Bought my first Vintage guitar

There’s a slightly long winded story to me buying this guitar. I’m not a fan of acoustic guitars generally; however one of my friend’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. I’ve never found one I like as much (and I’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 didn’t I do this years ago????)

These pics are from the auction I’ll post some better ones tomorrow

I can’t recommend these guitars highly enough... now that you won’t be going after the same one I want.

Beautiful sounding vintage guitars that don’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.

delicious

don't let it near me or it's bound to end up with a humbucker in it.
