EKO 500-4V c.a. 1962 Italian
$ 1,299.00
Thanks to the careful research of Jack Marchel (Fetishguitars.com) we know this is one of the first EKO 500’s imported into the US in early 1962. The guitar displays all the transitional features seen between EKO’s first electric model the 400 and their newly introduced 500. It has the same black pickups, eyebrow style logo and tailpiece as the 400. These transitional features were gone by mid 1962. But besides being a rare, early EKO collectible, this guitar is a great player. The push button switches offer a wide range of tones, the pickups produce strong output and the lacquered neck feels great. This guitar has the pearl finish front making it an eye-catching stage instrument since the pearl reflects whatever light hits it. The back and neck are finished in glossy black lacquer. The condition of this guitar is fantastic. It’s only flaws are that there is a stiff spot when turning the tone pot and there is a spot where the chrome is rubbed on the tailpiece. No chips, no cracks, no bumps, no problems with the body or neck. The original (and somewhat beat) two tone hard case is included.
