The KIKOSP3 is a solid body electric guitar introduced by Ibanez for 2023. It is a Signature guitar of Brazilian guitarist Kiko Loureiro of the metal bands Angra and Megadeth. The KIKOSP3 is produced in China.

The KIKOSP3 is a reboot of the previous mass-market Loureiro signature guitars, the KIKOSP and KIKOSP2, the last of which was discontinued after 2019. It is based on the SA series and has a special relief on the lower horn in the rear.

The KIKOSP3 features an art grain simulated flamed maple top on a poplar body bolted to a maple neck with a 24-fret jatoba fretboard with offset white dot position markers. Components include Ibanez Infinity R pickups with a pair of humbuckers flanking a single-coil with a push-pull control on the volume to split the coils of the humbuckers, a double locking tremolo bridge with a locking nut, Ibanez die-cast tuning machines, and a side-mounted output.
