I would love to buy this guitar. I had one in 1967 and as the music / bands progressed I traded it in for my 1st Les Paul. I would love to have this guitar back. Is this guitar for sale ?

I have the blue now faded to green solid body version of this. An interesting anomaly is when you select split pickups setting (bridge treble side and neck bridge side or bridge bass side and neck treble side) and then play the d or g strings and bend them, a volume drop occurs. I guess because the these strings get out of the magnetic field range of the pickup setting.

I have the same model from 1967 in cherry red , its a quirky guitar with a lovely sound and some outsanding features love the push and turn trem bar the split pick ups give you loads of options and the tone B M T switches give a lovely variation. It has a very slimline kneck and a slimline body that I think has tressle block inside as it does not feedback at high volume or with a bit of oversrive. It certainly gets attention. One drawback the case is awful to carry and cuts into your hands. Mine came with the original strap and strings after a tech set it all up it now plays like a dream a cross between a strat sound and a hollowbody. Surf sounds cool on it and rockabilly and on power blues it really growls. Having a 45 year old guitar Ive not taken it gigging yet as I worry about accidents as live music get guitars dings and accidents happen. However I will soon as I want to drive it hard live to find out its true sound full on, cant do that at home the Mrs would go totally mental! 🙂

My first impression was also that the Rangemaster was made probably made by EKO as the excellent finish and overall design reminds me of the “Beatle” bass guitar produced by Ecko in the late 60s and early 70s (The bass player in our South Florida 60s garage band; “The Kegs” had one). The unique design and hi-quality workmanship is evident, even by just examining the photographs.
Thanks for a great article.

Jack Walsh’s wonderfully informative Goya Guitars website (that I donated materials to) is incorrect on the provenance of this fine guitar being “the Polverini Brothers.” It was actually built by Zerosette of Italy, as seen from the tell-tale “dropped” f-holes:

The blond version is the signature guitar of Local Natives frontman Taylor Rice:

Thanks for posting the photos; it’s gorgeous! I’ve owned and restored several of these, and it’s so rare to see one with the finish in such great (uncracked) shape!

Those vintage guitars are works of art. Why I didn’t purchase one in the 60’s is a complete mystery to myself.
