Switching System
Nine pickup configurations for versatile tone
from super clean to extreme metal.
Pickup / Character
eck: Warm, clean, strong attack. Great for warm singing solos, clean sweep picking tone. Pull volume switch up to split coil for a more classic sound or go smooth and clean.
Middle: This pickup features a warm and punchy high-output design. The middle pickup has been designed to be mounted deeper into the guitar's body so it stays out of the way when picking, yet still remains perfectly in balance with the neck and bridge pickups.
Bridge: High output, screaming harmonics. Perfect for fast tight heavy rhythm, loud solos, responsive to speed finger tapping.
Special Deeper Cut on Lower Horn
Modeled using Herman's hand. E-Gen's unique scoop cutaway at the back of the body, allows even easier access to high frets from all angles.
Special 'Kung Fu' Grip on Upper Horn
Herman's essential feature for his performance on stage.
Edge-Zero Bridge E-Gen Custom
The most stable and versatile locking bridge. Customised Edge-Zero bridge with specially designed springs for Herman's preferred tremolo bar feel; smoother with increased sensitivity. Deeply routed tremolo cavity makes the E-Gen capable of an extremely wide range of whammy bar tones and applications. From the most screamingly high harmonics to guttural dive-bombs, this tremolo system does it all! The Edge-Zero E-Gen Custom also includes 'locking studs' bridge posts as an optional installation.
Low-Profile Middle Pickup Setting
The Custom DiMarzio® pickup set is designed for a low-profile setting in the middle pickup position, to not get in the way of heavy rhythm down strokes to shredding alternate picking.
