DiMarzio KIKO original pickups

Kiko plays a wide range of music, from metal to jazz fusion, and the pickups were designed to reflect this range of sound. The neck and bridge humbuckers have medium output and a 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.

Coil-tap switch

The coil tap switch adds sound and tonal variations for both pickups.

Luminlay side dots

The Luminlay side dot position marks make it easy for players to see fretboard position marks when performing on dark stages.
