- Marco Polo MM is the guitar by Eko Guitars featuring Mahogany top, back, sides and neck, South American Roupana fingerboard and bridge. Thanks to its small size, 610mm scale lenght and 43mm fingerboard width at nut, the Marco Polo MM is the ideal traveler guitar for the musician always on the go.
- Eko Guitar Serial Number Lookup. By randianeti1970 Follow Public. Im looking for information regarding my EKO Rio Bravo 12 string acoustic. Recently I discovered a file folder on my backup drive with TONS of photos containing just about every guitar Id.
- 1967 Eko Ranger 6 acoustic guitar - Superb condition. This guitar is from the late 60's made by the famous Italian company Eko. What makes this guitar so rare is it was made the year the founder of Eko Guitars, Oliviero Pigini, passed away and after his death the company slowed and halted production of many of their guitars.
US11 means 2011. The remaining digits are important for product identification, but the first few characters are all you need to determine the instruments age. Serial number coding for Mexican-made instruments is largely the same, except they will start with an M. MN2 for 1992 in Mexico.
It's a real shame that this EKO ranger was obviously dropped at some point - but the chips and crack don't seem to penetrate the wood - just the super thick finish. Still a good deal for an old EKO Ranger with a nice hard case. There are lots of very large pics on the listing if you link through to it.*************************************

Guitars[edit]
Their products include classical guitars, 12-string guitars, arch top guitars, electric guitars and acoustic bass guitars.
Eko guitars gained high popularity during the rock'n'roll craze of the 1960s, becoming the largest guitar exporter in Europe. Their electric models were often highly ornamented with pearl, featured 3 or 4 pickups and recognizable 'rocker' switches for pickup selection. The acoustic models were popular in country and folk rock bands of the late '60s. The best-known models of the '60s include:
- Eko 400 Ekomaster (Fender Jaguar shape with flat-top, Hagström-style control panel),
- Eko 500 (Fender Jaguar lookalike),
- Eko 700 (original triple-cutaway design with 'hockey stick' head),
- Eko 290 (also known as Eko Barracuda, semi-hollow flat-top electric),
- Eko Rokes (rocket-shaped electric, made popular by an Italian pop band of the same name, The Rokes)
- Eko Kadett ('67 original double cutaway with characteristic long 'horns') and
- Eko Ranger (the best-selling Eko product, acoustic in 6 and 12-string version).
- Eko 995 (violin bodied 4 string bass wildly popular in the late 60's)
Eko also produced guitars for Vox in the '60s, in the USA they were distributed through LoDuca brothers of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
In the UK the instruments were imported by Rose-Morris, London.
