Description from Eko:
“The EVO(lution) series carries the “genetic” code of the MIA series, which have become Eko’s most successful guitars in recent years. The MIA series changed the perception of EKO from being mainly a “first guitar” to becoming the Ultimate guitar in the hands of great artists and professionals. EVO series takes a step further by focusing on the close relationship between musician and instrument, with Open Pore finish, so to leave intact the contact and feeling with the wood. Reduced body thickness makes the instrument with a great sound, a perfect, comfortable “fit” when played. The use of 3 different stages of maturation of the wood and open pore finish, make these instruments extremely lightweight and resonant, the sound is warm, and the depth of cedar is made more present by the mahogany back and sides. The width of the nut has been increased to 45 mm, to better support fingerstyle lovers used to fingerboards of renowned and historical brands. The length of the scale is by choice different between the various models.”
