With its immediately recognizable double horn silhouette, the DV300 pays tribute to a standard that has left a lasting mark on the history of rock and hard rock. Developed by Eko, an Italian manufacturer renowned for accessible and reliable instruments, it positions itself as a robust gateway to this legendary design, with craftsmanship and electronics designed to withstand rehearsals, first gigs, and hours of playing.
The Eko DV300 is primarily aimed at beginner guitarists (and casual players) who want an effective electric guitar without hassle. Its two humbuckers configuration makes it very comfortable in blues, rock, hard rock, and all genres requiring a dense, full-bodied sound. The C-profile neck suits most hands and facilitates learning chords as well as early solo licks.
The pair of humbuckers offers a higher output level than single coils, with a thicker, rounder, and fuller tone: perfect for gaining sustain and impact as soon as you push the gain. On the bridge pickup, you get a sharper attack for riffs and power chords; on the neck pickup, the bass is more present and the feel more "singing" for leads. The middle position allows blending the two for more balanced sounds. The passive electronics (2 volumes, 2 tones) make it easy to shape the tone, from crunch to big rock.
