I've been willing to show an Eko Short Gun guitar for a while, this is a good opportunity.
The Eko Short Gun (aka Fuciletto - I like Italian nicknames for guitars - did you know that in Italy the SG is called Diavoletto - little devil?) is a very interesting small guitar, designed to look like the stock of a handgun, compensating the cold minimalism of the Steinberger L models with a sensual curved wooden body...
This M33 is the one pickup model - the M35 having two pickups. The Eko Short Gun is supposed to have had much visibility when used by The Knack on their hit My Sharona, that is of little interest but if you enjoy as much as I do how Frank Zappa inserted a few bars of My Sharona in his 1988 version of Ravel's Bolero, as you can hear here:

Hello,
ReplyDeleteCan you please give me an idea of how much one of these EKO M33 could be worth?
I've recently become the new owner of one (pretty good condition for age, with normal ware) but am thinking of letting it go.
Thanks,
Carlos
