Hi, this guitar is so good-looking..I'm an italian kid and i can say that i've never found nothing cheaper before..i pay only 190 eur!!
So..for the features look the other submits..there is only one model of this guitar..
I only can say that woods are not the best, especially for the body..
(open the back panel and look...)
Sound

It's sound like a no-usa fender..what i'm saying? yes,it has powerful bass and clear high on clean sound..like a fender!close your eyes, forget that is an Eko..well, now it's a fender..
Not to much level on dist sound..but very crunchy!
However, the pickups are too noisy..I also ahve an Ibanez jem 555 and i feel the difference..so, we can identify this guitar sound as mexico fender sound..my advice is to buy at least one original fendr pickup,or better an hs-3, hs-2 or yjm dimarzio if you are(like me)an Yngwee fan..
Action, Fit, & Finish

mmmmm...the setup was not good..too much action on strings..the neck needs some finishings..bridge is normal but the worst thing is the fu%&$ nut!change it!and the tone pots? there is a tone control?the answer is.. no!volume pot is too fluent..
the rest is very good..
