Talk:Eko Guitars

Is it "Eko" or "EKO"??
Yes, I understand the allusion to both "echo" and "ecco" (unmentioned in the article). But every usage I've encountered over the years has all-capped the name as EKO. More specifically, all caps but the "E" larger, as in the logotype. In this article, two of the three references and the final Gallery all refer to it as EKO. The only time I see it "down" is when incorporated into a model name, e.g. the Ekomaster.

Yet the current corporate incarnation seems satisfied with "Eko."

the Italy connection
Early EKO products are certainly of Italian origin. Contemporary products… probably not so much, though this is (strongly) hinted in the article, so I suspect some interference here, whether by fans or Corporate. I note an NXT from Red China, a DUO from Red China, a Kadett from Red China, a ROK VI from Red China, and an Aqua from Red China. Seems to be a pattern.

I remain uncertain that the current EKO is actually a proper heir to the '60s EKO, or a mere brand as with Danelectro, Silvertone, Harmony, etc.

terrible organization
Only in the penultimate sentence is the company's foundation mentioned.

keyboards, amps, effects
Except being referred to in the first sentence as "similar instruments" to guitars, no mention at all is made of EKO keys and electronics, yet that's seven-of-seven the content of the final Gallery.

the Vox connection
EKO built more than the three Vox models. I own a Panther bass "Made in Italy by EKO".
