I have an EKO 285 from the early '60's. It's a knock off of a Gibson Super 400 kind of...big hollow body electric. I bought it about ten years ago, never really played it much. This past month I finally got around to taking the bolt on neck off and putting a shim at its heel to adjust the action as it should be from the strings to the fretboard. Also, adjusted the pickups to the best height and removed the needless metal casings that held the bridge in (they weren't needed to hold the bridge in place, and counterproductively raised the bridge way to high up...course I kept them for vintage value in case I ever sell the guitar and someone wants to put them back in for posterity.) Bottom line...the guitar plays really well now. Great feel, neck, pickup sound, nice hollow body twang to it. Its red glossy body and huge headstock is without question art deco.
