A Wallet-friendly Take on Kiko's Signature Axe
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.
