It's a 1964 guitar made in Italy by Eko,figured maple top,flamed neck,rosewood fingerboard with short scale,binding on top ,back and neck.
Two tones ,two volume and a two selector(on/off) for the two special single coil pickup.A really simple and unique bridge complete this monster.Really cool!!!!The body is in trasparent red double cutaway like a Gibson Sg but really better!!!!It seems the devil's guitar!!!

I play true energy rock'n'roll in vein of Turbonegro,Nashville pussy,Gluecifer....and this guitar it ROCKS.I use the two pickup on with both tone at zero with a Mesa Boogie single rectifier Head 50,Marshall 4*12 1960 Lead cabinet,'80 Dunlop FuzzFace mod and a USA Big Muff and it sounds incredible!The clean sound it's really closed like a bass with an old Fender Bassman but with the Fuzzface the sounds became very bright with fantasic high end and cool bass end.It sound like no others guitars I've ever heard before.
The unique bad note is the sustain(so short..)but at high volume I use a bigmuff and the guitars reply well with no hum or bad sounds.
My set up is:Mesa with gain at 3/4,FuzzFace with gain at 3/4 and a Big Muff with vol.1/2,tone 1/2 and gain at 0(only for the solo).

The neck is very good, better that my Gibson Dc Standard but the frets was sharp and I have round it.
