The "Lignum" Series: Wood at the Heart of Creation
With "Lignum," Eko highlights wood in its most organic form: visible grain, natural tint, tactile sensations. The Aire 601 Lignum Natural embodies this approach by combining a solid alder body with a torrefied maple neck/fingerboard, resulting in a guitar with an authentic look and contemporary performance.
Who Is It For and Which Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a modern Super-Strat, it is also suitable for motivated beginners. Its HSS configuration and 24 frets easily cover pop, rock, indie, funk, blues, and fusion, with enough power for hard rock thanks to the bridge humbucker.
Sound Characteristics
The solid alder offers a well-balanced midrange/attack with clear projection. The torrefied maple adds clarity, quick response, and tuning stability. The Eko "Rockbucker" single coils deliver precise cleans and punchy crunches, while the bridge humbucker provides bite and, when split, more airy tones. The 5-way selector covers classic "scooped" in-between pickup positions up to full and powerful sounds, ensuring versatility for stage and studio.
Recommended Compatible Accessories

The guitar is delivered with a padded waterproof gigbag: ideal for daily transport.
