Many guitar players know that there are guitar serial number lookup decoders online. Guitar players and collectors often wonder how old their guitars are and what their worth in in today’s market. Recently I compared it with a expensive martin guitar and the Eko sounded almost as good.Have you ever wanted to know more about your guitar but didn’t know what the guitar serial numbers meant? After a set of good strings and a setup it feels like an expensive guitar. The 1 thing I didn’t like was the setup from factory.
I don’t know what will happen in couple of years but I looks promising. I Own it for 2 months now and it never failed on me. I thought I would leave the store with a guitar from around 400€. Went to my local store were they have a lot of brands and after playing with one of their eko’s I was sold. I was looking for affordable acoustic guitar since I didn’t own one.
Before buying it I didn’t really know about Eko in general. I own the Eko Ranger VI Vintage Reissue EQ and it’s a blast to play. Many people say it’s a lot of guitar for the price. The Eko rangers are famous for being built like tank and easy to set up. They had thinner and more consistent finish and improved bracing The post 1973 Rangers are Technically improved. Because of that the Ranger series become the very centre of the company in the 70s.īefore the reissues there has been 2 generations, the before 1973 rangers, and the post 1973. With the end of the Vox range guitars and competition of Japanese made electric guitars, Eko had to focus more on acoustics. At that time they also crafted small modified versions of these for Vox under the names country-western and folk twelve which ended in 1968.Īround 1967 the j-54 and j-56 where renamed Ranger VI and Ranger XII.Īt that time acoustic guitars only were a small part of eko range.
J-54 was a bolt-on neck and the j-56 was the 12 string version. Not much later it was replaced with the j-54 and j-56. It started all with a glued in neck version from around 1964 called the j-52. Close to 200.000 guitars were made in various names and versions. The eko rangers is the most successful European guitar ever. Today I want to talk a little bit more about Eko guitars, and especially the eko ranger series.
