Eko ST 300 Sunburst

A Type S Inspired by the 1950s, Designed for Learning

The ST300 embraces the aesthetic and ergonomic codes that have shaped the history of the electric guitar since the 1950s: a Type S double cutaway silhouette for easy access to the upper frets, a three single-coil pickup configuration, and a classic vibrato bridge. Eko offers this timeless formula in an accessible, attractive, and user-friendly guitar to provide a convincing first experience for guitarists seeking a versatile instrument with a retro look.

Who Is It For, and Which Styles?

The Eko ST300 is primarily aimed at beginners and returning players looking for an electric guitar that is easy to set up, comfortable to play, and versatile enough to progress with. Its single-coil pickup configuration is especially suited for clean tones, light crunch, and precise rhythm playing, while still capable of delivering more biting attacks with heavier distortion. Pop, rock, funk, blues, indie: it's a solid foundation for exploring multiple genres without changing instruments.

The Sound

With its poplar body, the ST300 offers a well-balanced tone appreciated for learning: a fairly neutral response, dynamic and easy to amplify, highlighted by a glossy finish. The maple neck provides clarity and attack, while the laurel fingerboard slightly rounds off the high end for a softer feel under the fingers. On the electronics side, the 3 single-coil pickups deliver precise and articulate sounds, very comfortable in clean settings. The 5-position selector allows switching between dedicated pickup positions and more "scooped" and velvety intermediate positions, ideal for rhythm and arpeggios. The 1 volume and 2 tone controls complete a simple, effective, and educational palette.
