This is my first Eastwood—although I've loved their designs for a while—and the setup is the best in my lineup. From the factory. The action is so tight and the neck is so smooth—it immediately became my favorite guitar to play. The sound is amazing—and this particular guitars mix of pickups—the passive hum buckers clean power to the active piezzo's charm—it's so much fun to adjust the tone—it can sound like anything. A machine or an acoustic instrument.

I'm a huge fan of Eastwood, Colin Newman, and guitars—but this exceeded my expectations, high as they were.

I love it. Completely.

Exceptional guitar, plays and sounds like a dream and provokes comment at every gig I play.

The ordering of the guitars was easy off of the site and they shipped quickly, UPS was a nightmare but that wasn't Eastwood's fault. I will reconsider making purchases online in the future that are shipped by UPS.

The guitars were well packaged and also surprisingly well set up. After a careful examination of both the 59 3p Ripley and the Pocket Bass they were flawless. My wife loves the versatility of the two pickups on the Pocket Bass as well as its small size. I have a Strat which I love to play but I don't love the sound of the overly bright bright singles coils. My new 59 3p plays as easily and comfortably as my strat but with more character. The Bigsby and roller bridge are really fun and it stays nicely in tune. The Tranwarp Drive boost is so cool to help it jump out of the mix for solos etc.

We have decent collection of quality guitars and our Eastwood Airlines have quickly become two of our favourites. I couldn't be happier with both the Airline Pocket Bass and my Airline 59 3p Ripley.

That's what I was looking for!
Awesome vintage sound, very comfortable guitar for playing.
And... Yes, It's perfect for playing White Stripes ;)

pleasantly surprised how smoothly the transaction was.

My son was obsessed with an original Airline H77. The problem is that they have play-ability issues with the bridge and tuners, along with the high frets. Eastwood's reproduction solves the feedback problem with the block inside and fixes the tuning and play-ability problems. My son is going to love this for XMas. Oh yeah, this shipped and was received with in two days of ordering. Amazing!

I had purchased the TDR TB64 with the Life Time Plus warranty which guaranteed a 80% trade-in value within 3 years to upgrade to another Eastwood instrument, since I wasn't sure I was going to like the Bass VI type instrument in the long term. As a primary electric guitar player, that instrument was useful in that I could play it like a guitar, but that ended up being the problem for me. I was too often tempted to play it like a lead guitar, rather than playing it like a bass. Still, I liked the shorter scale neck, so when I read a positive review of the Pocket Bass, decided to give it a shot. The trade-in experience was painless and quick. I really like the Pocket Bass. The quality is up a notch from the TB64, and the neck being only an inch longer than a Strat, it really feels good to me. It arrived with a lot of fret buzz, but the bridge was easy enough to adjust up to eliminate that. Plus the fact it uses a easy to find short scale string set will keep the cost down. The sound is good also, with good definition. For the environment I play it in (a school auditorium for church worship service), the best sound I found was the "scooped" setting, where I boost the lows and high on my amp and reduce the mids. I think this one is a keeper.

I love dealing with Eastwood Guitars, the website is easy to browse through, payment is painless, the prices are definitely worth it, the quality of Guitar is outstanding and to me, the customer service is exceptional.

I have two Eastwood Airline Guitars which I use for slide. An Airline Folkstar which I use mainly in France, and my new Airline H44Dlx which I just bought from a small music store in Clarksdale, Mississippi while on tour. Look for both of these guitars on my new album release in early 2019. I'm lovin' my Eastwoods! @ www.jimrobertsandtheresonants.com

Can't get enough of the Tuxedos

I just wanted to add a follow-up to my initial review. I'm still loving this Ripley Custom Airline guitar, but I did find it to be slightly too dark/warm sounding for my tastes. To remedy this, I first tried swapping out the .1uf tone capacitor for a .047uf but this wasn't much help since I was almost always playing with the tone knob adjusted to max treble. Next I swapped out the 25k audio taper volume and tone pots for 50k and that did the trick. To be clear, the guitar sounds great in stock form, but my preference is for brighter sounding guitars that can jangle and bite. I'm playing through an old 1970 Fender Musicmaster amp, which I incorrectly assumed would brighten up just about any guitar (since Fender amps have a reputation for being very bright). After the slight modifications I just described above, I'm very happy with the range of tones available. When the built-in preamp is switched on it does get noticeably brighter, so perhaps that's why the stock values were so warm/dark?

I purchased this on sale from Eastwood as a discontinued model. I am extremely happy with it. I was able to restring it to an 8-string ukulele and am now playing it as a rhythm instrument in the band. It has incredible sustain! If this was still available I would encourage other 8-string ukulelists to do the same! It not only sounds cool, but it also looks cool! The only downside is not having a custom hard case.

I love this thing! I changed 3 strings and the tuning so I can play an 8-string ukulele made from an Airline Mandola. It has incredible sustain! If it wasn't a discontinued model I would encourage other 8-string ukulele players to do the same!

Absolutely love this bass! Bass was my first instrument and I started on a nice, short-scale Royce. 15 years later after having gone through a number of basses, I wanted to get back where I started and then I found the Eastwood pocket bass. It's a joy to play because of its small size but primarily because it just sounds fantastic. With the piezo pickup in the bridge and the blender knob, you really get a nice variety of tones.

The pocket bass is a genuinely fun and great-sounding bass and I couldn't be happier with it. Thanks!

When the president of Eastwood guitars reached out to me personally, I knew that I wanted to be part of the Eastwood family!

My guitar arrived in Australia in good condition, but the neck wasn't right. Had to spend $400 on getting a new nut and 8 frets had to be re-pressed into the fret board as well as a complete setup. Eastwood paid for the repair job. Excellent customer service.

I purchased this Airline Twin Tone a few years back thinking I would use it as a practice and travel guitar. BOY WAS I WRONG! This a is great gigging guitar and excellent for slide. It is priced very reasonable and if you get one, spring for the hardshell case. The blue color is the best color for me. Since then I have purchased 3 lap steels, a Backlund Model 100, and preordered two (2) more yet to come. I LOVE THIS COMPANY!!!!!!
