Vintage Eko Ranger 12 string Electra Made in Italy 60/70's fab

  

A PRETTY RARE AND DESIRABLE EKO RANGER 12 ELECTRA. THIS IS THE EARLY MODEL DATING FROM THE 1960s /70s, WITH THE SCROLL INNER LABEL AND THE BUBBLE LIKE EKO BADGE ON THE HEADSTOCK.

THIS IS THE SAME MODEL JIMMY PAGE FAMOUSLY PLAYED ON THE LED ZEPPELIN TOUR OF AUSTRALIA, SO GREAT IF YOU ARE A ZEP HEAD AND ABOUT THE BEST VALUE PERIOD GUITAR PLAYED BY THE GREAT MAN! LIKE ALL THE OLD EKOS IT PLAYS GREAT, THE ACTION IS GOOD, AND ADJUSTABLE, AND THE GUITAR IS BUILT LIKE A TANK. AS IS NEARLY ALWAYS THE CASE, THE NECK IS DEAD STRAIGHT. THESE OLD EKOS ARE REALLY EASY TO PLAY FOR 12 STRINGS, AND ARE OFTEN USED FOR WRITING SONGS ON, DUE TO THEIR GREAT PLAYABILITY.

THE NECKS BOLT ON AND OFF ON EKO RANGERS. IT HAS THE USUAL EKO LACQUER CRACKS THAT IS COMMON ON SO MANY OF THESE. THE LACQUER EKO APPLIED WAS SO THICK IT ENDED UP CRACKING EVENTUALLY. HOWEVER IT DID A GREAT JOB OF PROTECTING THEM AND DOES NOT EFFECT THE GUITAR OTHER THAN COSMETIC. I LIKE THE AGED LOOK MYSELF, ALTHOUGH SOME PEOPLE DO REFINISH THEM. ORIGINAL IS BEST FOR ME! THESE GUITARS REALLY ARE STALWARTS OF THE INDUSTRY. JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY HAS PLAYED ONE, AND THEY ARE A REALLY RELIABLE WORKING GUITAR. TREAT YOURSELF TO A BIT OF HISTORY AND OWN A LEGEND!
