Musa by Eko: High-End Inspiration
With the "Musa" series, Eko Guitars delivers a flagship line designed to inspire creativity. The Fire 801 exemplifies this: a modern Strat-style design, carefully selected woods, and reliable electronics for a guitar that combines Italian elegance with contemporary performance.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
Ideal for the ambitious beginner as well as the intermediate/advanced guitarist, the Fire 801 Musa covers a wide range: rock, hard rock, and metal thanks to the humbuckers, but also blues and jazz with softer intermediate positions. Its short 24.75" scale length facilitates bends and wide chords.
Sound
The YHL Marsbucker humbuckers deliver a dense tone, prominent mids, and generous sustain. Alder provides balance and attack, while the flamed maple top adds brightness and definition. The 5-way selector switch offers tones ranging from sharp bridge pickup to creamy neck pickup. The EKO Steel HRC57 vibrato, with adjustable saddles, allows fine intonation adjustment and maintains tuning stability, complemented by locking tuners for tuning reliability.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The guitar comes with a waterproof padded gigbag. To make the most of it: a set of 10-46 strings (original gauge), a standard strap, a quality 6.35 mm jack cable, an electric guitar capo, and an A-frame guitar stand. These accessories are universally compatible with 6-string electric guitars.
