The guitar is every thing I was hoping for. I have the red one and I must say it's the best red I've seen on a guitar. When I plugged it in to my fender twin amp and started playing I coudln't put it down. Whether you are playing surf, blues or rock, the pickups are amazing, very versatile . It has a lovely chunky neck and perfect playability and intonation. I'm an owner of Gibson and Fender guitars and this is up there with them. I love this guitar and hope to be purchasing more Eastwood Airline guitars as soon as I can. Great service as well.

Yes, it's a big neck guitar. Sustain for days. Meaty sound. I don't know if John Lee Hooker ever had a Stratotone, but he would have loved this version of it. I'm making myself put it down to write this review before going to bed.

I have been looking to get a semi-hollow guitar for a really long time. Initially I was looking at some Gibson models but they were way out of my price range. After a lot of research I came across this H77. It is absolutely beautiful in person! For the price I really don't think you could find better value. It sounds amazing and has a lot of versatility. Go to the store and try it yourself!

I never write reviews because I'm selfish and ungrateful, but I had to in this instance because this guitar is so gotdamn gorgeous. Not only does it induce semis with its looks alone, it purrs like a young Jennifer Aniston whispering "I love you" the next morning. You won't regret buying this guitar.

I've got guitars that are double the price of this thing and this guitar holds up as well or better. This is the nicest next of the dozen or so guitars I own. Beautiful finish. Has to be seen in real life. I will definitely be buying another Eastwood!

I just received my H-78 about a week ago and I haven't put it down since it got here. I've wanted one since they announced it (and wanted an original as long as I can remember) and finally bit the bullet and ordered one, and I'm so glad I did.

It's my fourth Eastwood. I also have a Tuxedo, an H44 and a Bighorn. I've got a lot of guitars and my Eastwoods have been a fixture (especially my Tux) on every tour and session since 2009 when I bought my first one. I get people asking about them every single night, and I'm constantly swearing by these guitars and telling whoever will listen that I've never gotten more guitar for my money. I can already tell that this H78 is going to be my main guitar for a lot of years to come. Thanks for making the coolest looking, best sounding and most affordable guitars I'll ever play. One day I'll own them all!

Appearance: What can be said really... it's just beautiful.



Tone: Vintage single coils on a short scale. A lot of vintage chime clean with a hint of single coil bell tones ringing in. Bridge pickup is very bright as expected. The mid pickup is a bit fuller, with a little more spank to it, typical of a mid position. The neck pickup is not quite as thick as one might expect, but it still retains that rich tone you would expect from the neck position. All three pickups do a really nice job of complimenting each other in any of the varied pickup combinations. Speaking of which, the pickup switches have a very solid action, your not going to knock one out of position by accident. The tone pots are very smooth, so dialing them in is a piece of cake. The volume pots are a bit more sensitive, especially at the higher end.



The neck of the guitar is a little smaller than I expected for a guitar like this, but that just makes it that much easier for most folks to play. I'm more of a tree trunk guy myself, but I'm not particular either, so a little skinny doesn't bother me.



So what more can I say... I love this guitar! Even if I never played it, it would still be great just hanging on the wall as a piece of artwork.

When I bought this model in 2012 I didn't know how one pickup guitar could sound. Maybe like a Tele? or like a Strat in bridge position? The answer I found is yes and no. Anyway I loved this instrument.

Of course, it's hard to get thick deep tone as you can do with any Les Paul, but this model is not about that kind of sound. It gives you bright, raw tone with highs and middles, close to overdrive without a pedal (just turn the volume on 10). At the same time you can get very cool clean sound as if you play acoustic guitar. I used Airline '59 1p for garage rock, classic rock style riffs, funk stuff in my band and even country songs.

I also have to say few more words about playability: the neck is the best I've ever played, thin and fast. Playing any chord or lick becomes easier.

And finally - it looks perfect, red and crazy!

First off the look is unique. Vintage all around. Everyone comments on the amount of knobs. Two knobs per pickup. Plays great. Awesome thick tone. But what makes it is the feel. My hands and fingers glide along the fretboard. Very comfortable great playing guitar all around. Would recommend to anyone.

I received this guitar as a gift from my wife. It plays wonderfully and looks amazing. Would highly recommend it to anyone who like a thick three pickup sound with amazing control.

I absolutely love this guitar and never go for any of my other guitars anymore. Its is extremely versatile and you are able to get any tone you want with it. You can get some great garage rock/blues sounds to Hendrix "Little wing" tones. I play mine with a Fender Blues Junior and it is sweet. This is by far my favorite guitar ever. Les Pauls got nothing on this.

I have never played a better guitar in my life. I can recommend it to anyone. The way it resonates and the sound is superb.

And then there is the feeling.. oh god, don't get me started

The guitar is so perfect in so many little ways. It was assembled almost flawlessly, and arrived in pristine condition. It was fully set, and I didn't even need to adjust anything. It was literally perfect from the box.

There was a technical issue, however. When I use the tone switch to flip over to use the neck pickup, the output of the guitar quiets. This seems to be a wiring issue, which doesn't occur every time I switch to that pickup. I've ruled out the fact that it may be the volume knob specifically for that pickup. Switching to the neck and back seems to be an effective tool in countering this.

Other than the single pickup issue, this guitar sounds beautiful, and resonates quite wonderfully.

As a small addition to this review, that master volume knob was absolutely genius! Wonderful guitar, and definitely worth the money.

There are so many different combinations with the control of the 3 pickups both tone and volume (heavy metal to blues / rock) also neck is very fast and love the Bigsby Tremlo. and it screams play me. One Volume control was a great idea!



Just a cool guitar. and looks are tops.

Es una guitarra muy amplia en cuanto a tonos. Se pueden conseguir muchos colores distintos de sonido mezclando los micr�_fonos ya que la misma tiene control de volumen y tono para cada uno de ellos y los del punte y m��stil son single coil y el del medio humbucker. Solo ten�_a miedo que le falte presencia por ser su caja de pl��stico, pero evidentemente con el m��stil de madera alcanza para obtener un sonido magistral. El Bigby completa el combo para la magia.

De imagen, creo que no hace falta que diga nada. Es hermosa. Y SIEMPRE me preguntan por ella cuando la llevo a un concierto.

El precio es m��s que razonable y el estuche es muy lindo tambi��n.



La recomiendo en un 100%.
