The "Lignum" Series: Wood at the Heart of Creation
With "Lignum," Eko highlights the organic qualities of wood: visible grain, natural tint, tactile sensations. The Aire 601 Lignum Natural embodies this approach by combining a solid alder body with a torrefied maple neck/fingerboard, resulting in a guitar with an authentic look and modern performance.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a modern Super-Strat, it is also suitable for motivated beginners. Its HSS configuration and 24 frets easily cover pop, rock, indie, funk, blues, and fusion, with enough power to push into hard rock thanks to the bridge humbucker.
Sound Characteristics
Solid alder offers a balanced midrange and attack with clear projection. Torrefied maple provides clarity, quick response, and tuning stability. The Eko "Rockbucker" single coils deliver precise cleans and punchy crunch tones, while the bridge humbucker offers bite and, when split, more open tones. The 5-way selector covers classic "scooped" in-between pickup positions to full, powerful sounds, ensuring versatility for stage and studio.
