OVERVIEW OF THE MARCO POLO T500e SB LTD BY EKO GUITARS

The Marco Polo T500e SB LTD comes in Natural color with a Gloss finish and with a Travel shape, ideal for being carried comfortably by the musician everywhere. The entire Marco Polo series is All Solid, so, with solid wood top, bands and bottom, the nature of the wood is enhanced in favor of a particularly specific tone. The combination of Italian Solid Spruce on the top and Solid Bocote on the sides and back, the result of careful research, gives this instrument a very wide tonal spectrum that is always well balanced on every single string. A decidedly important feature is the presence of a high-performance amplification system, the Fishman Flex Blend: consisting 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 taken from the microphone to the piezo signal, through a “blend” potentiometer. Among the controls, in addition to the Output Volume and the Blend, there is a display tuner (which can be activated by pressing the volume potentiometer) and an EQ control that works in “mid-scooped” mode: kept to a minimum, the signal is not equalized (flat), increasing the medium frequencies are gradually reduced in favor of low and high, very convenient for obtaining a sound already “ready” for the mix. In the event that the guitar should have feedback problems, a very common situation in the acoustic field, it is possible to reverse the phase by pressing the EQ potentiometer. The combination of all these features make the Marco Polo T500e SB LTD a suitable instrument in professional settings, both in the recording studio
