OVERVIEW OF THE RANGER 6 BROWN SUNBURST VISUAL NOTE BY EKO GUITARS

Visual Note is a device consisting of an LED strip and a control unit to be applied directly to the guitar's fretboard (electric, acoustic, classical) and an APP capable of managing all its functions. Visual Note is primarily aimed at guitar students and teachers, providing all the necessary tools for both learning and teaching. This system allows you to learn guitar independently, wherever, whenever, and however you want, by following the guide lights directly on the guitar's fretboard and the reference audio. If you are a teacher, you can assign exercises, scales, arpeggios, and songs (via the APP) that the student will instantly visualize and follow on their fretboard. A super interactive, direct, engaging teaching and learning method, 2.0 education.

The Eko Ranger 6 features the classic Dreadnought shape with a Spruce top and Linden back and sides. The neck is Okoume with a 20-fret South American Roupana fretboard, and a plastic nut and saddle. "Ranger" is undoubtedly the word that resonates most in Eko's history and has contributed to establishing it as a European brand. Originally named J-52, this guitar has been updated and improved over time, leading to the J-54 (6-string) and J-56 (12-string) versions, which were renamed Ranger VI and Ranger XII respectively in 1967. Famous for their excellent value for money and indestructibility, they are still present today in many guitarists' homes, perhaps in a corner of the living room as a decorative item. Perfect for those taking their first step into the world of acoustic guitar, it is available in several color variations: Natural, Black, Blue Sunburst, Brown Sunburst, and Red Sunburst.
