The Ranger model is a true classic from the Italian manufacturer Eko, which marked the 1960s and 1970s with its unmistakable lines. This electroacoustic version, equipped with a preamp and featuring a cutaway to provide easy access to the upper frets, is ideal for any guitarist looking for an accessible, robust, and amplifiable guitar to play in a band or on stage.
Once upon a time in Eastern Italy...
The Ranger is clearly one of those guitars with a unique reputation, whose lines every guitarist has seen at some point in their life. This true legend was born in the 1960s in Eko’s workshops in Italy, where it was successively named J-52, then J-54, before becoming the Ranger VI we all know. Renowned for their unbeatable robustness and simply exceptional value for money, the Ranger VI guitars have left their mark in guitar history with their characteristic mustache-shaped pickguard.
...A reliable six-string for every budget.
The Ranger 6 Cutaway EQ is a folk electroacoustic guitar in Dreadnought format, also called Western, with a large and deep body that produces generous bass, powerful mids, and smooth highs. The spruce top, which brings precision and clarity, is complemented by a basswood back and sides, a sturdy wood offering good sustain and excellent durability. The glued birch neck, with its C-shaped profile, provides excellent playing comfort for all hands and features a double-action truss rod, allowing you to adjust the action precisely to your needs.
Ergonomic and amplifiable.
This Ranger Cutaway EQ features a more ergonomic profile than the traditional Dreadnought format thanks to its cutaway, allowing very easy access to the upper frets without sacrificing the instrument’s projection. The built-in Eko SE-30 preamp includes volume control, 3-band EQ, a phase inverter to cancel possible feedback, and an integrated tuner to make your life easier.
And for a few more guitars!
The Ranger VI is probably one of the most diversified models in Eko’s acoustic guitar catalog. Available in many different colors, it also exists in 12-string versions, electroacoustic (EQ), electroacoustic with cutaway (CW EQ), or in a Vintage Reissue (VR) edition that features the characteristics of the original Rangers, such as a bolt-on neck or an aluminum zero fret. Whatever your style, there will be a Ranger 6 to suit you!
The Ranger 6 Cutaway EQ Natural is, in short, a modern Western-format electroacoustic guitar, reliable and powerful, accessible to all budgets, perfect for beginners wanting to enter the world of guitar, or for seasoned guitarists looking for a guitar to play in a band or on stage, with an unmistakable style.
