A KIKO Signature Designed for the Stage, in an Accessible Version
Developed with Kiko Loureiro, the KIKOSP3 carries the DNA of performance-oriented signature models: modern ergonomics, comfortable access to the upper frets thanks to 24 frets, and electronics designed to switch seamlessly between heavy rhythm and more open passages without changing guitars. It serves as a coherent entry point into the KIKO universe, with flamed aesthetics and versatile wiring, while remaining straightforward and effective for live use.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
The Ibanez KIKOSP3 targets intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a fast and precise instrument suited for modern techniques (legato, tapping, palm-muting, tremolo vibrato). Its H-S-H configuration and coil tap make it comfortable in metal, hard rock, shred, and prog, while still credible in pop/rock or funk when brighter, more open sounds are desired.
Sound Characteristics
The ceramic humbuckers Infinity R prioritize a tight and well-defined output, with clear attacks and a response suited for high-gain saturation: palm mutes remain articulate and solos stand out easily in the mix. The single-coil Infinity RS in the middle adds bite and mids for more percussive rhythms and crunch tones. The push/pull volume activates the "Special Wiring" coil tap, useful for brightening the spectrum, achieving more "hollowed" intermediate positions, and expanding the palette without losing the instrument's modern identity. The poplar body provides overall balance, while the combination of maple neck and Jatoba fingerboard enhances clarity and definition, with sustain supported by the Double Locking tremolo.

Received extremely poorly adjusted. 3 string lock nut screws not even tightened. Ridiculously too high action. While it is obvious that there are problems and that an instrument should not be shipped in this condition, especially since it can be intended for a beginner who will not be able to make the necessary adjustments himself. Is Algam your distributor?
Luckily, I've been playing guitar for a little over 40 years so a few settings don't scare me and once set correctly, it's a good guitar.
Get more serious with quality control.
If not, why so long before I can leave a review?Automatically translated
