Very cool guitar. I love the old 2-tone Eko's. I remember getting one with a friend of mine in 1975. He played for a couple of years and then traded it for a Fender Strat. Boring!

I've never played or even heard one, but I've always wanted one of those. Really great looking guitars!

Thx guys.

Ive played an acoustic Eko only, never an electric. Im hoping the neck is thin, Hagstrom like. ;D

The trem is not original to the guitar but it looks good, i think.

HNB, that Tonemaster looks great. Can you feel the grooves on the vinyl? What's the texture like, on that thing?

Nice :w00t: !!!
I've got one to restore, they feel nice, especially the neck.

This trem looks Framusish...

It is reflective, but smooth. It is the same kind of wrap that is used on accordions. :) It was made (most likely) by Crucianelli.

I double checked, the trem is Klira made...Which is very very similar to Framus made ;) .
I have a Klira Triumphator and I swear, this trem is the best I ever played (at least the one on my Klira :D ), stay incredibly in tune, very smooth and yet ultra responsive.
Cool for you!!!
