Eko ranger 6 acoustic guitar professional#
Built like a tank - strong, heavy, loud - with an action so high you could hardly hold down an open "E" ! However, it was my first steel string acoustic and, with a little help from the Beatles Songbook, I learned to play on that big mother! Just last year, a professional musician called by my office on a completely unrelated matter, saw the Eko in it's case and told me that he used to own one too. It was just a few months old when I bought it. : I have owned an Eko Ranger 6 (Jumbo Acoustic) since 1971. No idea if it's worth anything but its really nice to have something so sweet and old. It's the most beautiful little thing you ever saw and it plays easy and cute. I have a 1963 EKO P2 acoustic, made in Italy. Value? Well, I have recently seen a couple change hands on eBay at around £125 - £140 (around $200) so you're not sitting on a fortune, but if yours is one of the original "Made in Italy" models (see sticker inside soundhole) it will only appreciate, even if not significantly. Try some nice D'Addario EJ16 phosphor bronze strings next time you change them - mmmm, nice!
A Gibson or a Martin it is not, and never will be, but it would never let you down. Next day, he returned it, explaining that he had simply shimmed the neck where it met the body, and WOW! The action is now nice and low, and the guitar plays as sweet as anything. "No problem" he replied, and took my guitar away. He said his biggest regret in life was selling it! I explained about the high action, and that I had lowered the bridge as far as I could. I have owned an Eko Ranger 6 (Jumbo Acoustic) since 1971.
