Eko ST 100 Black

An ST with a "1950s spirit," revisited by Eko

The ST100 follows the great tradition of Type S electric guitars, a silhouette that has become a reference since the 1950s. Eko takes this classic recipe (double cutaway, three single-coil pickups, vibrato) to offer an accessible instrument with a familiar aesthetic and immediate versatility, designed to accompany the first years of playing.

For which guitarist, and for which styles?

Designed as an ideal electric guitar for beginners, the ST100 is also very suitable as a second "plug and play" guitar for leisure use. Its three single-coil configuration is comfortable in pop, rock, blues, funk, and all genres requiring defined clean sounds, dynamic crunches, and more scooped intermediate positions.

The sound

The poplar body provides a balanced response and a clear attack, while the maple neck adds clarity and "snap" in the upper spectrum. The laurel fingerboard slightly rounds off the whole for a pleasant feel. On the electronics side, the 3 standard Eko single-coil pickups deliver precise and responsive tones: individual positions for sharp and present attacks, and positions 2 and 4 (via the 5-position selector switch) for smoother, scooped sounds, perfect for rhythm playing. The vibrato allows subtle effects, and the adjustable saddles facilitate fine tuning of the instrument.
