Just found this site. Can't give you much on your guitar, but I have an EKO 6 string I bought in 1973. It's jet black, dreadnought shape and full with a very full sound, weghs a ton too!Never seen one since, anyone have any ideas on it? It looks very 'high end' in the EKO range.
Has lots of design in gold pearl effect on head stock, pearl fret markers and double scratchplates.::: I recently have bought an EKO J 56-1 12 string Electric-Acoustic and wish to find out more about it.::: If anyone knows anything about it or EKO guitars in general I would::: greatly appreciate any information. Thanks.:: Dear Sir,:: For more information about EKO guitars visit:: Best regards, Geoff. I aiso have an Eko that matches your description black double scratchplates,gold hardware white bindings and M.O.P. Fret markers.i paid £120 for it in 1973 and it still plays beautifully!!Eko was an Italian made guitar the more common acoustic was the Ranger which I believe was made in various guises and finishes.as far as I am aware it started with a Series 1 and went up to a Series 6.I also own a Ranger 6 which I bought at an autojumble at Newark recently.This one is blonde with a mahogony? Upside down bridge.The bridge 'bone' is fully adjustable enabling the action to be adjusted with great accuracy and thus makes the guitar very 'playable' I think they are one of the best medium priced guitars ever produced,much better than any Fender,of an equivalent price.

I bought an Eko J56 12 string acoustic made in 1965 or 66 for £8.It was covered in greasy soot and dust,broken strings etc. But with a clean and new strings it came up an instant player with the best action Ive ever played and I do have a Gibson L1. These Eko's are becoming a cult instrument in the UK and if anyone's got one hang on to it!!
The volume and tone is beyond belief and with a pick up you could really go to town. Yes they weigh a ton but is this bad?? They are ideal buskers and pretty much bomb proof so if you want to do a Woody Guthrie take you Eko, If I lost mine or it was damaged I'd not be pleased so I'm going to get another one as insurance. Keep playing the Delta blues you young fellers.I'm 73 and time is limited.
It is an EKO Ranger VI. Only says 'Eston' with a tiny 'Made in Italy' and a serial number. I'm glad you like it, Rangers are amazing guitars. Here is a very nice vintage 1969 Eko Ranger VI Dreadnaught Acoustic guitar. This thing plays great and has been. Sorry, this listing is no longer available.
Pick up the torch,AND an EKO!
