Ibanez KIKO300RRT Signature Kiko Loureiro

A Signature Model Designed for the Modern Stage

The KIKO300RRT Signature is built around Kiko Loureiro's demands: precision, attack, and versatility, with a strong aesthetic (Poplar Burl top) and performance-oriented ergonomics. The combination of an alder body, roasted maple neck, and pro-grade equipment (stainless frets, Gotoh vibrato, dedicated pickup set) makes it a guitar tailored for demanding contexts, from live to studio.

Who Is It For, and Which Styles?

This electric guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking fast playability, solid intonation across 24 frets, and a tonal palette suited for modern styles. It excels in metal, rock, fusion, and prog, yet remains very comfortable whenever defined clean tones, tight rhythms, and singing leads with vibrato are required.

The Sound

The alder body provides a natural balance: present mids, clean lows, and clear highs, perfect for maintaining definition under gain. The Poplar Burl top mainly enhances the visual identity, while the Roasted Maple neck contributes to a sharp attack and excellent stability, useful for precise playing. On the electronics side, the HSH DiMarzio "KIKO original" setup offers true versatility: the ceramic humbuckers (neck/bridge) favor power, bite, and sustain in saturation, while the central alnico pickup delivers more open and articulate tones for clean passages and funky parts. The 24 jumbo stainless steel frets support bends, legato, and crisp attacks, with a consistent feel across the fingerboard.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve the original feel and tension, prefer a D'Addario EXL110 string set (gauge 10-46). A good quality 6.35 mm jack cable and plectrums suited to your picking style ideally complete the setup, without compatibility issues.
