The line includes models at a wide range of price points which are built in Japan, Indonesia and China.
History[]
The first Kiko Loureiro model offered was the KIKO100. It is based on Loureiro's custom Ibanez which he plays on stage. It has an alder body with a flamed maple top and a pair of custom DiMarzio KIKO humbucking pickups flanking a custom single coil. The humbuckers can be coil-split to offer single coil type sounds. The bridge is an original Edge double locking tremolo. The KIKO100 was produced in Japan to Prestige-level standards until being discontinued after 2017. (more...)
