Signature guitar of the Brazilian metal virtuoso Kiko Loureiro
With the Ibanez Kiko Loureiro Prestige KIKO100-TRR Transparent Ruby Red the first signature guitar of the Brazilian Guitar Hero, who earned his spurs among others with the South American power metal pioneers Angra and the thrash institution Megadeth, returns to the portfolio of the Japanese company. Based on the Saber design modified according to Loureiro's wishes, the guitar comes with an alder body including a chic curly maple top and a maple-walnut neck with rosewood fingerboard designed for fast playing techniques. At the guitar amp, DiMarzio KIKO Original pickups in HSH configuration also provide versatile metal sounds that are not only suitable for virtuoso high-speed solos, but also for tight riffing. naturally, a tuning stable and buttery smooth Ibanez Edge Double-Locking Tremolo completes the equipment of the KIKO100-TRR Transparent Ruby RedSignature guitar by Ibanez.
The Ibanez Kiko Loureiro Prestige KIKO100-TRR Transparent Ruby Red convinces as a signature guitar of the Brazilian metal guitarist with first-class playing characteristics and diverse sound colors.
Modified Saber design with first-class handling.
As a basis for the Japanese-built KIKO100 Signature guitar, Kiko Loureiro chooses the Saber design reworked according to his wishes. Due to the more powerful alder body with ergonomic shapings, the electric guitar convinces with a particularly stable balance. The obligatory All Access Neck Joint also allows unhindered playability of all positions of the five-piece maple-walnut neck, whose slim "KIKO" profile creates ideal conditions for accomplished high-speed playing techniques. The arched barrel horn top and matching veneer on the headstock also provide support for the dignified look of the electric guitar.
DiMarzio KIKO Original pickups
The electrical sound transformation of the Ibanez KIKO100 Signature guitar is done by DiMarzio KIKO Original pickups in HSH configuration, which were specially tuned to the genre-spanning sound ideas of the guitar genius from Rio de Janeiro. The humbuckers in neck and bridge position feature a surprisingly moderate Output for metal pickups, and guarantee excellent dynamics and razor-sharp articulation of every note across the entire gain spectrum. The powerful single coil in the middle position, on the other hand, convinces with a particularly warm sound and a lively response. In addition to the classic Ibanez 5-way switching with general volume and tone pots, the electric guitar also offers the option to split the individually selected neck and bridge pickups.
Reliable hardware equipment
Of course, Ibanez completes the KIKO100-TRR Transparent Ruby RedSignature guitar with indestructible attachments that easily exceed Kiko Loureiro's professional demands on functionality and reliability. The bridge is the well-tried Ibanez Edge tremolo, which not only convinces with its smooth handling, but also keeps the guitar reliably in the correct tuning due to the double-locking construction, even after frequent reaches for the whammy bar. Behind the clamp saddle, Gotoh tuners bring the Kiko Loureiro Signature guitar quickly and precisely in tune.
