The KIKO200 is a solid body electric guitar introduced by Ibanez in 2018. It is a Signature guitar of Brazilian guitarist Kiko Loureiro of the metal bands Angra and Megadeth. The KIKO200 was made in Japan by FujiGen.
In a departure from the earlier KIKO models which were based on the S series, the KIKO200 appears to be based on an RGA series body.
The KIKO200 features a 3mm thick AAAA grade quilted maple top on a mahogany body bolted to a wenge and maple neck with a 24-fret Macassar ebony fingerboard with small dot position markers and a special inlay at the first fret. The output is a tilt-positioned jack on the side of the guitar rather than on the face like a typical S series guitar. The custom neck has a rounder profile than the traditional Ibanez Wizard profile with 24 frets, the last six of which are scalloped.
Components include DiMarzio pickups with a pair of humbuckers with coil-split functionality flanking a single-coil, an Edge double locking tremolo bridge and Gotoh tuning machines.
The KIKO200 replaced the KIKO100 which was the original flagship model in the Kiko Loureiro series.
The KIKO200 was discontinued after 2020.
