A big thanks for Ibanez and Kiko from the bottom of my heart. My 10 yo son will be able to play on a signature instrument of his idol because I can afford this one. Thanks so much :)
I remember when my parents bought me my first guitar. Not only is this guitar affordable, he gets a great instrument that he can play until he becomes as good as his idol. Happy for you guys and hope he continues to play it and have a lot of fun learning. ❤
This is one of those guitars that is perfect to buy and then upgrade here and there a long the way when you get more money. Maybe one month you buy a new bridge pickup, the next month a neck pickup. I love buying guitars around this pricerange and then upgrading them. The Ibanez JEMJR is another fine example of a guitar worth buying and upgrading to get a really awesome guitar for the money spent.
Don't let the price fool you; it's a spectacular guitar! Neck is perfect - very fast, but not too thin. Frets are great. Tone is amazing - so many options for pickup selection. Action was very easy to adjust and set my preferences. It looks amazing - perfect balance of colors. I'm so glad I got one of these! I got mine from Sweet Water this week and I haven't put it down since. Again, don't let the price fool you; if Ibanez puts their name on something, it's good.
Yo lo compré y suena de maravilla, aunque me la vendieron en Thomann totalmente desajustada y tuve que ir a un luthier, después perfecta, gracias por sacar un modelo asequible, saludos 👋
This looks awesome and sounds awesome! Any chance of the Kiko SP200 coming back with that translucent Brazilian rainforest inspired paint job coming back or an inexpensive version of that color? That guitar just looks amazing! KIKO200GMT Kiko Loureiro Prestige (Green Mist Burst) If that model came back or an inexpensive version with that paint job, I'd be over the moon!
Evrything superb but why on12th fret it hasn't Kiko logo [sp2 had] it is small thing but really attract customer to buy. Second thing is jack input it is not cut like more expensive kiko's models. I know they tried save money but realy how much this two things will increase the price?
Que Pastillas mota esto suena muí bien.suena como si llebara unas d'imargo e mirado este modelo y las pastillas son cecillitas ¿leba Pastillas de marca o suena asi ?
As a left-handed who doesn't want to learn to play right-handed, I wish this could have a left-handed version even though my wallet will probably be extinguished.
If you dont already play just learn righty, makes no difference when your starting your pick hand will feel a little more awkward to start, your fret hand will be a little advanced it will all quickly even out in a few months. Learning left handed is a foolish mistake that you will pay dearly for in the future.
@@elevenAD Thanks for the suggestion. I played guitar on and off for fun and haven't played it for quite some time. Learning right-handed is just not for me, and playing left-handed would not be a mistake considering that Tony Iommi a left-handed guitar with missing two fingertips on the right hand created the heavy metal genre.
I don't know why Kiko has chosen such boring design to his series with Ibanez. Don't get me wrong, they look good! But his old signatures with Tagima and ESP were absolutely awesome looking.
Or maybe it's the other way around. Kiko was assigned to these series, the S and RGA. He hasn't reached Gilbert/Vai/Satch tier where they can ask for specific shape, or even design new one (Ibanez Fireman, PIA, 24 fret H-S PUs with sustainer, etc...)
It’s very low-priced compared to other signature guitars (personally I don’t need an over 500€ guitar so this is great) Being a fan I would definitely buy it if I hadn’t bought an electric guitar already (having more than one would be superfluous in my case)
Your reaction to this guitar is lackluster at best, it's like you're struggling to say something nice about it not to mention "entry level guitar " is probably all you need to say.
He's not going to tell you that this cheap guitar feels like the more expensive models. They most likely feel very similar, but for sure you're paying for brand name and a bit higher quality. This cheapo Kiko sig only has one problem, easily correctable by throwing money at the problem, it's the Ibanez double locking trem (they can't even give it a proper name, ffs). Swap that crap out for a Gotoh GE1996T or a Schaller trem and you're golden. The Jem Jr. suffers the same issue...
@@JohnWiku I know he's not coming straight out and saying it's cheap that's why you have to read his expression when playing and talking about it. I want a Kiko model but not the entry level one. I guess Ibanez realized most Megadeth fans can't afford the $3500 guitars so that's why there's this guitar, now if Gibson would get on board with that thinking.
@@srh361 personally I like this cheap model better than the more expensive ones 🤣🤣 I think it's the best looking Ibanez S style that Ibanez has put out in recent years, only if they had given it an edge zero 2...
Maybe that was on purpose. Ibanez gives Kiko the good ones and in return, he helps them advertise the not so good ones. Why? Business. Their goal is to sell guitars. Cheap, fancy, mid-range...You can't advertise only the ones that cost as much a car.

For a world with more green guitars, my vote goes to Kiko.
I'll keep my Ibanez RG550 until the day I die. Great guitars. I've had the S540, RG550, RG350dx and many others.
I've sold mine a few years ago :D
When the light catches the rainforest green finish, wow does that pop and look great!! Sounds great too, of course!
Ordered mine two weeks ago. Can’t wait to get it !
Amazing guitar 🤘
Amazing guitarist

Holy moly what a beautiful guitar. Gotta get me one of these.
I got one earlier today at a mom and pop shop, it is a really good guitar
Oh that emerald green burst 😍 gotta get this one
A guitarra mais bonita do Kiko!!
É linda mesmo, tá doido
All kids and worker class shredder in the world are happy
There is no such thing as a working class shredder. We are just bad guitarists XD
Grande Kiko! 🤘❣️
Looks great. Gotoh tuners. 15.7 radius neck. Shredder friendly. Price point is nice.
It's great I have it, stay in tune pretty well
@@luissantiago7772 I just bought one like 30 minutes ago- are you still digging it? I ordered online, so it will take a few days before I get it.
Awesome Dude
From Rock Star Hero to RUclips presenter. Nice.
I always wished to own one of Kiko’s guitar, own some of his guitar picks but guitar would be much cool.
Kiko is so good!
Kiko is so God!
Made by indonesia..cheap but if upgrade the pickup..will be the best quality tone...
It's true but eventhough still has a great sustain in sound not that bad
I have one. Like it. One thing I wonder is why it has medium frets instead of jumbo. Seems like a strange choice.
Evrything superb but why on12th fret it hasn't Kiko logo [sp2 had] it is small thing but really attract customer to buy. Second thing is jack input it is not cut like more expensive kiko's models. I know they tried save money but realy how much this two things will increase the price?

Just ordered mine ten mins ago!
I missed out on the prior entry level Kiko signature guitars... perhaps I can get this one. I also dont have a green guitar yet.
Melhor do mundo Kiko Loureiro
Easily smoked by many
@@NIZZ_RAT you wish.
@@JohnWiku facts poof
Kiko ❤️
Linda guitarra!
Lo es la tengo tiene buen sustain y sostiene su afinacion
I liked his signature Tajima.
Cool
👏👏👏👏👏top

Check out the left handed version of Nita Strauss' Jiva...awesome guitar!

@@cyangtw learning to play left handed is always a mistake 100% of the time.
eu tenho uma guitarra de 600 conto que tem o burst mais bem feito que o dessa guitarra, esperava mais de uma ibanez
It ain't that bad I have this one good sustain it stays in tune pretty well
disappointed it doesnt have scalloped frets on the bottom
Not a salesman
Kiko200 when? holding my money...

@@iganpparamarta8813 yeah, true.
The square guitar
Why are the tops never 1 piece, the book matched flame maple always looks so janky and half assed.
It's ok to make cheap instrument for a different public, but you CAN (and should) make it beautiful. The black burst is just too much, come on!
its cool to have yourr own sig but like this doesnt look special. it just looks like a green RG.
Fretboard should be ebony....
You're not getting anything remotely close to ebony in a guitar this cheap, get a grip on reality.
Solamente el diapasón de ebano podría costar lo mismo que esta guitarra 😅
"Great entry level guitar." 🤣😂
bro what do you mean its litteraly 480 Euro its cheap
@@SwitchMusicS7U in some countries like mine it's not that cheap for us cheap entry lvl is Yamaha Pacyfica or HB
It’s very low-priced compared to other signature guitars (personally I don’t need an over 500€ guitar so this is great)
Being a fan I would definitely buy it if I hadn’t bought an electric guitar already (having more than one would be superfluous in my case)
@@SwitchMusicS7U It’s not just about the price, which is steep for some people! It has a locking tremolo. That's hard for a new guitarist.
@@TheNothing6 dude... You get to llearn on a quality ibanez made FR for less than 500 this is insane.
Los otros modelos son mucho mejores, este se ve berreta

Middle pickup? Ibanez pickups? Some no name tremolo bridge, Made in china! No thank you
Urgh, anyone wants to buy a kidney?
Generic Ibanez shape, pickups and hardware (trem probably doesn't stay in tune).
How is it a signature model ? And the color is ugly 🤣🤣
Some good points, but it does stay in tune pretty good. Better than another guitar I have with a Floyd 1000 in it.
I have it Just bought it and it stays in tune pretty good hit Hard the trémolo
Would love to try one 😊
Wow! They don't even give YOU a case! WTF?? 🤷♀️
It does not include a case.
