Re: EKO guitars
Just found this site. Can't give you much on your guitar, but I have an EKO 6 string I bought in 1973. It's jet black, dreadnought shape and full with a very full sound, weghs a ton too!Never seen one since, anyone have any ideas on it? it looks very 'high end' in the EKO range. Has lots of design in gold pearl effect on head stock, pearl fret markers and double scratchplates.

Re: EKO guitars
i aiso have an Eko that matches your description black double scratchplates ,gold hardware white bindings and M.O.P. fret markers.i paid £120 for it in 1973 and it still plays beautifully !!.Eko was an Italian made guitar the more common acoustic was the Ranger which I believe was made in various guises and finishes.as far as I am aware it started with a Series 1 and went up to a Series 6.I also own a Ranger 6 which I bought at an autojumble at Newark recently.This one is blonde with a mahogony ? upside down bridge .The bridge "bone" is fully adjustable enabling the action to be adjusted with great accuracy and thus makes the guitar very "playable" I think they are one of the best medium priced guitars ever produced,much better than any Fender,of an equivalent price.

Re: EKO guitars
i recently bought a eko 12 string electric acoustic. model no. j.56/1. my guitar seems to have curly maple not mahoughny on the backside. this guitar need some work done to it. right where the bridge is glued on the face, it is lifting. this lifting is warping the face. any suggestions on how to repair this. i don't mind spending a few dollars because i only paid 100.00 dollars for it.
