EKO Ranger XII - 12-string Dreadnought – Made in Italy An original EKO Ranger 12 is offered, a distinctive 12-string acoustic guitar, built in Recanati, Italy. The Ranger XII is among the most iconic European acoustic guitars and was produced from 1967 as the successor to the J-56. With hundreds of thousands of units produced, the Ranger grew into one of the most successful European guitar models ever. This guitar is in beautiful, original condition and is fitted with the original bridge pins. As with many vintage EKO Rangers, the well-known 'crackle' (craquelé) is visible in the lacquer and veneer in a few spots. This is a common phenomenon with these models due to the thick finish used at the time and is regarded by collectors as a normal sign of age. The craquelé is purely cosmetic and contributes to the authentic vintage look. Straight neck and easy to play. The Ranger XII is known for its sturdy construction, distinctive large pickguard, and bright, full 12-string tone. Thanks to the solid build, these guitars remain loved by musicians and collectors after decades.
