The Ibanez KIKO100 6-String Electric Guitar Transparent Ruby Red from the Signature Series is designed to meet Brazilian metal guitarist Kiko Loureiro’s specific demands, including a scalloped fingerboard on the 19th-24th frets for easier high note bending and tapping, a deeper cut horn and Kiko's unique scoop cutaway at the back of the body that allows even easier access to high frets from any angle.
Other premium features include recessed control knobs, tilt-positioned output jack to hold guitar cables securely, Edge tremolo, Gotoh machine heads and DiMarzio KIKO original pickups. The neck and bridge pickups have medium output and are 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.

I bought the Kiko 10p about 1 month ago and I am very satisfied. I have other Ibanez models from Japan (including J custom) and this premium model has a very good sound, specs and craftsmanship.
The flamed maple top is AAA.
