2006 Eastwood Airline
| 2006
Eastwood Airline (Jetsons Model) I was personally handed this guitar by Michael Robinson, owner and founder of Eastwood Guitars, when I went to pick it up at his house in Canada. This
is a replica of a 1964 Jetson's style Airline Guitar. The original "Airlines"
were Res-O-Glass (fiberglass) guitars made by Valco during the 1960's
and were sold through Montgomery Ward's stores. The Airline guitars were
made famous by bluesmen like J.B. Hutto and more recently by Jack White
of the White Stripes. Original Airline guitars and extremely rare and
often play pretty horribly, if at all. The Eastwood Airline has classic
looks with modern playability and functionality. The mahogany body gives
the guitar the same warm sound as the original but with better tone, sustain,
and with an adjustable bridge (the original bridges were wood) to allow
for proper intonation. |
