EKO Rocket Rokes Model VI Sunburst 1960s – Vintage Italian Electric Guitar with Original Case

No sales tax for customers outside California.

The EKO Rocket VI Sunburst guitar was designed in Italy and became famous as the signature instrument of the Italian band The Rokes.

Step into the swinging ’60s with this EKO Rocket Rokes Model VI Sunburst, an eye-catching vintage electric guitar built in Italy during the golden era of European guitar craftsmanship. Known for its distinctive body shape, vibrant finish, and quirky mid-century styling, the Rokes Model VI was inspired by the British pop scene and delivers both retro charm and unique tonal character.

The stock DeArmond Dynasonic pickup sounds killer!

This example remains in excellent vintage condition and comes with its original case, a rare inclusion that adds value for players and collectors alike. Its bold sunburst finish, chrome hardware, and signature Rocket pickguard give it instant stage appeal, while the responsive pickups and comfortable neck profile make it a joy to play.

All the parts are original, and there are no repairs or problematic issues with the guitar.  The frets are low however, though they are playable.  There are some dings here and there - examine the pics and ask us if you need more detail.  

The original case is included.  In side you'll find a cool old Eko product flier and what appears to be the original guitar cable.  

Every instrument at Mahar’s Vintage Guitars is carefully inspected, professionally set up, and fully documented with high-quality photos so you can buy with confidence.
