Incidentally this is one of the great advantages of the "awful" Ekos - they're not, in fact - because the neck is bolt-on you can always fix problems like that. Unless the top has warped they can always be set up well.

Well, I took delivery of the Fender Villager and I must say, I'm really impressed. It's quite a narrow fingerboard (for me, anyway) but it plays really well and actually sounds pretty good amplified too. It's certainly an improvement on the EKO I played a number of years ago, although to be fair it had been abused and was rather humped, had old strings on it and an action about half an inch high so it's not really an open-book comparison and I certainly wouldn't have been adept enough to try and resolve some of the issues it had or even understand them for that matter.
I've got this one on loan for a while, so can really immerse myself in 12 String playing before taking the plunge on a guitar. I am really enjoying playing it and (if there is such a thing) find myself to be a more natural and intuitive 12 string player than I feel on 6 strings- strange.
Thanks to everyone for their advice and guidance.
