By design, the Ibanez KIKO 100 series takes the basic form of the Ibanez S Series guitar, with a few modifications. At frets, 19-24 this series uses a scalloped fretboard to make it easier to vibrato or bend at high frets. And also a change in the position of the jack which was moved slightly backward (as in the Steve Vai signature series).
For this series, Kiko uses alder wood w/maple top on the body and maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard. This guitar uses a Dimarzio pickup which is also a signature series from the guitarist himself.
In sound, the character of the sound produced by Ibanez Kiko 100r can be said to be balanced. Referring to the many genres played by Kiko himself; ranging from metal to Brazilian music.
