Kiko Louriero has two new sigs from Ibanez...

Looks like one's Japanese, one's Korean.

One is Premium, the other is Prestige.

Not sure I like the "thick-bodied S" design. But the Prestige version is a 24-fret S with an Edge trem and scalloped upper frets, which is kind of cool.

Still, his 27-fret scalloped ESPs were cooler.

The 100 is probably made in Japan with a Edge trem while the 10P is probably made in Indonesia with an Edge Zero II trem. I certainly know which one I'd choose.

Never seen that bodystyle before. Kind of looks like a mix of a S and an RGA or something.

Edit. Slow...

So much this.

Those are really nice, actually. Couple of cool touches. I like the bigger body, its reminiscent of a Mayones. They're probably $1700+ if available here, though...

kiko who?

eh.... the esp was win, this is... not so much win.

Angra is one of the biggest power metal bands going. Probably not your thing though...

Kiko rules. For someone who likes shred, you have some guitar player history lessons to catch up on. Start with Shawn Lane.

No fucking clue who this guy is, but the guitar looks pretty awesome.

I like some of the stuff they've done with this model. The horn contour and jack placement, for example.

That is kind of rad, but still not near as awesome looking as his ESP sig, to me. I'd be interested to find out why he made the switch.
