L’opzione 3 pickups venne aggiunta nella versione finale.Įrano intese come top di gamma, con prestazione di lusso: corpo tipo Strato in legno pieno (probabilmente pioppo), tastiera in ebano, binding sul manico e meccaniche Van Ghent cromate chiuse. Disponibile con 2 o 4 pickups, con leva vibrato sempre. Insomma, un modello assolutamente di transizione. Le prime sono contemporanee delle mitiche 500 e 700, le ultime appartengono alla stessa generazione delle Kadett. Le chitarre 820 o Condor sono una serie iniziata come tipiche solidbodies Eko dei primi anni 60 e finita come non meno tipiche chitarre Eko del periodo successivo. Once the plastic finish discarded the guitar is not that desirable and attracts less value, except for some custom solid colour finishes (there’s a baby blue to get mad for)… The oldest version is more sought after due to the sparkly top and the perloid back. Since the short after introduced Cobra range offered a more exciting design and better ergonomics despite cheaper features the Condor never was a tremendous success. They were intended as top-of-the-line instruments with upmarket features: Strat-shaped body made of solid wood (probably poplar), ebony fretboard, bound neck, enclosed chrome Van Ghent tuners.

A THREE-PICKUP OPTION WAS ADDED IN THE FINAL VERSION. OFFFERED WITH 2 OR 4 PICKUPS, ALL WITH A TREMOLO TAILPIECE. THE FIRST EXAMPLES ARE CONTEMPORANEOUS OF THE LEGENDARY 500 AND 700, THE LAST ONES BELONG TO THE SAME GENERATION AS THE KADETT.

AT THE END THOSE GUITARS WERE NO LESS TYPICAL EKO S OF THE LATE 60′S. THE 820 OR CONDOR RANGE WAS STARTED AS A TYPICAL EARLY 60′S EKO SOLIDBODY.
