Airline Bighorn
Dear Eastwood fellows and fans,

You'll never find a cooler strap than the Airline Custom Leather Strap on this planet. And in Seafoam Green? Whaaaaaat?

Don't miss out. Get one of these bad boys while you can.

Better than I expected and I expected a lot coming from Eastwood.

Love it and THANKS!, Stephen

Airline 59 Coronado - Discontinued
WOW! what an excellent piece of creative genius from Eastowood/Airline. I am so happy I own one of these! It plays great, nice action and feel to the neck. I personally love the desogn and the beautiful green color. It sounds as good as it looks. Although I normally favor high powered Dimarzio double coil pickups, the single coil neck and bridge pickups sound great, bright and powerful and at the same time very sensitive to harmonics. It feels great to hold and play. the tuners are very nice, the guitar stays in tune. As happy as I am with the guitar, the experiences I have had as a customer are equaly positive. good people and a wonderful product!

I was surprised that Mike ordered these in lefty. I think I ordered my right as the email alert went out.



It's a fantastic guitar, as are all Eastwood/Airline instruments. A tribute to the Harmony something-model. I'm sure others here know what the Harmony model was. I have not played out with it yet, and will give a longer review when I do (If people seem interested).



The three sorta Gold Foil pick-ups don't have a whole lot of volume, but that's not what this guitar is about, and they do have great and tasty tone. All the effects I'm using with it are simply a tuner, some reverb from my amp (or a bit of chorus if I'm using my Roland JC-120) and an Electro Harmonix East River Drive overdrive pedal - delightful! I don't use Bigsby set-ups, but I believe they have them available. As a pretty straight up Tele user, I am digging the sound of the middle and neck together. The bridge p.u. is fine, but it ain't my beloved Tele ice pick to the skull sound, but I WANTED something different, and I love the front two pickups together. Plus, IMHO, the front pickup by itself with the tone rolled off gives a quite respectable jazz tone.



These may be all gone by now. If not, and you dig guitars other than Fenders, Gibsons, and high end stuff, you should check them out.



Eastwood is a delight to work with - I have three of their guitars. I have never had a problem with them re: fit and finish, proper set up, or shipping delays. They be good people.

Airline Guitars MAP Mandola Black
This thing screams and sings. With a mini-humbucker in the neck the sound of the swamp is always close by. Play it clean for an interesting sound color that chimes down low. Stomp on some dirt and man this thing really sounds good. Add trem and lord you have just conjured forth acadian paradise. I love this thing this mandola.

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.

Airline Guitars Folkstar Ice Blue Metallic
I already had a couple of reso guitars when I came across this beauty. My interest was spurred by the ample room above the 12th fret for slide work. I took a trip directly to Eastwood's showroom and sampled a couple of them.



Of the three I tried, there honestly wasn't much to choose between them; I took the one which had a slightly HIGHER action (for slide).



There is a LOT more to this guitar than slide. The electronics are SUPERB, particularly the 'blend' control' for the biscuit bridge pickup and the conventional neck pickup. You can get some sounds that cross the spectrum from traditional to otherworldly with the right amplification (compression recommended).



Really nice build quality; really versatile guitar. I'm now saving space because of the two reso guitars I've sold since getting this one. This guitar is a reproduction of a '64 National model. I don't know if this one's better, but it sure is GOOD....

Really cool mandola. I couldn't find an electric mandola anywhere until I came to Eastwood. Sounds good, feels good, looks good, and playable out of the box after tuning.

Airline Guitars Bighorn Redburst
The Bighorn is an awesome guitar. I am very (very) pleased with it.



This guitar has some real punch to it. The two pickups have great volume, really nice tone.



I find that the fit and finish on the Bighorn is a little better than the BobKat I ordered at the same time. It must be a different production line.



The frets on the Bighorn were dressed and finished properly which was a relief.



This guitar is a pleasure to play, the action was set perfectly from the factory, I didn't need to change a thing. It is good to know the intonation is adjustable.



The first Bighorn I received had a muffed-up fret board. The rosewood was a little knotty and there was a split and sliver that was not polished out and would have left slivers if anyone had actually played it. I'm not sure how this one ever left the factory with the QC issues on the fret board but it all worked out OK.



Eastwood sent a prompt replacement and the new replacement Bighorn was perfect.



The guitar plays well, sounds great, and was a raging bargain.



I highly recommend this guitar. You'll enjoy it very much.

Airline Guitars Vanguard Vintage Mint Green
The product in itself is amazing and super comfortable once broken in (it is gonna feel stiff the first few weeks).The shoulder pad is big and soft.



Plus, it looks amazing and, as musicians, we know the look is super important.



But the thing is that I ordered two; one was perfect but, on the second one, there were holes missing. Not big deal, all I needed was a Nail and a Hammer to fix it.

After this little problematic, the product is surprisingly good considering that it costs almost half the price of other brands!



I highly recommend buying one!

Airline Guitars MAP DLX Red
Right as I opened the case and saw that shimmering black with the Bigsby I knew this was a great purchase. Took her out of the case, plugged her in and fell in love.



Great tonal range and a beautiful look/feel. Stock right out of the box I give it a 5.



Totally worth your money.

Airline Custom Leather Guitar Strap
I've always liked the 60s vintage style spaghetti strap but haven't found any -- aside from Gretsch -- that (a) could handle the stress weight of a heavy solid body at the attachment points or (b) was comfortable enough to permit playing for 60 minutes at a time. The Airline strap is a dream come true. SOLID construction, well trimmed and finished inside and outside, classic spaghetti lines and really grips the strap nuts. The shoulder piece stays put during play, and yet moves easily if I need to make an adjustment for different playing styles/roles. I love it so much I bought a second in a different color for another of my vintage Les Paul solid bodies. Comfortable, well made, doesn't wear and looks terrific. You will not be sorry buying an Airline strap.

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.
