Akın Eldes's unique technique and the characteristic sound make him different from other guitarists in the world.

Guitars

Akın Eldes's choice of electric guitars depends on his characteristic sound. Therefore, Eldes uses various special hand-made guitars by Murat Sezen.[4] And also, he generally plays Yamaha Pacifica PAC1511MS or Steinberger Headless guitar in Pinhani Concerts. Additionally, he is playing his black old Fender Stratocaster nowadays. According to many people, Stratocaster reflects his own feelings.
