September: a month of events for Eko Guitars, with appearances at Guitar Summit 2025 in Mannheim, Acoustic Guitar Village during Cremona Musica 2025, and the Identitalia 2025 exhibition of iconic Italian brands in Mestre. Three important occasions where the Eko Guitars brand showcased various new products to both Italian and international audiences, while also representing the identity of the brand in institutional settings.

Guitar Summit 2025

Mannheim, September 2025 – Eko Guitars participated in the Guitar Summit 2025 in Mannheim (Germany), hosted at the booth of distributor ALGAM DACH (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland). This internationally significant event provided the perfect stage to present several important additions to the Eko catalog.

Among the brand-new products, the highlight was the BAIO XL (Box All In One), a versatile and innovative multi-effects pedal designed for electric, acoustic, classical guitars, as well as acoustic and electric basses.

Eko guitars were also prominently featured:
- The popular TRIBUTE series was presented alongside the VINTAGE REISSUE line, with the new 6- and 12-string Ranger VR models, selected by Fishman for the world premiere of the Fluence Acoustic pickups – an innovative soundhole system perfectly integrated into the Ranger’s design.
- The ORIGINAL family was well represented by models like the 500 STEALTH, 600 LIGNUM, 700 WILDWOOD and 800 MUSA (in elegant Transparent Red and Grey finishes). Fishman also used Eko guitars to demonstrate their Fluence pickups for electric guitar.

Visitors had the chance to try out all Eko guitars paired with the new BAIO XL pedal at the booth – an experience met with great enthusiasm and appreciation from musicians, distributors, and fans alike.

Guitar Summit also proved to be a key networking opportunity: Eko Guitars met with distributors from all over Europe and beyond, strengthening existing relationships and opening doors to new collaborations.
A special guest at the booth was Massimo Varini, Project Leader of Eko Guitars, who personally presented the new releases and engaged with international content creators, sharing his artistic vision and experience.

Acoustic Guitar Village 2025

At the Acoustic Guitar Village 2025, Eko Guitars showcased the crown jewels of its acoustic guitar catalog, including the WOW series, all-solid guitars crafted with tonewoods from around the world; the Marco Polo series, travel-sized all-solid guitars with built-in amplification for portability; and the Alps series featuring the new G450ce Gipsy, inspired by the Italian Alps and built with spruce tops sourced from the very mountains to which the series is dedicated. Also on display were the updated Ranger Futura and Infinito models.

The new TRI series was a standout success: four models – two dreadnought and two auditorium – impressed with their rich acoustic tone, integrated effects, and listening experience enhanced by the side soundport. The range was officially unveiled during a live demo at the Event Area. The TRI models also amazed for their amplified sound, equipped with both piezo and internal microphone systems. Gianfilippo Fancello (Eko Guitars Product Specialist) and Francesco Ierace (Eko Guitars ambassador) hosted the session, explaining every detail and performing live in a jam session together.

Marco Giovanni Ferrario and Luca Francioso represented the WOW and Infinito guitars: Marco performed on the Open Stage with his WOW D800e SS, while Luca delivered a booth demo using his WOW A800e CR and the Infinito.

Identitalia 2025

Eko Guitars was selected by the Ministry of Enterprises to be part of the Identitalia exhibition, dedicated to iconic Italian brands that have brought international recognition to Italy. Over 100 major brands were chosen, including Lavazza, Barilla, Campari, Nutella, and many others.

For the occasion, Eko Guitars presented its most representative Made in Italy acoustic guitar from the current catalog – the Infinito – alongside historical photos that highlight Eko’s legacy and impact on the musical instrument industry. The Infinito pays tribute to Recanati (birthplace of Eko) and the poet Giacomo Leopardi, who serves as its artistic inspiration.

The exhibition “Identitalia – The Iconic Italian Brands” was inaugurated on September 26, 2025, at M9 – Museum of the 20th Century in Venice Mestre. It is dedicated to some of the most historically significant brands that have shaped – and continue to shape – Italian culture and industry.

Organized by MIMIT and UIBM, in collaboration with Unioncamere and the Association of Historic Italian Brands, and first presented last year at Palazzo Piacentini, the headquarters of the Ministry, the event was attended by Minister of Enterprises and Made in Italy Sen. Adolfo Urso, Mayor of Venice Luigi Brugnaro, President of the Venice Foundation Vincenzo Marinese, Vice President of the Venice and Rovigo Chamber of Commerce Roberto Bottan, Deputy Vice President of the Historic Brands Association Armando De Nigris, and representatives from the featured brands.

The exhibition, curated by professors Carlo Martino and Francesco Zurlo from La Sapienza University of Rome and the Politecnico di Milano, presents a rich narrative mosaic of brand stories that have helped build Italian identity, culture, and imagination. The interplay of these brand stories reflects a multifaceted yet cohesive image of a country that innovates and looks to the future with creativity. The exhibition path – featuring visual touchpoints like logos, ads, packaging, and products – follows the rhythm of everyday life, from morning to night, becoming a symbolic journey through the brands that shape our daily experiences.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a full program of events. Special focus will be given to educational and outreach activities on brand building and visual identity. This initiative is part of the iNEST Project – Interconnected Nord-Est Innovation Ecosystem, funded by the PNRR.
Identitalia will be open from September 27 to February 15, at M9 – Museum of the 20th Century in Venice Mestre.
