EKO VL480 Gold Top Electric Guitar

General

The iconic style of this single-cut electric guitar comes loaded with the thick, rock-focussed sound of a pair of humbuckers. The EKO VL480 is an affordable riff machine with a solid basswood body mounted with two passive pickups and a set of two tone control pots, two volume pots, and a 3-way switch for flipping and dialing in a broad range of rich and powerful sounds. While the tone packs all of the necessary force, it's the smaller details like the body-binding, pickguard and position markers that add those all-important, magic finishing touches.

The EKO VL480: High-End Playability

For a more snug feel, this EKO model has been given a slightly shorter-than-average 24.75-inch scale length, bringing the distance between the bridge and nut down to around 62.9cm and lowering the string tension so that chords and notes can be grabbed with a lighter touch. The deep cutaway ensures comfortable and easy access to the highest of the 22 frets, while the set-neck construction ensures optimum vibrational transfer and a stable Tune-O-Matic bridge supports steady tuning and enhances the sustain.
