At one time I had both an Eko 6 and a 12-string. Agree with most of what's said above - heavy, not a particularly good tone or action but practically bullet-proof. The 12 I sold on for not a lot of money, but the 6 lived with me for many years until I accidentally killed it - the fingerboard fell off and I unthinkingly used superglue to stick it back on with. This instantly wrecked the tone and volume of sound to the point at which I had to buy another guitar immediately to replace it. I sold the Eko in a garage sale here in Belgium and have never seen it since. Ah me - another memory sparked off by 'cattin'!
