For sale we have a vintage, ultra rare late 1960's EKO Model 395 6 string violin guitar. This vintage instrument was made in Italy sometime between 1966 and 1968. This company made many 4 string bass versions called the EKO Model 995 but made much fewer 6 and 12 string guitar models. This is a really unique guitar and very cool vintage collectible!
This guitar is in very good condition for a 50+ year old instrument. It plays really well and has had a recent fret leveling/crowning and new strings put on. The electronics work well. The pots are slightly scratchy but not bad. The finish is in really nice shape with only light hazing and a few little dings where the vibrato arm swings. The fret board binding has shrunk some over time. There are some scratches on the top of the head stock where someone leaned the guitar on a wall or something similiar. Overall, its really nice for the age. Everything is original and present. One issue we'd like to point out is a hairline crack in the 5 piece laminated neck along one of the rosewood strips. The crack is into the wood but very stable and doesn't effect the playability or functionality of the guitar.
