I must admit that for probably not much more, you probably could have gotten a Harmony Sovereign or even a Gibson LG-1, a lot more bang for the buck. I rarely played it, but remember it as being very playable, and considering the low price alternatives in the 60s, not a bad axe for a beginner or impoverished musician. How do you feel about these guitars? The sound and the playability on these vintage ones? Any experience with EKO 6 strings as well? Obviously they exist and are out there, but since there are very few Eko instruments in North America to begin with (I don't think they were ever marketed in the US - if so, only very briefly,) One of my early musical partners had one, bought in the mid-60s, probably in Boston, so they were marketed here.
I didn't know they were so cheap and I was kinda shocked when I found out as well. I've tried an EKO 12 string and it was beautiful to play on, and the sound was very nice. So did Jimmy Page and a lot of other bands and artists.
Genesis played EKO 12 strings in the early 70s. I know they are really cheap, but they are also vintage? This is what I find interesting. So I've been wondering about these EKO guitars. › ▲▲▲ Eko Ranger Guitar Serial Numbersīut there were cheaper alternatives, like the Eko 995.
