The Eko Ranger series of guitars was incredibly popular in the second half of the 1960s and through the 1970s, selling in very large numbers. The Ranger Folk was 1 1/4' smaller, and 1' shallower than the Ranger VI and XII - and with a narrower waist. Not a bad guitar; a little quiet, but pretty playable.

Note for guitars without a serial number
Up to 1977 there was just a label inside the guitar with the last two digits of the year in the bottom right hand corner (see example on the right).
If you wish to know more about your guitar, please include a photo and any specific questions you may have through Customer Service.
Where do I find my serial number?
Your guitar's serial number is found inside the sound hole and up sharply towards the neck block (see example on the right).
First generation 03 Series serial numbers may also be ink stamped on a white label.
If your serial number has 2 lines of numbers please enter only the bottom row to the lookup form below. The first line of numbers is your model number.
