First, I have to say that the people in UK delivery center were very nice and helping about my shipment.
I love the design of your guitars, but I also discovered that the map baritone I ordered is not meeting my expectation in terms of making quality. Cheap knobs and selector materials, poor electrostatic protection (with some buzz when plugged in an amp)... the image I had of the quality in Eastwood just stepped down. It is a shame because I like really much your designs and approach, but for 1000€ it deserves at least the same quality than an epiphone or squier instrument. Which is not the case, sadly.
I hope you will improve your quality targets in the future. Perhaps the deluxe model (as shown in videos with the bigsby) was better quality, sadly it is not for sale anymore...

Fast delivery, beautiful guitar, nice action, great finish, neck smooth as glass. Totally satisfied.

This guitar is one of my favorites. It exceeded my expectations in very way. The tone, the playability and the appearance are all top quality. This guitar is always noticed at every gig.

I put an Airline H44 DLX into my cart at the time of the Black Friday sale at Eastwood Guitars. Later, I hesitated and removed the item. After rethinking, I decided that I wanted it after all but the sale was over. In my correspondence with Mike Robinson, the President of Eastwood, he must have felt sorry for me and offered to extend the sale deadline. My dealings with Eastwood could not have been better and I now have a very cool, unique and great sounding guitar that is the envy of the other musicians in my area.

I love the playability and the sound of this guitar, and it looks amazing. Thanks for a great instrument!

My only quibble is that the neck pickup is considerably louder than the bridge pickup. While it's possible to compensate for this by turning down the volume control for the neck pickup, that shouldn't be necessary. Both pickups should be equally loud with both volume pots turned all the way up, shouldn't they? Anyway it's a minor quibble. Overall I'm very pleased with this guitar. It's so much fun to play it!

Hi I'm Klaus and I play a Airline Tuxedo. I like the sound of the sealed hollowbody and the P90 Puckups.
The Price is awesome for that Sound you get from this guitar. I play Blues/Alternative and It fits perfectly.

Just purchased my fourth Airline, an H78. Excellent guitar!

Being a left handed musician it's always difficult to find great guitars but that's changed since I've found Eastwood Guitars. They are all great!

Just purchased my fourth Airline, an H78. Excellent guitar!

I'll start off by confessing, I bought my first Eastwood Guitar last year, an Airline Map DLX, because of its novel appearance. Having a good degree of Luthier skills and tools, I knew I would be able to make, what I mistakenly thought was a "Gimmick" guitar, playable, no matter how it came from the factory.
I own "Pauls", "Strats", "Rics", and "BCs". I know a great guitar when I play it. I was knocked out by not only the construction, fit and finish, but also the careful set up done by Eastwood. It didn't need any adjustment at all!
Ever since, I've had my eye on their Airline 59 3P DLX, but didn't care for the available colors. When Mike came out with it in Gorgeously Gaudy Gold Sparkle, I had to have it. Eastwood was running a discount sale, and I pulled the trigger on a Backlund 100 in Metallic Red as well.
I could not be more impressed with both guitars; same great construction fit and finish as before. The 59 3P DLX has a great P90 sound, and the Backlund has some really unique tones. The Backlund's neck blade style single coil, (with it's bass side angled closer to the neck), has some serious "Thump". I was shocked, when it arrived, to find out that it is a SET NECK guitar. None of the pictures show the neck/heel joint, nor do they mention this feature on the web site!?? At that price point...astounding!

You might buy an Eastwood guitar for its unusual looks, but you will keep picking it up to play it because of its incredible action.

Eastwood's guitars are "Unconventionally Convectional" They may look crazy as hell, but they play as good or better than anything on the market. Buy one...You will love it.

I got the guitar quickly and it's the best one I have

This is a follow-up to my previous review.

I meant to say the Les Trem required NO drilling. It works just fine, tho' I think I prefer the Bigsby when there's a choice, even tho' it would require drilling a hole or two.

On a personal note, one thing I'd like to see on guitars with the 2-volume 2-tone control set-up: a master volume control, like many Gretsch guitars have.

This is one cool guitar. The deep Burgundy Burst is classy, the inlays and appointments done very, very well. It is a little larger than I expected, very nice lines. I already ordered some White Pearl tuner buttons to go with the Inlays and Guard. You were going for the look of a guitar that could have been done years ago and you nailed it.

Fully hollow with a great vibe. Nice "airy" sound that's very full. Great work, Eastwood! I might need another one day in a different color.

This guitar will be put to use right away in my Rockabilly/Swing/Surf Band. It'll fit right in.

An old guy, not a professional musician, and a mediocre guitar player on my best day, I bought my first Eastwood, a black Twin Tone, back in '08. Loved the look, especially the two-tone pickguard, but wanted an all-black instrument, so I went to quite a bit of trouble to persuade my Eastwood dealer to swap the black pickguard from a white Twin Tone he had in stock onto my black one, and in the process transfer the white pickguard that came with my black one to the white Twin Tone he had in stock. Killer look!!



Also killer sound and tone. Loved how it sounded through my amp(s).



Alas, my first Twin Tone came with a misaligned neck. Rather than mess with it, Mike sent me a new Twin Tone, and with the black pickguard installed!! Big points for that!



Further alas, once it was properly set up, I didn't really like playing it. I was used to playing soft-triangle Ovation necks, and the Twin Tone's neck never felt comfortable to me. Beyond that, like many solid-bodies, it was heavy. Too heavy for me to be comfortable with it. I gave it to my grand-nephew, who's a better player than I.



I still love the way it looks and the way it sounded, but sure wish Eastwood would publish weight along with other guitar specs on the website.

I had issues with quality control and weight with my first Eastwood, but thought I'd give Mike and the lads another try with a Bighorn (mine was in black, not offered at the moment). Quality was better, as it should have been, several years after my initial Twin Tone purchase. Mine is a "blem," but I needed a magnifying glass to find the paint flaw, and I didn't find any other appearance issues. Other issues, however, remain.



I really like the style and look of the vintage reproductions that Eastwood offers, whether Airline or other labels, but I still think the solid-bodies are too heavy for their size, and I'm still not a fan of the necks on these guitars. Plenty smooth enough, but I'm just not comfortable playing them.



That said, like the Twin Tone, the Bighorn looks cool, and has killer tone through my amp(s).



Now I'm saving my pennies for a Tuxedo, which seems to be the model that combines looks, tone and light weight the best. It's also a little bit expensive for an old retired guy, and I'm not willing to make payments on an instrument when I play strictly as a hobby. So, penny-saving it is��_

I am THRILLED with my new (lefty) Airline Mercury. The chambered body makes it light, and the neck has just the right amount of chunkiness. Very cool sounds out of the P90s. I've mounted a Duesenberg Les Trem on it, so now drilling needed. Excellent job, Mike and associates!

I bought one for my 1964 airline H46 It looks like the one that came with it when it was shipped from Montgomery wards 53years a go

This recent purchase just adds to my very much loved collection of Eastwood guitars. First one I got was the Airline 59 2P Deluxe . Sooo personal in a good way. Then I got a Twin Tone (I managed to get an original Suppro logo and put it in the head). Good purchase. From that point I knew I could not stop. My wife also did L. Next, it was the Classic 12 string (which I used extensively in my latest recordings to the enjoyment of everybody). Then I got the Airline Map Deluxe which I love to bits. And now this Backlund��_ I keep on checking FeDex every five minutes��_ it���s got to be here for Christmas��_



All in all, congratulations for making good (sometimes impressively good) guitars, original, different. No limits��_



Keep on rockin��!!
