| Pricing | $1250 CAD without case. SOLD |
| Neck | Maple neck with bound rosewood fingerboard. |
| Frets | 21 frets plus zero fret. It looks like it might have been refretted because the binding is slotted for the fret tang, but other makers including Supro used this method.

| Comments | da Vinci, Ferrarri, Maserati, Eko…. Italy has long been known for innovative designs. And this Eko 700 v4 is a very cool and rare guitar. Eko electric guitars were not uncommon in the early and mid 1960’s, and as a bonus, didn’t always depend on American manufacturers for design cues. The wild pickguard and the red sparkle finish are worth the price of admission! The modified tuplip body is reminiscent of Rickenbacker 325 models, but the electronic layout is all Eko. |
