Just revisited this thread and my Eko Ranger Six is coming out of the loft tomorrow, together with my Eros 12 string.

Just to throw some more fuel on the fire, my first proper electric guitar was an Eko Les Paul. Its the only one I've ever seen and I wish I'd never flogged it. Has anyone else seen one of these?

I bought it when the only other Les Paul copies were made by Avon and Shaftesbury.

Happy days. I had a Coloursound Fuzz/Wah, a Fuzz Face, a Vox AC30 and a Cry Baby Wah Wah Pedal.

I now scour the likes of E bay to try and get hold of the stuff I used to own in the sixties & seventies, like Kansas acoustics, (I paid £6.00 for my first one,) Top Twenty Electrics (£10.00)and my first Rosetti electric semi acoustic bass, which had an action like a Longbow.

Then again there was always the Watkins Rapier, available with two, three or four pickops. IN RED!
