Eko TL 300 Butterscotch

A Singlecut Inspired by 1950s Classics

The TL300 follows the great tradition of solidbody singlecut guitars that appeared in the 1950s, becoming a benchmark for their simplicity, reliability, and sonic identity. Eko revives this iconic silhouette by making it accessible, with careful craftsmanship and deliberately straightforward electronics, offering a coherent entry-level guitar that's ready to play and easy to set up.

For Starting Electric Guitar with Genuine "Vintage" Sounds

This Eko is primarily aimed at beginner guitarists (and those looking for a simple and effective second guitar). Its two single-coil configuration is ideal for working on pick dynamics and volume knob nuances. It excels in styles where attack and clarity matter: country, blues, classic rock, pop, and funky rhythms, while still capable of handling more aggressive overdrive for biting leads.

The Sound

The poplar body provides a pleasant balance: a fairly neutral response with good dynamics, perfect for letting the pickups shine. The maple neck enhances attack and precision, while the laurel fingerboard offers a softer feel under the fingers and can slightly round off the very snappy character of maple. On the electronics side, the 2 single-coil pickups deliver clear, articulate, and characterful tones, and the 3-position selector allows easy access to different registers: sharper bridge, rounder neck, and a more balanced middle position for rhythm playing.
