Likewise one of my first serious guitars was an EKO Ranger 12, which I used as a six string. It had a fabulous neck and action, which, after playing a £5 mongrel "spanish" thing, helped me improve a lot. I bought it back in about 1971 off my old mate John Norton, who taught me to play fingerstyle, and sold it to a guy with long blonde hair who use it as a 12-string to play David Bowie stuff. And, yes, it was heavy!
