Description
Eko Guitars continues the tradition of the famous Ranger with the Vintage Reissue line that re-proposes several features of the original models, such as the bolt-on neck, adjustable aluminium saddle, zero-fret and rectangular dots. Technically improved, the new Ranger VI VR retains the same combination of woods, with Mahogany for the sides and back and Spruce for the top. The onboard preamplifier is the Fishman Sonitone: the system controls the electric piezo and offers volume and tone controls. A retro look, thanks to the revised pickguard that retains the typical shape of the past. The first edition of this guitar takes us back to 1962 when Eko decided to produce a series of folk guitars based on the popular Dreadnought shape, very fashionable in America at the time. The first 6-string guitar was named J54 and was an immediate success in terms of playability and price. Available in colours: Natural Top Stained, Honey Burst.
