Scalloped Fingerboard
The scalloped fingerboard on the upper frets is Herman Li’s own touch, for easier high note bending and tapping.

Deeper Cut Horn
Modeled using Herman’s hand, EGEN’s unique scoop cutaway at the back of the body allows even easier access to high frets from all angles.

Low-Profile Middle Pickup Setting
The Custom DiMarzio® pickup set is designed for a low-profile setting in the middle pickup position, not to get in the way of heavy rhythm down strokes to shredding alternate picking.

HERMAN LI
Herman Hong-Man Li is a British Chinese musician. He is one of the two lead guitarists for the power metal band DragonForce. Li draws influences from rock, all subgenres of metal as well as video game music and often mimics sounds from popular retro games from the late 80s, early-90s arcade, and PC games. For example, Li has been known for making several Pac-Man-like noises in the song “Through the Fire and Flames” on Inhuman Rampage. Recently, he has started to use a device called the Hot Hand that sits on his right hand like a ring, which causes extreme vibrato when shaken, giving him greater capacity to emulate certain video game sounds. Li has stated Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Tony MacAlpine guitar playing heavily inspired his own style.
