The electric guitar of a new generation.
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-Gen8 is played by Li exactly as it is, live on stage, in the studio, right off-the-shelf without any
modifications. The 3-piece maple EGEN bolt-on neck has the high-speed Ibanez Wizard II profile that gives Herman the playability
he needs. A 24-fret rosewood fretboard is special oval inlays.
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 EGEN. The new Edge III
is similar in construction and feel to the original Edge locking tremolo; however, it also features lower profile fine-tuners
inspired by the Lo-PRO Edge and massive new-design saddles.
The EGEN8 pickup force is ready and able for a wide range
of sound and attack: V7 (H) neck, S1 (S) mid, and V8 (H) bridge. The Vintage 7 neck humbucker with ceramic magnet is tight
but bright, very dynamic for chording and rhythm. The SINGLE 1 in the middle position is traditional-sounding yet high output
single coil with Alnico-5 pole pieces for even string output. Designed to work with humbuckers in the split position. The
Vintage 8 bridge humbucker with alnico magnet is warm yet articulate lead pickup with enhanced overtones. Good harmonics
without excessive brightness.

actual right hand!
"The Ibanez E-Gen is THE electric guitar of the new generation. Fusing incredible diverse tones,
playability and innovation into one single beautiful instrument. This is the slickest guitar I have ever played, now I can
take my guitar skills to the next level. From crystal clear sounds to shredding ripping metal, the E-Gen does it all!" - Herman
Li
