I picked up a damaged Eko J-54 on e-bay for $68.00 . This is the same as a Ranger VI Electra. It was made in 1969 with the factory fingerboard pickup. I wanted a fixer upper that I could use as a campfire guitar and I spent a few hours over the past couple of weeks repairing it. Yesterday I put the strings on her and got the neck set. (easy with an Eko) I was very surprised at how well she sounded both plugged and unplugged. The heavy thick neck takes some getting used to but I find myself falling in love with her.
