Location: CA | New to me. Says only made one year. Anyone know WHAT year, how many made, and why that bowl (actually, the whole guitar) looks pretty much exactly like an O? |

Location: When?? | It's a Hohner ECA-800 Eclipse. Korean-made. They also made a 12 string, ECA-612 Eclipse.
What years? I dunno. How many? I dunno.
You can Google those model numbers for more info, sale ads, etc.
Here also is an OFC thread of what was being said here about them in 2007.

Location: CA | Thanks much for info. Not contemplating buying it by any means. Interesting treatment for the bowl. There was a time before carbon fiber when some racing catamarans had hulls made like this - thin slices of cross-cut balsa (4X4X 1/8 inches as I remember) sandwiched between two layers of fiberglass. I'm no engineer, but was told this matrix was very strong and stiff. Problems arose when you dinged the 'glass - then water got in and saturated the wood. Foam eventually replaced the wood... |
