WOW, an acronym for Wood Of the World Series, but also the exclamation of those who see these guitars for the first time, represents the top of the EKO catalog range. Every single guitar is unique and every wooden part is selected from a vast range of precious materials such as Cocobolo, Ovangkol, Koa, Ebony, and others. The entire WOW series is All Solid, meaning that with a solid top, back, and sides, the nature of the wood is enhanced, favoring a particularly specific timbre.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Master luthier, Roberto Fontanot, carefully selects the woods for each instrument to create masterpieces that will be the joy of every single musician. The variety of woods used for the back and sides of each guitar will give the six strings completely different characteristics in terms of sound.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The choice for the top fell on Italian Spruce, selected from the most figured of the highest quality grade, coming from a region of the Alps known for supplying woods used in the production of the world's finest violins; only a few manufacturers have access to these private reserves.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Wow A800e SC comes in a Natural color with a Gloss finish, in an Auditorium shape. The combination of Solid Spruce on the top and Solid Cocobolo on the back and sides, the result of careful research, gives this instrument a very broad and always well-balanced tonal spectrum on every single string. A very important feature is the presence of a high-performance amplification system, the Fishman Flex Blend: made up of a piezo and an internal condenser microphone, this system allows you to capture every nuance of the guitar thanks to the possibility of gradually adding the signal from the microphone to the piezo signal, via a "blend" potentiometer. Among the controls, in addition to the output Volume and blend, there is a display tuner (activated by pressing the volume potentiometer) and an EQ control that works in "mid-scooped" mode: when kept at minimum, the signal is not equalized (flat); increasing it gradually reduces the mid frequencies in favor of lows and highs, very convenient for obtaining a sound already "ready" for the mix. If the guitar experiences feedback issues, a very common situation in acoustic settings, it is possible to invert the phase by pressing the EQ potentiometer. The combination of all these features makes the Wow A800e SC a suitable instrument for professional contexts, both in the recording studio and on stage.</p><h2>STRENGTHS OF THE WOW A800e SC BY EKO GUITARS</h2><ul><li>A shape: 46mm NUT and 635mm scale;</li><li>Top and bracing (chains) in Solid Italian Alpine Spruce;</li><li>Highly selected, particularly figured woods;</li><li>Fishman Flex Blend with piezoelectric pickup, microphone, blend possibility between signals, tuner with mute function, anti-feedback, and tone control.</li></ul><h2>COMPARISON BETWEEN EKO GUITARS WOW SERIES MODELS</h2><center><iframe width="853" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zxSe5RTewlU" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></center><br><h2>SPECIFICATIONS OF THE WOW A800e SC BY EKO GUITARS</h2><p><strong>Color</strong>: Natural<br /><strong>Body Shape</strong>: Auditorium<br /><strong>Top Material</strong>: Solid Spruce<br /><strong>Back and Sides Material</strong>: Solid Cocobolo<br /><strong>Neck Material</strong>: Mahogany<br /><strong>Fingerboard Material</strong>: Ebony<br /><strong>Neck Shape</strong>: Eko Low C<br /><strong>Nut Width</strong>: 46 mm<br /><strong>Radius</strong>: 14&rdquo;<br /><strong>Scale Length</strong>: 635 mm<br /><strong>Number of Frets:</strong> 20<br /><strong>Fret Type</strong>: Medium Jumbo<br /><strong>Bridge Material</strong>: Ebony<br /><strong>Body Finish</strong>: Gloss<br /><strong>Neck Finish</strong>: Gloss<br /><strong>Tuners</strong>: Eko Vintage Open gear Butterbean<br /><strong>Electronics</strong>: Fishman FLA DAA AAA (piezo + microphone)<br /><strong>Electronics Controls</strong>: Volume, Eq (mid scooped), Mic Blend, Phase Invert, Tuner<br /><strong>Case</strong>: Waterproof Gigbag<br /><strong>Recommended Strings</strong>: Eko Bronze 12-53 Heavy Set/6</p>
