[@BruceBurger]

Oh man Herman is awesome! 😅

[@davidallen346]

Custom shop guitars are so much fun just not the prices

[@hakushiro9910]

at 7:20 my first thought was "how is his name supposed to be chris?" damn subconscious racism

[@RichardGarcia93]

L

[@RedDragonAutobot97]

Just the way he said "I know what I'm talking about" is awesome

[@haricotvert3904]

Ben Affleck and Herman Li should do Something together. No homo tho.

[@DrPepperbro231]

Herman Li's accent is really confusing..... I can't tell if its a british or an asian accent.

[@higler.]

It's both. He was born in Hong Kong, later moved to the U.K.

[@fivequackingzephyrs]

It's hybrid

[@lukedavies9708]

Yes

[@ridhowiranatakusumah6531]

Its called asian guy tryinh british accent like me

[@michaelr.4878]

Herman Li is the freaking man.

[@marcbenjamsojayco]

i'm so happy getting one of those in a few days.... i'm so exited!!!

[@dannyreyna2821]

You can't go wrong with Ibanez guitars. Period!!! A perfect instrument for the 21 century musician or rocker.

[@bbgMickey]

Damn he's left handed,and he play right handed guitar like a monster

[@mattyfizzle]

Um lol I'm pretty sure he was saying he's a lefty when it comes to writing (or in this case, painting).

[@AlexRamosDrTaz]

There are a good number of guitarists in history that are left handed all around, but play right handed. One great guy that comes to mind is Steve Morse. Most likely out of necessity, as there weren't many left handed models until the improvements in manufacturing finally caught up with demand.

[@ZIGSVIDS]

Michael Joshua Gary Moore was left handed

[@saiyaniam]

Writing and playing guitar are two very different things, being left handed means very little

[@chromeboy37000]

it's not a scoop..... i pee with the right and i scratch my balls with my left

[@thelobsterperson]

I want that T-Shirt! Sick guitar, keep up the good work Herman.

[@luneteams]

Herman's shirt just reminds me of Sam's 'I

[@theheadlessguitarist7]

Some obvious influence from Steve Vai's JEM here. The last four frets are scalloped, there's a handle built into it, and its pickup configuration is HSH. He's a great guitarist. I guess everyone has to get their influence from somewhere.

[@racingandmusicmylife]

wish i could see the making of other signature guitars, would be awesome!

[@connorcampbell144]

01:10 that guitar is fantastic! No strings, no knobs (ha ha) no pickups yes I would do through the fire and the flames with that! Ha

[@Mord0s]

Interesting footage, I enjoyed watcing

[@TheMugMusician]

I love that he's just walking wherever he wants.

[@Denorian]

im in love with that guitar, sadly is kinda expensive here in Argentina

[@infectionsman]

the prototype s24 in the beginning is soo sweet!!!

[@knikk77]

Should have picked original Edge bridge... Are you selling the prototype with the Original Edge? Love the original edge!

[@JorgeLeitner]

That was brilhant work! It look awesome!

[@rmshredz]

yes, there is a difference... my grandmother is ambidextrous, she can write with either hand (usually she writes on paper w/ her left and on a chalkboard w/ her right) and my stepfather is co-dominant, but with a dominant right hand... either way i do get impressed easily with this kind of stuff xD

[@naastione]

Bring on Soundwave 2015!!! Can't wait to see you there!

[@robertclarkguitar]

I have a rare one. The ibanez s370 rrf. Man I love it. 2001 run...s series is my fave.

[@TheRAVENofHEART]

The first thing i notice in this video was the shirt... I'm totally getting that shirt for my band!!!

[@skuzemeewtfurdoin]

SICK

[@WeCube1898]

That Guitar is a work of Art wielded by The Master Herman Li

[@DriveAndDesire]

His left hand is his dominant hand, but plays guitar right handed; it's pretty common. Mark Knopfler and Danny Gatton do the same, along with some other famous players that I can't remember!

[@lucas23453]

Herman li sounds like a combination of several different accents... Like im getting some northern england, bit of Londoner, bit of cockney, and a bit of a Chinese/Japanese accent.

[@guitarwhores753]

I don't believe his shirt :D

[@pilotamurorei]

This guitar is one of Ibanez's more expensive Artist Signature models (Steve Vai being the most expensive I've seen on the website) but being an Ibanez user myself this guitar is absolutely awesome. If I was gonna fork the money out for this modified S model, i'd do it. I'm more partial to the RG series though.

[@DjAchillies]

That shirt is awesome!

[@MrElguitarrero]

i cant stop watching this video

[@Viewbob_True]

Herman Li ftw

[@tasteegold7772]

herman sounds like randall the midget from the time bandits movie lol kinda looks like him too..love ya herman and frank gambale loves your guitar ..soo much so it used to be his signature model ;P

[@ZeeJay]

To think that one of those samples would eventually be available for purchase to the public. I’d kill for that monster

[@Akantorkriller]

DF ftw! Nice T-shirt, herman :D 5*

[@Selrisitai]

I love how he has an Asian accent AND an English accent!

[@wombat6]

I don't really like DragonForce or Herman Li, but I went here for the "making of" thing and it's nice. And damn that shirt is badass ^^

[@Chris_Tinacan]

I love Herman Li, he seems like such a sound guy :P

[@TheVoorhees13]

lovely man

[@daltonhallett3679]

"designed by me" ... right, that grip thing totally makes it not just an s series...

[@Gabriel_Micah]

Also the specific parts list that goes into the guitar

[@Jrock-dx6cd]

Right. All he did was change some of the aesthetics

[@7James77]

And the Jem is just an RG Series with a hole cut in it, and Yngie's Start is just a Strat. Such a Great EYE you have. Unfortunately for those who actually play guitar and have played the top of the line vs bottom of the barrel and in the middle, I guarantee the changes he made makes it stand out from a standard S series. The scallop in the body to reach the high frets being a significant change to the s series, the scalloped 4 frets, the specific pickups made for the guitar, the specific new bridge. You won't get an S-series with all of that hardware and sound without getting that specific model.

[@williamgag]

LESS PRICEY !!! different finish, different pickups,

[@sebbzterNr1]

realy awsum stuff! would like to get one if they were not so expensive:P!

[@Calvinios]

This is from the bonus dvd from ultra beatdown LOL at shirt too

[@pieroog]

Herman is such a cool guy :)

[@douggreymont]

his guitars are killer they are so cool

[@Anthares87]

Im an ESP fan but this guitar is just amazing

[@Daavidforce]

Daavidforce I ♥ DRAGONFORCE! lml

[@Chanzilla]

Awesome guitar and awesome guitarist!!! I hate people who see comments from other videos that are top rated, then copy that and paste it on a different video in an attempt to get a lot of thumbs up. Be original...

[@joelveramendi1]

ME GUSTA TU ESTILO Y EL SONIDO PECULIAR QUE REGISTRAR AL MOMENTO DE TOCAR ¡VIVA DRAGOFORCE!

[@TheIINgGIICaveman]

@reshad1 take it to a shop dude have them check it out it might not be set up right also if u fix the issue let me know was interested in buying the 8 :)

[@ScoutSniper1990]

Best guitars made for metal and speed playing!!!

[@alexanderjonescabaling438]

I thought Herman holds his Ibanez EGEN8 PLB 0:14 - 0:33

[@rampage222555]

@yanava not really, its a normal S guitar with 24 frets, 4 of which are scalloped. the hand mark is made with his hand, but its more of a cosmetic feature. the features on this would make it a pretty good alternative to a Jem or prestige. I can honestly see les people buying a satch sig guitar if they were looking at specs.

[@ethanyong7171]

yay left handers are awesome

[@blackgulaman14]

w0w nice guitar!!! i wish i'll that one!!

[@jcdenton616]

I always mix Herman Li with John Myung

[@H057IL3]

Hey Herman, where did you get that awesome shirt? XD I want one!

[@seltunkoko]

I’m watching again today 2021

[@Ry_Valz]

put clay on that sample design thick enough to get that precise mold of your grip.

[@welcometowarzone]

Thank you

[@dhaniOliver]

did he just say " E -Djent"? Lol

[@DriveAndDesire]

I think it's called co-dominance. I do the same thing, I write with my left hand but do everything else right handed... It's weird. Ambidextrous would mean he could do anything with either hand and be entirely comfortable, but that's VERY rare, most people who say they're ambidextrous are probably co-dominant.

[@ctsaustin]

4:32 gets me every time

[@Rainok]

I love your shirt, it makes me laugh

[@rcpunisher91]

lmao at 8:19 "And soo bassely" hahahaha

[@rmshredz]

so he's ambidextrous, but with a dominant left hand and plays with his right hand... i have to respect this guy \m/

[@sammydaboul6781]

6:32 take that!

[@guitarheaven1747]

I have the Ibanez E-GEN 8 PLB but when I played a scream down with the tremolo, especially the g- string ended (as soon as I released) about a half tone under the normal g, and if I pulled the tremolo up, it went back to the normal tone. Does this come from to much tremolo-playing?

[@drmonstaa1]

+Guitar Heave n try to have it set up correctly... as in make sure the bridge is parallel to the body, make sure it comes back to that position, adjust the spring tension, etc. search "set up floyd rose" or "set up ibanez edge"

[@thesystima]

The Edge Zero bridge is absolutely garbage until you get it set up correctly. Take it to a pro. My XPT700 has an EZ3 bridge and I should most likely get it changed because fuck. The knife edges on the EZ series are known for breaking reatively quickly

[@Jake-ns4iq]

Its pretty cool how hands on he is with HIS signature model guitars. I would just say “fuck it, make whatever for me!” Haha

[@tejasbuck2]

Are there any left handed models?

[@mclovin119]

actualy im waiting for sounds test..

[@randyhibshman3682]

I occasionally hear a Nigel Tufnel influence coming through in Herman’s comments.

[@000trashcanhero000]

i loled at herman's shirt xD

[@rodrigomaravilla1644]

I like his shirt.

[@DalltonSantos]

seem´s to be a cool guitar

[@louislaporte5571]

I want the same t-shirt as Li

[@darshan5044]

He breaks rhe headstock of this guitar later😢

[@5TheKingOfPop5]

That shirt is epic

[@JaCiCaBj2000]

2:54 to 3:05 guitars guitars guitars everywhere!

[@MAKUTAKOTAKO]

E-gen is nice guitar!!!

[@GreyPunkWolf]

4:32 - 4:34 i i i know i'm talking about!! (just a sweet bug, Herman, we apologize it :3 )

[@mikezhgaming9965]

What model is that original s series guitar?I want buy it.

[@mcface5531]

oh wow, checking it out now. Must be new to 2010. However, I would rather get the whole lot and pay more, or get a different ibanez, like an iceman.

[@MrAntonietor]

i love his t-short

[@xXNiMaPXx]
