EKO presents the V-Nos Aire and Tero electric guitars!
EKO presents the new V-NOS line of electric guitars, the latest addition to its Original series. The Aire and Tero models in this new range of vintage-looking guitars are available in four iconic colours: Black, Sunburst, Daphne Blue and Olympic White.
These timeless electric guitars have marked every generation of guitarists since the 1950s. However, the famous Italian brand has revisited this legendary model in its own way, combining modernity and a retro look, with a 'Vintage New Old Stock' finish at a very affordable price.
The Aire and Tero have been crafted with the utmost care to offer beginners and experienced guitarists alike an attractive, well-finished guitar.
The body is made from Paulownia for strength, lightness and resonance. The sturdy, comfortable 4-point screw-down American maple neck is topped by an Eko resin WPC (Wood Polymers Composites) fingerboard with 24 frets for the Aire and 21 frets for the Tero, providing softness and comfort for your highest-pitched solos.
EKO AIRE V-NOS
The timeless silhouette that inspired the design of the Aire VNOS needs no introduction: the characteristic double cutaway for excellent access to the last compartments, combined with 3 pickups in a versatile HSS configuration, as well as a reliable and well-known Wilkinson bridge/vibrato block.
As for the electronics, the Aire VNOS is equipped with 2 single-coil pickups and a vintage Eko humbucker. This double-coil humbucker in bridge position can be split into a single pickup thanks to a second tone knob incorporating a push-push function. The 5-position selector widens the range of tones offered by the instrument, with three positions (bass, centre and treble) associated with each of the three pickups, offering clean, powerful sounds, and two intermediate positions wired in parallel for deeper, velvety tones. The Wilkinson vibrato block incorporates independently adjustable bridges to fine-tune the action and harmonics of each string, and a classic vibrato to add a little character to your playing!
