Changing the set-up of a guitar and adjusting the action without
removing the strings has always represented a dream for guitar
players and technicians all over the world.

EKO FastLOK System
50 years ago, EKO decided to apply the Bolt-on technology within its acoustic guitars; that is, body and neck held together by
4 fixing screws, an approach which later influenced several major
guitar manufacturers worldwide.
Today EKO presents a new revolutionary FastLOK System
(Patent Pending) specifically for guitar set-up adjustment, which
will surely influence the music market within the next 50 years.
Features
The FastLok System enables string height adjustment with
respect to the fingerboard (Action) in a simple, effective, and
quick manner without removing the strings, and without the
need of a luthier.
The FastLOK System may change the inclination of the angle
(a)

Structure
The main support of the entire system (Drawing A) is the main
pivot which includes both the locking system (locking pivot) as
well as the screw adjusting system (set up screw).
The locking pivot’s main function is to assemble body and neck.
Drawing A shows the neck and body are first separated; in Drawing B, they have been assembled.

Drawing A also shows that by rotating the locking screw through the Allen key, the locking pivot moves towards the body. At
the same time, the set-up screw acts on the neck inclination with
respect to the body.
between neck and body and thus cause a variation on the distance between the strings and fingerboard. This optimizes the relationship between movement of the strings and fingerboard, and
enables to reach the action desired by the guitar player.
Furthermore, another unique aspect of the FastLOK System
is that the guitar’s neck can easily and quickly be changed.
How it works
First, unlock the device which assembles neck and body through
clockwise rotations (a) of the locking screw.
The second step allows neck inclination adjustments through the
set up screw.
A clockwise rotation (b) will allow the neck to move nearer to
the strings; on the other hand, an anticlockwise rotation (c) will
make the distance from neck to strings greater.
When this is done, the locking screw must be rotated clockwise (d),
locking the neck again, and the procedure has come to the end.
(c)
On the back of the guitar, a scale divided into 8 parts (each part
represents 45°) will allow an accurate graduated adjustment.
The actual movements throughout this process must be carried out at all times with great care, and with small gradual
adjustments.
Other adjustments
Most EKO FastLOK models offer other possibilities:
• String height variation with respect to the bridge through
small saddle adjustments.
• Truss rod acts throughout the entire fingerboard and not just
until the 14th fret as in glued on neck guitars.

Sistema EKO FastLOK
Modificare l’assetto del proprio strumento e variare l’action senza
togliere le corde è da sempre il sogno di ogni chitarrista
Che cos’è
50 anni fa, la EKO decideva di applicare la tecnologia Bolt-on
sulle chitarre acustiche di sua produzione, ovvero l’ancoraggio
del manico al corpo tramite 4 viti di fissaggio – una soluzione
che avrebbe poi influenzato alcuni tra i maggiori produttori di
chitarre al mondo. La EKO oggi propone un nuovo rivoluzionario
sistema per la regolazione dell’assetto della chitarra, che siamo
sicuri influenzerà il mercato per i prossimi 50 anni: il FastLOK
System (Patent Pending).
A cosa serve
Con il FastLOK è possibile regolare l’altezza delle corde rispetto
alla tastiera (Action) in modo semplice, efficace e veloce, senza
rimuovere le corde e senza alcun intervento di liuteria specializzata.
L’azione di FastLOK System provoca una variazione dell’incli-

(b)
Com’è fatto
La parte portante di tutto il sistema (Disegno A) è il main pivot,
nel quale troviamo sia il sistema di bloccaggio locking pivot, sia il
sistema di regolazione a vite set-up screw.
Il locking pivot ha la funzione principale di assemblare i componenti cassa-manico.
Il Disegno A mostra il corpo e il manico in posizione separata; il
Disegno B in posizione assemblata.

Dal Disegno A notiamo che, avvitando la vite di bloccaggio locking
screw tramite una brugola, l’elemento locking pivot si avvicina alla
cassa, mentre la vite di registro set-up screw agisce sull’inclinazione del manico rispetto alla cassa.
Sul retro della chitarra, una scala graduata divisa in otto parti
nazione (angolo di incidenza del manico rispetto alla cassa) e
quindi una variazione della distanza delle corde dalla tastiera.
Questo ottimizza il rapporto tra il movimento della corda e la tastiera, e permette di determinare l’action più adatta alle esigenze
del chitarrista.
Inoltre, un’altra particolarità del sistema FastLOK è quella di
poter sostituire il manico della chitarra in modo facile e veloce.
Come si usa
La prima azione consiste nello sbloccare con movimento anti-orario (a) il meccanismo che unisce il manico al corpo tramite una
vite di bloccaggio (locking screw).
La seconda operazione permette la regolazione dell’inclinazione
del manico, tramite la vite di registro (set-up screw). Con una
rotazione oraria (b), il manico si avvicinerà alle corde, mentre con
una rotazione anti-oraria (c), se ne allontanerà.
Fatto questo, basterà ruotare in senso orario (d) la vite di bloccaggio (locking screw) per porre termine all’operazione.
(c)
(ogni parte corrisponde a 45°) ci permette di avere un riferimento
nella regolazione.
Il movimento di regolazione deve essere fatto con la massima attenzione, con movimenti di rotazione inferiori a 45°.
Altre regolazioni
La gran parte dei modelli EKO FastLOK offrono ulteriori possibilità:
• La variazione dell’altezza delle corde al ponte attraverso la
“microregolazione” dell’adjustable saddle;
• L’asta del truss-rod EKO, a differenza di quello presente nelle
chitarre a manico incollato, agisce su tutta l’estensione della
tastiera e non soltanto fino al 14° tasto.
