Eko Aire 801 Musa Grey Flamed

Musa by Eko: The "Haute Couture" Line Designed for the Stage

With the Musa series, Eko Guitars revisits the super-Strat DNA by focusing on meticulous finishes, ergonomic design, and refined electronics. The flagship model of the range, the Aire 801 combines long-lasting comfort and a "Grey Flamed" look for an instrument as inspiring visually as it is to play.

Who Is It For and What Styles?

Ideal for intermediate to advanced guitarists, the Aire 801 Musa excels in pop, funk, modern rock, fusion, and blues. The bridge humbucker opens the door to hard rock, while the split and intermediate positions deliver punchy cleans and smooth crunches, perfect for playing an entire set with just one guitar.

Sound

The alder/maple combination provides tight lows, present mids, and bright highs that cut through the mix. The YHL Marsbucker H135B-B bridge pickup offers a dense and precise tone; when engaged via push-pull, it approaches the bite of a single coil. The YHL Mercury S60B-N/M pickups in the neck and middle positions deliver open and articulate timbres. The 5-way selector covers classic combinations; the intermediate positions wired in parallel provide that much sought-after musical "scooped" sound. The EKO Steel HRC57 vibrato and locking tuners extend sustain and secure tuning even during energetic playing.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

A padded waterproof gigbag is included for your travels. For maintenance and stage use: nickel strings 10-46 (original gauge), sturdy strap, stable A-frame or floor stand, and clip-on tuner. Essentials perfectly suited to the super-Strat format of this electric guitar.
