Eko Ranger Guitar Serial Numbers
While in the military and stationed in Naples, Italy in 1969, my wife bought a new, EKO Ranger XII as a gift to me. As many have mentioned, it was built like a tank and very heavy.
My wife's parents are Italian and when we returned to the States in 1972, her father fell in love with the 'Italian 12 string' that I brought home. After conferring with my wife, I gave it to him.
In 1974 his house was hit by lightning and pretty much destroyed in a major fire. The house was gutted by the fire and further damaged by the
water poured into it by the firefighters.
Fast forward to 2008:
When I decided to open 'Re-Tunes' my father-in-law donated a couple of old guitars he had. Much to my surprise, as I opened an odd, dirty looking case, there was the EKO Ranger XII. I had completely forgotten about it, assuming it had been destroyed in the fire.
The top had several finish cracks, but the wood was still solid.
The huge pickguard had curled from the heat of the fire, but was still
attached to the guitar in a couple of places. I picked it up and strummed it. It had not been touched in 34 years and was still almost in tune and other than the finish cracks, it was structurally solid and very playable.
I have a 'Encyclopedia of Guitars' at the shop that features some of the notable guitars built over the years by all manufacturers. The EKO Ranger XII is included and, although not particularly valuable, has developed a following in the collector's circles.
I cleaned it up, re-strung it, and it was a nice playing and decent sounding 12 string. I offered it for sale and sure enough, a collector of EKO guitars snatched it up, impressed with the story behind it and how it survived the fire.
Tough guitars.

Aug 08, 2011 My first two acoustics were an Eko ranger 12 and an Eko Rio Bravo 6 string. The Rio Bravo being the higher level guitar of the two. Both sounded nice and were great to work on; bolt on neck, adjustable bridge, etc etc. Guitar serial number lookup Eko j54 Ranger serial guitar serial number lookup Eko j54 Ranger serial number 328 - Motorcycles question. What year was my EKO Guitar, Ranger 6 Serial No722637 built? - Music question. Eko is an Italian manufacturer of electric guitars, acoustic guitars and similar instruments, catering to professional level and manufacturing largely for export. It is located in Recanati, Marche.
