- The best guitar I've had from EKO, a Ranger V reissue series guitar. Nice chimney sound and decent electronics. See what you think...

Always enjoy your reviews and this was no exception. After hearing what you had to say and listening to the sound bites, I decided to get one. It arrived yesterday, and was not disappointed. Whenever I get the urge to buy another guitar, I search CZcams in hopes that you have done a review of it. There are only a handful of reviewers out there that I trust, and you my friend, are one of them. Keep up the good work.
Glad to hear it helped you. I'll keep reviewing them if you keep checking in!
I own a Eko Ranger VI bought in 1972 for £70.00, the adjustable bridge was the selling point for me Its been my every day guitar would not part with it. Been thinking about buying a Eko electro accoustic thank you for a honest review food for thought
It's a different company now as the newer ones are a reboot and made in Asia. Some models are better than others in my experience.
It's actually a really well made European copy of a Gibson J-160E used famously by the Beatles.
Great info - it certainly was one of the better EKO guitars I've set up.
I have an Older Eros 606,made in the old EKO factory in Italy. I have a little EKO Colorado parlor to. It's a French polished beauty but it's undergoing a bit of tlc at the moment. Thanks for sharing friend.
Some of the older Ekos are really nice - the reboots are interesting too.
In Europe, you can get those for around 250 €, so a lot cheaper than in the US. I got the Eko Ranger 12 string, and it is a real tank of a guitar! I can make a lot of noise with it :)
Yes, I would imagine they are easier and cheaper to get in Europe.
My Blueridge that I bought from you has really grown on me and I find myself playing it more than I do my Taylor. That Echo really does have a bright sound.
I play my Blueridge guitars more than any others too.
Yamaha FG-300 (made in Japan in early 1970s) had individual adjustable saddles.
Yes, some of the older yammies had them.

Have one indeed, can confirm it. 🤔
I think you're going a bit far comparing that half a ton of plywood with the Masterbilt Dr 500 series as the Dr 500 is solid wood not cheap wop ply and if you take the neck off you'll find that the sound oard of the Eko is in fact plywood and not solid as you seem to think
Some of the upper echelon Ekos are solid top - it's all subjective - but yes, the Masterbilts are superior.
I just picked up a very similar Eko Ranger to this, with the same adjustable saddle. It's at its very lowest but I'd like to try and get it a little lower if possible. I assumed both the adjustable mech and the bone (?) saddle itself might just come out easily when I took the strings off and gave it a delicate pull, but no - the whole assembly seems pretty wedged in. The adjustment screws turn OK and can raise the saddle up, so it doesnt feel like its been glued in place - maybe I just need to apply more brute force and ignorance. But thought I'd ask here if anyone has any experience with these.. thanks David
I've had to pry them out before - hope you got it sorted.
Hi, i'm thinkin of gettin one of these and i wanted to ask you if it's neck heavy? also how much wood grain is visible on the top? on many pictures of this guitar it looks very glossy and orange.
I no longer have it but don't remember it being neck heavy. It had decent spruce grain on the top too.
I have a really old Ranger; it has the name Eko printed in script, rather then "EKO" like yours. The label inside has no year or serial number - is this because it is from the first year of production?
Yes, the new Rangers are a reboot Eko and differently built than the old ones. Some of the old ones are quite desirable.
