Eko ST 351 HSS Daphne Blue Maple fingerboard

The Essentials to Know About the Eko ST351 Guitar

• Immediate versatility thanks to the HSS configuration (1 bridge humbucker + 2 single coils) and the 5-position selector switch to go from crystal-clear tones to thicker sounds.


• "ST-style" playing comfort with a double cutaway for easy access to the upper frets, and a C low profile neck that feels comfortable to hold.


• Standard vibrato and Strat-style bridge with individual saddles to adjust action and intonation string by string.


• Bold vintage look: glossy finish, vintage aged-style pickguard, and a silhouette inspired by iconic models from the 1950s.

A Classic Revisited by Eko: Vintage Spirit for Beginners

With the ST351, Eko brings back a legendary silhouette popularized since the 1950s: an ST shape with double cutaways, designed for ergonomics and versatility. The goal is clear: to offer an accessible, well-finished, and inspiring electric guitar that makes you want to play right away, without compromising on fundamentals (comfort, setup, tonal palette).

Who Is It For? An Ideal Electric Guitar to Start (and Progress)

The Eko ST351 is primarily aimed at beginner guitarists who want to explore multiple styles with a single instrument: pop, rock, funk, blues, indie, and even heavier genres. The bridge humbucker adds body and sustain in overdrive, while the single coils retain the snappy and expressive ST tones for rhythm playing and arpeggios.

The Sound

The combination of a poplar body and maple neck/fretboard promotes a quick response, clear attack, and bright highs, very appreciated in clean tones. On the electronics side, the HSS configuration truly broadens the spectrum: the bridge humbucker delivers a thicker, rounder sound with better foundation for riffs and distortion, while the single coils at the neck and middle positions provide brightness, precision, and dynamics. The 5-position selector switch also allows for scooped and smooth intermediate positions, perfect for funky rhythms and pop textures.
