Scalloped Fingerboard
The scalloped fingerboard on the 19th-24th frets is KIKO’s own touch, for easier high note bending and tapping.

Deeper Cut Horn
KIKO’s unique scoop cutaway at the back of the body allows even easier access to high frets from any angles.

Tilt-in Jack
Tilt-positioned output jack on KIKO100 holds guitar cables securely.

Edge Tremolo
The legendary, original Edge tremolo bridge.

DiMarzio® KIKO original Pickups
Kiko plays a wide range of music, from metal to jazz fusion, and the pickups were designed to reflect this range of sound. The neck and bridge pickups both humbuckers have medium output and a balanced sound in terms of frequency response. The single-coil middle pickup is more powerful and warmer-sounding than a typical vintage single-coil, in order to balance well with the neck and bridge pickups.

Gotoh® Machineheads
Gotoh machineheads provide super precision, an ultra smooth feel, and minimal back lush.

Coil-tap
Coil-tap switch on volume control (Neck and Bridge pus)
