Designed to the specs of one of modern metal’s most prominent 6-string masters, the Ibanez Kiko Loureiro Signature KIKOSP3 electric guitar boasts a high-performance feel and tonal flexibility that defy this instrument’s humble price. The KIKOSP3's lightweight poplar body is topped with an eye-catching flamed maple Art Grain top, then fitted with a jatoba-on-maple neck carved into Kiko’s preferred KIKOSP3 profile for a slick, fast feel. Beyond that, the KIKOSP3’s 24 medium frets are shaped into a flat 400mm radius to accommodate any style — although it’s admittedly an ideal fingerboard combo for blazing solos and brutal metal rhythms! Finally, an exceptionally versatile HSH pickup combo of two Infinity R humbuckers and a middle-position Infinity RS single-coil are ready to take on everything from Megadeth-style thrash metal to harmonically dense bossa nova cleans reminiscent of Kiko’s home country of Brazil.
Triple-pickup HSH configuration with versatile switching
While Kiko is primarily known for his metal playing, his decades-long career has transported him all over the musical map — suffice to say, he needs an axe fit to cover a wide range of sonic styles. It’s no surprise then that the Kiko Loureiro Signature electric guitar’s HSH combination of two Infinity R humbuckers and a middle-position Infinity RS single-coil excel in everything from modern metal aggression to pristine and shimmering cleans, allowing you to effortlessly tackle any genre in the book with a single axe. What's more, the push-pull volume control splits up your humbuckers to provide even more son
A neck built for mega-metal mastery
The Ibanez Kiko Loureiro Signature electric guitar’s neck was fine-tuned to meet its namesake's 6-string needs, boasting a plethora of high-performance features that will be sure to please any technically minded guitarist. A sturdy piece of maple forms the foundation of this neck, topped with a sleek piece of jatoba for a smooth, comfortable feel that guitarists find comparable to a classic rosewood board. Next, the neck is studded with 24 medium frets in a 400mm radius, making everything from "Dystopia"-style metal theatrics to chugging low-fret riffs a breeze to play. Lastly, the locking nut and reliable Ibanez machine heads ensure that your tuning remains stable and strong, no matter how intense your playing gets.
