 is played by Li exactly as it is, live on stage, in the studio, right off the shelf without any modfications.
