The TL-300 Black Visual Note is the electric guitar from the "Visual Note" series by Eko Guitars, featuring a Poplar body, Maple neck, and 22-fret Laurel fingerboard equipped with the Visual Note LED strip interfacing with the dedicated APP. It comes with 2 single-coil pickups, Volume and Tone controls, and a 3-way blade switch.

OVERVIEW OF THE TL-300 BLACK VISUAL NOTE BY EKO GUITARS
Visual Note is a system consisting of an LED strip and a control unit to be applied directly onto the guitar fingerboard (electric, acoustic, or classical), along with an APP capable of managing all its functions. Visual Note is primarily designed for guitar students and teachers, providing all the tools needed for both learning and teaching. This system allows you to learn guitar independently, wherever and whenever you want, by following the guide lights directly on the guitar fingerboard along with the reference audio. If you are a teacher, you can assign exercises, scales, arpeggios, and songs (via the APP) that the student will instantly view and follow on their own fingerboard. A super interactive, direct, and engaging teaching and learning method — education 2.0.
