The new Eko Infinito represents the R&D (research and development) laboratory that contains interesting innovations from a lutheristic point of view. It features a top made of Italian Alpine Spruce, a wood also used for the internal chaining of both top and back, fingerboard and bridge made of National Walnut, a wood also used for making the rosette. The neck is made of Okoumè, a wood from the Mahogany family that is distinguished by its extreme lightness.
For the back and sides, ETS (Eko Tone System) treated Okoumè was again chosen, also treated with anilines and special lamps to embellish and deepen the typical grain of this exotic wood, as well as to improve its bass response. The entire instrument is varnished with a varnish produced a few kilometers from the Eko Guitars factory after careful research by the manufacturer’s technicians in collaboration with luthier Roberto Fontanot: the result is an extremely durable but minimal-thickness finish, with an effect very close to open pore.
To ensure the absolute stability of the neck and fingerboard, 3 carbon fiber anti-twist bars calibrated in different thicknesses were inserted; the nut and saddle are also made of carbon fiber. Carbon fiber was also used for the tuning machines, which with a very precise 21:1 ratio allow for careful tuning and the fantastic feeling of no added weight on the headstock. The Infinito 018 EQ acoustic guitar features the Fishman Flex Blend preamplifier, the latest arrival from Fishman, whose sleek styling makes it a perfect match for this guitar. In addition, the Fishman Flex’s intuitive design makes it easy to find the sound you’re looking for by blending the piezo and microphone signal and acting on the tone control.
