It was 1978 when I bought my first guitar and guess what? It was an EKO RIO BRAVO 6. I never rated it because my friends had better guitars. It was only through the years that I discovered that it was a better model than the RANGER with a non-detachable neck. In fact it was hand made in the Research and Development dept in the EKO factory not on the production line.

Alot of information can be found at Fetish Guitars dot com website on Mr Pigini, founder of EKO as well as alot of links to collectors and pictures of instruments of the era. As a rule only the guitars made upto 1981 are collectable. Once you become familiarised with the pictures and shapes on that website you can spot straightaway just by the scratchplate which model it is as for the year it was made pre 1966 have a number not a name for the model (ie.

J54 became the ranger),in 1967 the doubleT truss rod was patented(you can spot it at the end of the neck through the sound hole), 1970's guitars have a different label and rosette from the 1980's onwards and so on. The best folk models ever made are the Eldorado, followed by the Rio Bravo.
