I’ve been aquainted with this guitat since 1965. I have (and cherish) a1957 Fender Duo-Sonic, that was “willed” to me by a very dear friend who passed on a few years ago. And, while certain guitar purists regard them as B-grade vintage instruments, they remain some of the most unique-sounding electric instruments on. In the 60s, the Eko factory produced many of Vox’s most iconic guitarsthe Phantom and Mark VI Teardrop includedunder license. Italy’s Eko Guitars, always had a close relationship with Vox.
I had started the refinish project before Charles. Never stripped! Just sanded and a new color applied. This guitar had been re-painted five times previously. I replicated the pickguard in carbon fiber. I refinished the guitar by veneering the top in oak and a sunburst finish was added. I’m a short fella, as are my extremities.
An outstanding job! Shoot, ol Wilson Picket hisself played this guitar back in 66 or67. I had it refretted by Tom Dodson. I just wish he could have seen the finished guitar.
Gorgeous finish, and quite an unusual, distinctive shape to the guitar. 30 (East Mesa east valley ) pic hide this posting restore restore this posting.An Eko GG3.

I am trying to identify a Guyatone that I got at a swap meet in the S.F. I have had many guitars over the last 47 years. Shouty and aggressive humbuckers, and a more. The pickups (H-S-H) are great for the kind of music this thing seems designed to make. All in all rather a nice specimen. Nice inlay to the headstock, and binding around the body.
It has a very unique fat warm sound. It is in great condition except for dirty rocker switches. The back of the headstock had a small metal Made in Japan tag held on with tiny nails. It has the Guyatone G logo on the headstock and the truss rod cover says Tokoyo Sound Co. Where it is different from all the others I have seen is the two 3 position rocker switches on the upper horn. It has 2 single coil pickups with massive slugs, trem arm, 1 vol and 1 tone knob in the usual spot.
