Eko , a real blast from the past is back, with mega improved quality construction. Guitars are manufactured in Chek Republic, Italy and China. Artists like Tom Petty and Elliot Easton have already ordered their EKO. Now it's your turn. Free freight in the cont. U.S. If this guitar looks familiar, here's a bit of history about this guitar, vintage Vox Phantom's were manufactured by Eko in Italy, and Eko retained all rights to the guitar, except for the headstock and obvious improvements, these are just about the same animal, except this "original" has a much lower price than it's Vox counterpart, also available in a bass after the announcement at 2010 NAMM. This is my personal favorite.
