OVERVIEW OF THE ST-100 BLACK VISUAL NOTE BY EKO GUITARS

Visual Note is a device consisting of an LED strip and a control unit to be applied directly to the guitar fretboard (electric, acoustic, classical) and an APP capable of managing all its functions. Visual Note is primarily aimed at guitar students and teachers, providing all the necessary tools for both learning and teaching. This system allows you to learn guitar independently, wherever, whenever, and however you want, following the guiding lights directly on the guitar fretboard and the reference audio. If you are a teacher, you can assign exercises, scales, arpeggios, and songs (via the APP) that the student will instantly visualize and follow on their own fretboard. A super interactive, direct, engaging teaching and learning method, 2.0 education.

The "Tribute Starter" series was created to offer all guitarists and bassists, especially beginners, the opportunity to own an instrument with characteristics similar to guitar and bass models that have made music history. Thanks to the fantastic quality/price ratio, these affordable instruments easily satisfy the desire to play an instrument with a classic design. The ST-100 has a Poplar body, Maple neck, and Resin fretboard. It features three Eko pickups in an S-S-S configuration, Volume, 2 Tone controls, and a 5-way selector. It has a 42mm nut, a 650mm scale length, the fretboard has 22 frets with a 14" radius, and a tremolo arm is also included.
