[edit] Origins

The Ibanez E-Gen was introduced in 2008 as Herman Li’s signature model. It is derived from the Ibanez S prestige models. [1]

[edit] Features

The E-Gen is a solid body electric guitar made of mahogany with a flame maple inlay. The neck is a five piece maple/walnut configuration. It features jumbo frets, a rosewood fingerboard and an abalone oval inlay. It features the Edge Zero bridge as well. The pickups are custom designed by DiMarzio.It features a bolt on wizard one neck, and is an arch top guitar. The hardware has a gold finish and the body has a transparent violet flat finish. In addition, frets 21-24 are scalloped and the routings on the upper horn of the guitar form a grip handle, very similar to the "monkey"-shaped grip handle of the Ibanez Jem series.[2]
