The Alps J450e is the electrified acoustic guitar from the "EGO" series by Eko Guitars with a Grand Auditorium shape, solid Italian spruce top, 3-layer laminated Koa back and sides, Branko Rosewood fingerboard and Mahogany neck, amplified with Fishman Flex Plus. Ideal for the guitarist who loves strumming and perfect for live and studio contexts.
EKO GUITARS ALPS J450e OVERVIEW
With the "Grand Auditorium" shape, the Alps is characterized by a deep and enveloping sound, typical nuances of jumbo-style guitars. The tonal panorama of this instrument is enriched by the Italian Red Spruce top combined with 3-layer laminated Koa sides and back. The body attack at the 14th allows you to reach the most advanced frets with agility, a very useful feature for solo guitarists, always considering that on an acoustic guitar it is difficult to reach frets beyond the 15th. The Alps comes in Natural color with Glossy paint and mounts Eko Vintage Open Gear mechanics. From the electronics point of view, it stands out for reliability and performance thanks to the onboard Fishman Flex Plus system, a "Sonitone" piezo transducer with Bass, Treble, Volume and Phase Inversion controls.
THE BRANKO ROSEWOOD
After two decades of research, Blackwood Tek, Algam's partner since 2015, has developed an ecological process, planting short-cycle pine forests in New Zealand (Pinus Radiata), which meets the requirements of the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council). The production process ensures that this wood contains little moisture (only about 5%), is dense and resistant to changes in temperature or humidity. This means that it is not affected by the temperature changes that occur during transport, and is immediately ready to be used. By giving Branko Wood a darker color, you get a perfect substitute for Ebony, while with a lighter color, you get a perfect substitute for Rosewood. Eko Guitars, part of the large Algam galaxy (which in Italy is called AlgamEko), has been using Branko Rosewood on the EVO, MIA and ALPS series since 2021.
