Eko guitars gained high popularity during the rock'n'roll craze of the 1960s, becoming the largest guitar exporter in Europe. Their electric models were often highly ornamented with pearl, featured 3 or 4 pickups and recognizable 'rocker' switches for pickup selection. The acoustic models were popular in country and folk rock bands of the late '60s. The best-known models of the '60s include:

Eko 400-4V Ekomaster (1960-1962)

ID Method 2: Source-code ID. Source-code identification is another way to identify your guitar. Look for a six- or seven-number code stamped into the pots. The last three or four numbers will tell you the year and week of production for that pot. Knowing the year the pot was made can help you better estimate the year the guitar was manufactured. The Vintage Price Guide has a value of $350-$450. The VPG is pretty good at placing values on Fender Strats, Gibson Les Pauls, Martin D18's and 28's, etc. In other words guitars that are bought and sold a lot so there is a lot of data. A guitar like an EKO, with such a limited number of guitars sold and a very limited market, the data.
