Interestin' to read all these Eko ramblin's... I still have my Ranger 6 that I bought new in the '70's... black headstock, concentric ring rosette... it has a superb action and never goes out of tune ( 10 gauge set, phosphor bronze D'Adario's )
I affectionately call her 'the old clunker' and she sits in the corner of the office and gets picked up a dozen times a day.
The Eko lacks volume in comparison to my big Yamaha acoustic and Tanglewood electro-acoustic... though I always wondered how good it would be if the quarter inch thick laquer was removed so the wood could breath!
I have a matching 12 string body and all the bits, but no neck... anybody got one they wanna sell me?
