The Kiko Loureiro Guitar is loaded with 3 DiMarzio KIKO Original Pickups at the bridge, neck and middle. The bridge and neck pickups are Humbuckers, which produce a full, open sound with excellent gain, with sweet warmth at the neck and a fat, 'thundering' sound at the bridge. The middle pickup is Single Coil, and offers a defined and clear tone with plenty of attack, ideal for heavy styles.
The 5-piece neck is strong, sturdy and can cope with excellent amounts of fast and aggressive shredding. The combination of maple and wenge provides clear and bright tones, with warm lows as well as a resonant and responsive sound. The neck is paired with a macassar ebony fingerboard, which provides bright and crisp attack, with long sustain.
Mahogany as a body tonewood delivers a warm and rich tone with excellent depth. It also offers durability and a tone which will mature over the years, making this guitar a long lasting investment. Coupled with a quilt maple top gives it a stunning and eyecatching appearance. The maple can also extend the tonal range of the mahogany making it the ultimate pairing. A mahogany body is the popular wood of choice for punchy rock music and heavy metal styles; making it ideal for this Signature Kiko Loureiro guitar.
