Guitars[edit]

Their products include classical guitars, 12-string guitars, arch top guitars, electric guitars and acoustic bass guitars.

Eko guitars gained high popularity during the rock'n'roll craze of the 1960s, becoming the largest guitar exporter in Europe. Their electric models were often highly ornamented with pearl, featured 3 or 4 pickups and recognizable 'rocker' switches for pickup selection. The acoustic models were popular in country and folk rock bands of the late '60s. The best-known models of the '60s include:

• Eko 400 Ekomaster (Fender Jaguar shape with flat-top, Hagström-style control panel),
• Eko 500 (Fender Jaguar lookalike),
• Eko 700 (original triple-cutaway design with 'hockey stick' head),
• Eko 290 (also known as Eko Barracuda, semi-hollow flat-top electric),
• Eko Rokes (rocket-shaped electric, made popular by an Italian pop band of the same name, The Rokes)
• Eko Kadett ('67 original double cutaway with characteristic long 'horns') and
• Eko Ranger (the best-selling Eko product, acoustic in 6 and 12-string version).
• Eko 995 (violin bodied 4 string bass wildly popular in the late 60's)

Eko also produced guitars for Vox in the '60s, in the USA they were distributed through LoDuca brothers of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
