Ibanez KIKOSP3-TEB Kiko Loureiro Signature, Trans Emerald Burst Overview
Megadeth guitarist’s signature axe, made to his specs.
Crafted in collaboration with Megadeth’s Kiko Loureiro, the KIKOSP3 electric guitar is the epitome of high-performance, designed to facilitate the exacting demands of advanced and aspiring guitarists alike. While it offers a more budget-friendly alternative to Loureiro’s primary signature model, make no mistake: the KIKOSP3 is a powerhouse instrument teeming with high-quality components like potent Infinity pickups, a secure double-locking tremolo system, and a Maple neck shaped to Loureiro’s own specifications.
Ergonomic Design
This guitar marries a poplar body with a Flamed Maple Art Grain top, encased in the sleek and ergonomic S Series shape. The combination promises both visual allure and tonal resonance, embodying the perfect blend of form and function.
Custom Neck Profile
The Maple neck, in tandem with a 25.5" scale length and a Jatoba fretboard adorned with off-set white dot inlays, grants the player unmatched playability. Its specialized custom profile makes lightning-fast runs and intricate chords second nature.
Powerful Pickups
The high-output Infinity pickups offer a dynamic range of tonal possibilities, from creamy neck tones to scorching bridge sounds. A 5-way pickup selector and special coil-splitting functionality further extend your tonal reach, ensuring that you have the right sound for every musical scenario.
Sleek Hardware
With its double-locking tremolo system and Cosmo Black hardware, the KIKOSP3 ensures tuning stability even under the most rigorous shredding conditions. The locking nut maintains your setup’s reliability, letting you dive-bomb and wail with total confidence.
