An Eko solid-body with a stealth design, rooted in the "T" tradition
Designed as an accessible and well-built solid-body, the Tero 500 Stealth follows the codes of Telecaster-format guitars while adding modern choices (locking tuners, ergonomic neck joint, splittable electronics). Its satin black finish highlights sleek lines and coordinated hardware for a remarkable style/quality ratio.
Who is it for and what styles?
Ideal for
beginners and intermediate players seeking a reliable and inspiring instrument, it excels in
rock, hard rock, and metal. Thanks to the coil-split and parallel wiring in the middle position, it can also deliver softer tones suitable for
blues, clean
indie, or smooth
jazz.
Sound
The two
humbuckers provide full, tight, and precise tones for saturated riffs and leads, with strong
sustain. The
push-pull tone control splits each pickup into single-coil for sharper, airier attacks. The
3-position selector covers bridge (cutting), neck (round and singing), and a middle position wired
in parallel for a scooped, bright, and velvety register. The
paulownia body adds lightness and resonance, the
maple neck adds articulation, and the WPC+ fingerboard ensures stability and consistent playability.
Recommended compatible accessories
To get the most out of this Tero 500 Stealth, choose: a set of
10-46 nickel strings,
6.35 mm jack cable (straight/angled),
adjustable tension capo compatible with 14" radius, a well-fitted
Tele-style gig bag or hard case, a comfortable
strap, and a foldable
stand for solid-body guitars.
