Axes bold as brass…
Eastwood´s new
Airline '59 Custom Series
are bringing a number of new features to the brand.
A rubber binding now surrounds the chambered mahogany bodies of the new 2P (£749) and 3P (£879) - just like on Airline´s original Res-O-Glas guitars. Other details include NOS Valco knobs and aluminium tone switch plate and the 2P and 3P feature high output Vintage Voiced sing-coils. The 3P has a Bigsby tremolo and is available in white or seafoam green finishes while the 2P is available in red.
“It's been five years since I asked our engineering team for that rubber binding”
, stated Mike Robinson, President of Eastwood Guitars.
“It was definitely worth the wait. Over the past six years, our Airline series has built a great reputation for playability and tone, but now we are setting a new standard in guitar aesthetics with the new ‘59 Custom Series”.
