There are surprisingly many E-Ros guitars around. They were made from 1966 to 1970 by a company of which very little is known other than it was called Fratelli Fuselli (Fuselli Brothers) and headquartered in Recanati.

As far as we know F.lli Fuselli has built mostly dreadnought sized flat top acoustic guitars. All have same dimensions with little variation in the appointments. They were available with six strings under the name 606 Dakota or 606 Arizona, with twelve strings as 612 Nevada or simply 612, some were factory fitted with an electromagnetic pickup and called 606-E or 612-E.

Half of them have a bolt-on neck favoured by most guitar'sts (JimmyPage) as they were great to set-up and achieve a very low action if needs be.
Headstock is generally covered with a layer of black celluloid sporting a white E-Ros logo, though a minority have a natural mahogany headstock.

All are strikingly similar to the very first generation of the Eko Ranger series and more exactly to its forerunners J-54 and J-56 introduced in 1965: same five-piece neck construction, same rectangular neck attachment plate and generally only 20 frets (for its post-1967 Ranger VI and XII series Eko used a 3-piece neck construction with 21 frets as well as its distinctive trapeze neck plate).
This guitar has had a full set-up restrung with 12 gauge strings.
