Ibanez Herman Li Signature (Dragonforce Guitarist). This is basically an Ibanez Prestige Sabre (S Series) model with a few adjustments made. 2008 model so first year of production and it was known then as the EGEN1 model before switching to the EGEN18 name for the remaining years of production up to 2019. Mahogany body (with extra sculpting/recess on rear lower horn), Flame Maple Top, Neck is an EGEN Prestige but basically a Wizard Prestige....super slim. Herman's own HLM pickups designed by Steve Blucher and made by Di Marzio. Ibanez Edge Zero Trem with ZPS Stabiliser. Finish is Transparent Violet Flat.
So with this being a signature model Herman obviously wanted to put a few things on it and whilst I've never heard him openly admit there's a couple of little ideas nicked from the Jem Models. Frets 21-24 are scalloped. The Grip thing came next:
Ibanez Jem Monkey Grip:
Monkey Grip????
So he obvs couldn't do a Monkey Grip so came up with the Kung Fu Grip idea:
