I just received the beauty today, unboxing and wow!!! For 139 on sale, it's really a great deal. The build quality is very good and the guitar is heavy, it breathes quality.
Out of the box, the guitar is well set up, I just lowered the strings a bit at the bridge thanks to the 2 adjustment screws (not necessarily needed but I like guitars with strings close to the neck) and it doesn't buzz because the neck is curved just right.
The reason for this purchase is to test a fret 0 and I am not disappointed, it's super pleasant. The bridge adjustment with the screws is really great too, it avoids a lot of fiddling.
Sound-wise, it's very crystalline but still with good bass and the guitar vibrates really well and I think it will improve.
In terms of look, it's really superb, however the color of the top is a bit darker than the photos.
I haven't tested the Fishman yet but I'm sure it will be good.
Summary: for 139 an electroacoustic like this is unbeatable I think, if you're hesitating go for it!!! And +++ for the build quality, I recently bought an Epiphone Masterbuilt Signature Slash (which costs 6 times the price of this Eko) and 3 consecutive exchanges due to manufacturing defects.
A little cherry on top, a jack is provided along with the adjustment keys for the truss rod and the bridge.
And finally, bravo Woodbrass for the speed, ordered on a Thursday evening received Monday morning, efficient.
Edit: I was able to test the Fishman, by the way to my great surprise the 9V battery was included. It does the job well, with a high output level, only 2 adjustment knobs, tone and volume that work well and allow subtle nuances, I will test it in concert soon, I think it will work.
