There is a mix of many different musical influences in Kiko Loureiro's playing style, so he needs a guitar to be well-rounded in order to cover everything he wants to do with the guitar. He and Ibanez worked for a long time, going over many different neck shapes and body shapes before deciding on what works best for him, and nailed it with the KIKO models.
Maple Neck:
The Maple neck provides stability and bright tonal character.
Jatoba Fretboard:
Jatoba has a reddish brown color and produces a rich mid range with a crisp high end.
