Hello all
Hope this finds everyone safe and well.
I'm seeking advice about a guitar, an Eko Ranger 6, from possibly '85 or '86, that belonged my my late father and has quietly sat gathering dust.
I'm not much of a guitar player (I can barely call myself a mandolin picker these days) so I'd like to sell it on to someone who can really appreciate it. Idly I once toyed with the idea of a) learning to flatpick b) converting to a mandocello/bouzouki sort of arrangement. But this looks too fine an instrument for an indifferent picker like myself and the least said about my handicraft skills the better...
So, I'm uncertain of its value and would welcome thoughts. Whilst I would trouble a local music shop, there's none nearby. I've noted a few similar models being offered at £400 but I have no idea if that's realistic.
So far as I can deduce...
Spruce top, flamed ?maple back/sides, mahogany neck, enclosed tuners (wondering if dad swapped them for Goto's). Label, handily in Italian, denotes it was made in Italy and is a D50. Neck straight, no buzzing when strummed etc.
No dings, very little in the way of fret wear and one light cosmetic blemish to the finish on the rear.
Comments? Ideas?
