I read about the odd spacing on another forum.UlricvonCatalyst wrote:They did make other 12-string models too, so some of the pics you've seen may be of those. I found this out the hard way after sending a set of tuners to an Australian guy restoring a Ranger XII as the spacing was completely different and they didn't fit.PorkyPrimeCut wrote:For the record, I've a feeling mine (and the one pictured here) is a 2nd version J56. There are plenty of images floating around of early 12-strings (and 6-strings) with a plain black painted headstock & a simple white painted EKO logo. They're also listed as having ebony fretboards & simpler dot fret markers.
I'm pretty fortunate that the seller found tuners that matched. Well, he said he did.
I've not checked underneath for extra holes but I'm assuming he got the ones I pictured further up in the thread.
