Ranger VR XII, the re birth of an iconic classic guitar.
The first edition of this guitar goes back to 1962 when EKO decided on producing a series of folk guitars based on the popular dreadnought shape, very much in fashion in the U.S. at the time. The first 12 String known as J56 quickly became the best-selling 12-string guitar on the market.
To respond to the demand of the many aficionados, EKO is now continuing the tradition of the Ranger by introducing this Vintage Reissue version, still preserving all of the main features of the original model like the Bolt-On neck and the adjustable aluminum bridge saddle, the zero-fret and the square dots. Technically improved, still maintaining the same combination of natural mahogany back and sides with the reinforced spruce top. Visually retro fitted with the stylish newly designed bridge and the revised pick guard that maintains the typical shape as in the past.
“The RANGER is the guitar that very well represents the history of Eko. A guitar that has been very important in the past, continues to be very important today and will surely become more important in the future of Eko. For this relationship between past and future this section of the catalog is associated with the number 5... a number that looks with equal intensity in two different directions. With the RANGER VR (Vintage Reissue) we bring to new life the most beautiful and interesting features used in the past, all combined together in this instrument that we offer now, after 55 years, in a new different colour, as if this guitar is a real vintage.
The RANGER is the guitar that very well represents the history of Eko. A guitar that has been very important in the past, continues to be very important today and will surely become more important in the future of Eko.”
