General
The Ibanez EGEN18-DRG is the successor to the transparent purple version of Herman Li's signature electric guitar. It has the same lightweight, thin mahogany body with a marvellous flamed maple top that features a Dragon's Blood finish this time. It also has the same Kung Fu grip on the upper horn. This top-quality model from the Japanese Prestige series is also equipped with a single-coil pickup between the humbuckers and it's set deeper into the body so that it won't get in the way while you're playing.
EGEN18 Dragon's Blood
Other features include the Prestige fret edge treatment, the slim 5-piece maple and walnut neck and the rosewood fretboard that has a flatter 17-inch radius and 24 jumbo frets. At the upper end, the fretboard is scalloped which makes it easier for techniques like string bending and tapping. All of this gives the EGEN18 a high level of playing comfort and makes it perfect for fast playing as well. The DiMarzio HLM passive pickups have an HSH configuration and these, in combination with the 5-way pickup switch and volume and tone controls with push/pull functionality, give you a wide range of sounds to play with.
Dragonforce: contemporary heroes
The band Dragonforce is sometimes mockingly called 'Nintendo metal', due to the Pacman-like sounds that both guitarists like to incorporate into their tonal palette. However, this band has done more for modern guitar music than most other metal bands. With their appearance in the Guitar Hero video games, Dragonforce introduced a whole new generation to the lost art of guitar solos. Furthermore, they collaborated with Japanese band Babymetal on the song 'Road of Resistance', an anthem that has brought metal fans from all over the world together.
