Eko designed the ?Lignum? series as a tribute to the material that makes music. The solid alder body, torrefied maple neck and fingerboard, as well as the flamed maple pickguard, reflect a desire to let the grain, reflections, and warmth of the wood speak. Within the Tero range, the 601 Lignum stands out with its natural aesthetic and black hardware that emphasizes its Tele-style lines.
Versatile and accessible, the Tero 601 Lignum suits ambitious beginner guitarists as well as intermediate and advanced players seeking a reliable instrument for rock, hard rock, and metal. The humbuckers? split function opens up more subtle registers (blues, pop, jazz), while the long scale length and flat radius favor precise riffs, controlled bends, and fast solos.
Alder provides a balanced low/high end and precise attack, complemented by the brightness and definition of torrefied maple. The two humbuckers deliver full, tight tones with good sustain, perfect for distortion. The push-pull switches convert each humbucker into a single coil for airier, snappier timbres; the middle position wired in parallel offers a soft, velvety hollow tone. The EKO Steel HRC57 tremolo combined with locking tuners maintains stability while allowing expressive vibratos.
Nickel string set 10?46 (original setup) to maintain tension and tonal balance; gig bag or hard case in electric guitar format, Tele style; adjustable 50 mm strap with secure attachments; capo for electric guitar with modern radius (?14") for even pressure without fret buzz.
Push-pull: tone potentiometer pulled to split humbuckers into single coils; radius: fingerboard curvature (14" = fairly flat fingerboard, ideal for bends); scale length: vibrating string length, here 25.6" / 650 mm, for crisp attack and tight lows.
