EKO - VL480 Aged Gold Sparkle

The humbuckers of the Eko VL480 electric guitar respond powerfully to playing demands.

Compared to other similar models, the sustain stands out for its length. The basswood body and the Tune-o-Matic bridge contribute greatly to this.

The natural reverb remains clear, without excess, even on long notes.

During a long set, the Diecast tuners ensure stable tuning. Adjustments remain rare, even with a frequently moved capo. This reduces interruptions during performances.

Connected to an amp, this model from the Tribute Starter series shows great acoustic versatility.

In clean mode, the tones are clear. They are ideal for arpeggios. With a slight saturation, it retains its definition, while adding a nice aggressiveness.

The two microphones provide a balance that is satisfactory, whether for rhythms or solos.

The maple neck, with a C profile, promotes a quick grip.

The touch remains pleasant for hours of playing. This is due to the South American Roupanà fingerboard. It provides a smooth glide that is perfect for lively passages.

On stage, the Aged Gold Sparkle color attracts the eye. The chrome hardware completes this neat set.

This aesthetic does not sacrifice anything to functionality. Everything is ensured by a robust manufacturing.

Compared to other models in the same range, this reference stands out for its acoustic qualities and its general stability.

For extended chords or expressive solos, a coherent response will always be there.
