The Sato Ikari was designed for players who perform with intensity — where every note must be precise, present and responsive.
“Ikari” represents emotional energy and strength, delivering a tone that is aggressive, articulate and highly defined, even under high gain.
With Ceramic 8 magnets and high output, it provides tight lows, balanced mids and clear highs, with excellent note separation.
It performs exceptionally well with high gain amps, modelers, IRs, FRFR systems and direct recording setups.
Each pickup is handcrafted in Brazil, combining traditional craftsmanship with materials engineering principles.
Developed in collaboration with Rafa Sato, it delivers modern performance with control and expression.
