C-flat	Solid top guitars (67* d)	RE: Solid top guitars	24 Dec 10
"All of the 1960's Eko guitars - including the 6 and 12 string 'Rangers' were built from ply and they are becoming collectors items. They had bolt on necks, too." That may be so Ian, but it cannot be denied that they lack in sound projection. You could beat the crap out of them for years and they just soak it up, but you'll never get a decent tone from one. Just too much plywood and bracings. I speak as a former owner with a very soft sentimental affection for Eko Rangers, first love and all that, but, apart from durability that's it! Nor are they collectable other than in the sense of sentmental value. £200 would be a heck of a lot to pay for one.
