Bought my first Vintage guitar

Thereâ€™s a slightly long winded story to me buying this guitar. Iâ€™m not a fan of acoustic guitars generally; however one of my friendâ€™s fathers has a 196? Eko ranger 6 (bolt on neck heavy as a planet) and one day back in the mists of time I was given a loan of said guitar for a night and it has spoiled my view of all other acoustic guitar since. Iâ€™ve never found one I like as much (and Iâ€™ve tried hundreds) so I never bought myself a "good" acoustic. Then last month I got another loan of said Ranger 6 and decided I had to get one and after a month of trying to find a good one here it is... (why didnâ€™t I do this years ago????)

These pics are from the auction Iâ€™ll post some better ones tomorrow

I canâ€™t recommend these guitars highly enough... now that you wonâ€™t be going after the same one I want.

Beautiful sounding vintage guitars that donâ€™t cost as much as a house.

I recently sold an Eko Ranger 12 string to a guy in Belgium. I had had it for years and it needed work...it wasn't until I googled it that I realised Jimmy Page played one and the one I was selling was from the mid-60s...they're very nice guitars, although the one I had needed extensive work.

Aye... Page was the reason my mate's dad bought the one he has.
