Eko Type Hollowbody Jazz single cut Sunburst

An archtop inspired by the great hollowbody guitars that shaped the “vintage” sound

The Eko Jazz draws on the aesthetic codes and spirit of the electric hollowbody guitars that have influenced generations of players since the late 1950s: carved top, violin-style “f” holes, single cutaway and glossy Sunburst finish. Within the Hollowbody range, it stands out as an accessible and authentic model, designed to offer the charm of classic archtops with modern, comfortable playability.

Which guitarists and styles is it designed for?

This Eko is equally suited to beginners looking for a true sonic identity and intermediate players seeking an expressive hollowbody for working on phrasing, extended chords and fingerstyle playing. It excels in jazz and blues, while also sounding highly convincing in soul, rockabilly and vintage rock, thanks in particular to its two humbuckers and independent controls.

The sound

The hollowbody construction highlights a smooth attack, plenty of air and a pronounced acoustic feel. Paulownia generally provides a fast, resonant response, while the carved maple top enhances definition and clarity, helping to preserve articulation in jazz chords. Through an amplifier, the two humbucker pickups deliver a warm, powerful tone, with softened highs and a flattering midrange. The 2 volume and 2 tone controls allow you to finely balance the neck and bridge pickups, move from a round “comping” sound to more biting attacks, and gain versatility without losing the vintage character.

Recommended compatible accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original playing feel, a 10–46 gauge electric string set is a safe choice and is compatible with this 6-string guitar. If you are looking for even more warmth for jazz, you can also opt for strings with a softer touch, depending on your playing preferences, while maintaining an equivalent gauge.
