Eko was one of the bigest instrument manufacturer in Europe in the 1960's. Based in Italy and originaly manufacturer of Accordions, Eko started making Guitars at the end of the 1950's and grew to become one of the biggest European manufacturer, building guitars for brands like Vox, Welson, Goya... On top of being visually striking and highly original compared to its American counter part, Eko proposed a different feel and a different sound than most of the guitars and basses out there in the 60's. The result is instruments with looks and sounds you won't find anywhere else... probably one of the reason why collectors are nowadays very interested in the Ekos.
