GUEST,Rick_in_OZ Eko Guitars (180* d) RE: Eko Guitars 04 Jan 05

I was interested to see a couple of people had Eko Navaho guitars. I picked up a second Navaho 6 from a guitar shop when travelling through Wales around 1976. I brought it back to Australia with me. It has been my constant acoustic companion since buying it. I had to re-glue where the top started separating from the side after my kids banged it into something. Recently I noticed the action getting a bit high. I unbolted the neck, inserted a crushed match-stick to tilt the neck and bolted it back together. The action is now superb, and the old beast still sounds great in spite of its mistreatment.

Eko's are rare in Australia. I have never seen another Navaho (six or twelve), and only once have seen a Ranger 6. I have never seen and electric Eko guitar or bass here either.

Maybe I need to hang with some Italian Australians?
