Before that I had also played a friend's E-ROS 12-string, and although I wasn't aware of the similarities at the time, it was that guitar that made me want to go out and buy a 12-string acoustic in the first place. I myself used to have an Eko Ranger XII 12-string, and that was an excellent guitar. You have to admit that the two guitars are very similar, right down to the shape of the pickguard. Here, to illustrate my point, is an Eko Ranger VI guitar from the same era. I don't know the story, but would like to find out if anyone out there could fill in the blanks. Perhaps the two companies were related in someway, or both ranges were designed by the same person. So, you've got Italians copying Italians. If I didn't know better, I'd say that this was a copy of the Eko Ranger guitar from the same period. Which seems strangely familiar.Īctually the design of the instrument all seems very familiar. You might notice that, unusually for an acoustic guitar, this E-ROS has a bolt-on neck. They were in fact made from 1966 to 1970 by an Italian company called Fratelli Fuselli (Fuselli Brothers) headquartered in Recanati. This particular example is an E-ROS Model 606 Dakota which according to the seller dates to the 1970s. They seemed to be quite omnipresent in the late 70s and early 80s, as I recall. That's a name I haven't heard in many years.
