EGEN Pickups - Available but would you buy them ?

[Jaden]

So, I can get EGEN pickup sets but they are expensive, they do not come in a flashy jewel case with presentation card because... well they are not a production pickup..
so, anyone interested in a set?
as a guide expect to pay... a lot.

I know nothing about them, details?

[Jaden]

ah, sorry I should have said that they are the standard fitment to that EGEN - Herman Li signature S series guitar.

the pickup set is described as a custom (whic it is) set from dimarzio - the HLM set..
and like it say, is fitted to this guitar http://www.ibanez.com/ElectricGuitars/Series-EGEN

I'd be interested to know what they're like. If they're just a slightly modified EVO set, then probably not. If they're REALLY realyl good? then yes.

I'm not feeling it, maybe if it was someone elses signature pickups hahaha. Even then probably not.

Herman Li said that the neck pickup has been designed to sound like a neck pickup of a 22 fret guitar, even though it's not in the same place as it would be on one. They are also fine tuned for thin, mahogony guitars, he said.

It's all I know about them, though. Apart from the short descriptions on Ibanez's site.

He said that in this video. Check it out:

Personally I'd say no, not really interested until there's more "standard DiMarzio info" on them like the tone graph and output, so on paper at least, I can make comparisons to their other pickups.

well he used evolutions and so i think it is safe to assume that they are a variant of the evolution set.
