Reply With QuoteHi Degas, the best solution is to find an old Eko from the 80's (a lot of Eko from the 80's are built with ferro sonic pickups), then take off the pickups and put it in your lovely Ultrasonic...
I don't know exactly all the Eko that are built with ferro sonic. But, i know that the "Eko Kiwi" does.
like this one. http://www.2ememain.be/musique-instr...3%A9lectriques
Hope you already got your missing pickup.
anyway... i hope it help !
Cheers.

| 1972 Gibson showcase brochures |
 In 1972 Gibson produced a series of 'Guitar of the Month' brochures, each dedicated to one of their high end models, the Les Paul Recording guitar, L5-CES, ES-175D, Super 400-CES, ES-355TD-SV and
Byrdland. Each brochure was a single sheet folded into four panels, with details of the instruments themselves, their features, musical purpose, and a little history behind the development of each guitar. Only the Les Paul Recording was a new model; the others were all well established in the Gibson line. Follow the link to see scans and further information on these leaflets and other Gibson guitar catalogues from the CMI and Norlin periods.

| 1961 Vox Stroller |
 The earliest versions of the Vox Stroller were actually copies of an early Japanese electricguitar, the Guyatone (also sold under the brand Antoria) LG50. These Strollers, although short-lived did undergo a few changes before taking on the more familiar Strat influenced style of many mid-sixties UK-built Vox guitars. The biggest difference between early and late LG50-style Strollers (and the two pickup version, the Shadow) was the larger pickup, a shade longer, but noticeably wider used in the very first Vox guitars. Compare this early Vox to a 1963 Stroller with the later V1 pickup. For more information about Vox guitar pickups in general, see the Vox guitar pickups page.

Here's an Eko-built Shaftesbury Ric copy with the ferro sonic pickups
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SHAFTESBUR...item337e0fa55f
I'm guessing this is going to sound pretty much like any semi-hollow Italian Eko Vox
