Kiko Loureiro Signature Guitar

Holy Light · Post by **Holy Light** » Thu Jun 09, 2005 1:47 am

Anyone see Kiko's new signature guitar on the ESP Japan Website. It's pretty sweet. Very Costly! I think around 7000 Yen List Price. I still wonder why they never made Timo's officially available to buy. Same for Michael Romeo.

Timo once said you could order his signature guitars from ESP Japan, the same goes for MJR I think. Anyway, you must forget a zero or tho, 7000 yen is about 60 euros

the one for timo and mike are not signture models.
They're custom model.
If you want a Tolkki modeled guitar you have to phone to ESP in japan and order a guitar with the same things that Tolkki have.
So it's not something official,it's just,ordering something that is equal to...
And it'll cost VEEEEEERY much

Didnt know that he had an ESP with her signature. looks cool...but i guess that he only use in japan isnt it? or worldwide?

Here in brazil he uses a Tagima kiko signature, have you ever saw it? its a copy of his pink guitar, that was the first and he used a black one after the angels cry tour and now this model was released and have the colours are black and silver. Its a good guitar too, but its very expensive. around 3.000 reais...or more less 1.000/900 dollars, you should check out! i think that are the same seymour ducan pickups

I thought Timo has now changed models of ESP. He uses standard models now (with no scalloped fretboard) only with custom paint jobs...

I think so, anyway.

i actually own Kiko's Tagima guitar, i think its better than the ESP one. The ESP costs so much because its an "unofficial" release. ESP guys just went to the Tagima factory one day and took pictures of kiko's guitar, a while later, they created the model. I bet they did the same thing with Alexi Laiho's Rhandy Rhoads! no wonder ESP is always under attack with lawsuits haha

Kiko's guitar is the nicest axe I've seen in awhile. It's got 27 frets and the frets 12-27 are scalloped!!!! DAMN, I WANT IT!

You got the silver one?

He was used to play with an black model...the headstock was different, but i still prefer his pink model that was used in the Angels Cry tour.

Also...i didnt liked so much of the ESP model...seems cool but the George Lynch model looks better.
