The Eko Ranger is an Acoustic Guitar used by Bob Marley.
The Eko Ranger guitar series began in late 1964 with the J-52, which had a glued-in neck, and was soon followed by the J-54 with a bolt-on neck and the J-56, a twelve-string version. By early 1967, these models were renamed Ranger VI and Ranger XII. As Eko faced increased competition in the electric guitar market, the company refocused on acoustic guitars in the 1970s, with the Ranger series becoming central to their lineup. The series saw two main generations, with a notable transition around 1973: earlier models featured ornate designs and a stenciled rosette, while post-1973 Rangers had a thinner polyester finish and improved bracing.
