Eko Aire 800 Musa Red Flamed

Musa: Eko Guitars' Modern Flagship

At the top of Eko's electric range, the "Musa" series focuses on carefully selected woods, spectacular finishes, and reliable electronics. The Aire 800 Musa "Red Flamed" embraces the contemporary "super strat" vocabulary, designed for both stage and studio, with precise construction and a wide sonic palette.

Who Is It For and What Styles?

Thanks to its splittable HSS configuration and 24 frets, this Aire 800 suits intermediate to advanced players looking for a unique and versatile instrument. It excels in pop, funk, and energetic blues, easily covers classic/alternative rock, and ventures into hard rock or melodic metal, while delivering superb clean tones and tight rhythms.

The Sound

The solid alder body provides a natural balance with present mids, while the flamed maple top adds attack and definition. The roasted maple neck and fingerboard promote tuning stability and dynamic response. The YHL Mercury single coils deliver crisp cleans and airy crunches; the YHL Marsbucker humbucker at the bridge offers dense and precise drive. The split via the push-pull tone control opens finer textures, especially in intermediate positions, for articulate tones. The HRC57 tremolo with adjustable saddles ensures sustain and note stability without sacrificing intonation.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

Nickel plated 10-46 string set (factory setup), clip-on capo compatible with 12"-16" radius, wide non-slip strap, quality 6.35 mm jack cable, and a stable tripod stand. For reinforced transport, a ST/super strat hard case will ideally complement the included gigbag.
