This Kiko Loureiro signature is a seriously fun guitar for players who dig a modern, aggressive tone. The roasted maple neck makes it a joy to play, and the Infinity pickups scream without getting muddy. It’s a great option for metalheads and shredders looking for a high-performance instrument without the premium price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions
Roasted maple is kiln-dried at high temperatures, removing moisture and increasing density, resulting in a brighter, more resonant tone with improved sustain.
The double-locking tremolo is relatively easy to use and tune, but understanding its mechanics and proper string changes will enhance its performance and prevent tuning issues.
The Infinity pickups are a step above many budget-friendly alternatives, offering a hotter, more defined signal and a wider range of usable tones than many similarly priced guitars.
