The EKO Ranger 6 is a flat-top acoustic guitar from EKO, the Italian maker that became one of Europes largest guitar manufacturers through the 1960s, known for affordable instruments with distinctive sparkle finishes and unusual body shapes exported widely into the American market. The Ranger line was EKOs mainstream flat-top acoustic range aimed at the folk and pop guitar boom of that decade. It is associated in this catalogue with Jimmy Page, consistent with the eras common practice of session and touring guitarists picking up whatever reasonably priced acoustic was available.
The Martin D-28 is a dreadnought acoustic guitar renowned for warm, booming tone and excellent projection. Its spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides deliver rich bass and natural sustain. The D-28 remains the gold standard for professional singer-songwriters and folk musicians.
