Kiko Loureiro's playing style incorporates a diverse range of musical influences, so he requires a guitar that is well-rounded to accommodate all his musical aspirations. 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.
