Yikes. No thanks. The first guitar I had was an Eko acoustic that my sister bought for me in around 1978/79. I still have it. It's a piece of shit. :embarrassed:
 
My only real issue is the location of the input jack. It doesn't work on that guitar at all.

Other than it is butt ugly.

Gonna pass on this one.
 
jack location is bad indeed.
for the right price, I'd get one
love the finish
not too keen on the Hey Zeus fretmarkers though.
but that's another story.
