EKO - ST 350 Black

The Eko ST 350 Black 6-string electric guitar hits just the right spot. The humbucker in the bridge throws out the grain without forcing it. For pure hard rock, it roars dryly. A clean boost? Why not, but this pickup knows how to stand on its own.

The transition between the singles and the double keeps the relief. The split gives a lively, never flat sound. Each position has its own colour, with no annoying drop in level.

The Stratoid handles the dives well. Rigour and well-dosed tension: it holds. The vibrato reacts without flinching, even when abused.

With its 14" radius, the bends rise without flirting with the frieze. The attack remains clean and clear. For open chords? A little drier, but never stiff.

The small frets sharpen the playing. The legato remains precise, without drooling. Every note comes out cleanly, without straining.

The 42 mm nut combined with the Low C neck works. You can breathe in tight chords. No strings that choke under your fingers!

The vintage plate doesn't get in the way. When playing percussively, the hand finds its place. The whole thing exudes good taste and solidity.

The look is smart, the playability is straightforward: simple, effective and inspiring.
