Eko Ranger Guitar Serial Numbers

Some pics of my new guitar. 2d composite transformation program in computer graphics using c pdf. It is an EKO Ranger VI. It's stamped 1968, made in Italy and it also has a signature. (I think it might be handwritten) It plays and it looks awesome. Has some cracks but they're only on the clear coat.

But still if u find any thing out scale, do forward COMMENTS. A watan a watan humko teri kasam song download.

The bolt on neck feels nice. There's also a height adjustable bridge. I guess these were fairly common back in the day in Europe.

May 29, 2018 - Hi all.I just came across an Eko Ranger V1 acoustic guitar.the serial number is on it but I'm wondering if it's worth buying. The seller wants 85. Subject: RE: what year??? - Eco Ranger 12 guitar From: Sandy Mc Lean Date: 22 Dec 09 - 08:25 PM I have a six string Eko J-54/1. The date sep 5 1969 is stamped on the inside sticker. The J-54 the Electra are an identical twins. I am unsure when EKO started using the Ranger name for this model, but in 1969 they were stamping the date inside.

Double bound body. The tuners are really cool. Never seen that type before. Anyway I really like mine. One of the nicest acoustics I've ever had.

I might make this the one acoustic I keep for life. *The first pic is the one that looks the closest to the actual color/shade. I certainly remember these guitars from the period. They were cheap - around £30 when the cheapest Martin was about £150 and a J-45 was £100. They certainly looked OK, and the necks were well-made and coiuld be set-up for a nice action.

But the 100% laminated bodies didn't exactly make them tone-monsters. As my son said a year or two back, after playing a much more expensive guitar than the Eko, ' After playing the Gibson [J50] and the Taylor [214E], that's like playing a cardboard box'. But, on balance,they were the right thing in the right place at the right time at the right price.

So many British C&W groups featured a rhythm guitarist/lead singer with an (electrified) Eko. At least they stayed in tune!

I can honestly say that EKO's can easily hold their own. Agreed, the laminate/laquer is OTT (although Tribi9's actually looks good for once) & they're probably the heaviest acoustics out there but they still have gorgeous tone.

Deep, warm, resonant. Pretty bright & chimey on the high side too. The Martin is definitely more balanced & way, way lighter but I really dig the dark boominess of my EKO's. I actually bought the 80's model because I'd read they were slightly lighter in weight but I still class my '73 as my number 1.

Nice guitars Porky and Zenjenga. I thought the different EKO headstock logo was for guitars made earlier than mine Porky but I see was wrong. I guess they went back in the 80's to the older logo. I do agree they sound different but it is a nice different. I'm not even sure how to describe. It is not very loud but the sound is very pleasing.

The only thing that was wrong with mine is that some of the frets were sliding out. I had to tap a few of them back in and others I completely removed and placed them back in. They're fine now and don't seem to be moving much.

So I've been wondering about these EKO guitars. I know they are really cheap, but they are also vintage? This is what I find interesting. Genesis played EKO 12 strings in the early 70s. So did Jimmy Page and a lot of other bands and artists. My question is why?

They sound very unique I must say. I've tried an EKO 12 string and it was beautiful to play on, and the sound was very nice. I didn't know they were so cheap and I was kinda shocked when I found out as well. How do you feel about these guitars? The sound and the playability on these vintage ones? Any experience with EKO 6 strings as well?
