If you are someone who is looking for a classic guitar that has been passed on to the modern era, then you might want to check out Eastwood Guitars.  airline-mapThis company is one that has worked to revive the Airline guitars, which was a brand that was very popular during the 1960’s and late 1950’s.  For classic rock aficionados, these guitars are pieces of history that bring forth a little extra soul and spirit into the music.  However, it can be difficult to find a classic Airline guitar as the original models are now priced at more than three thousand dollars, and can be quite hard to come by.  So, if you are looking to use this brand of guitar, then you might want to look at these newly redone models to see if they fit with your purposes.

The Airline MAP is a guitar that will not only look cool, but it will also work to make sure that your sound is one that is unique.  In fact, bands today like The White Stripes and The Cure use the Airline MAP guitar for this very reason.  If you use this tribute guitar then you will have the option of buying the model in four colors: red, black, white and seafoam green.  Not only this, but it has two volume and a single tone control as well as a roller bridge and BIGSBY tremolo.  The guitar looks much like the traditional model did that was released in the fifties and sixties, but it is much more affordable.


Eastwood Guitars has revived the Airline brand of relic guitars from the late 1950s and 1960s.  eastwood-airline-59-2pThese awesome guitars have been played by a number of great players, including guitarists for the Cure, Calexico, White Stripes, and David Bowie.  The Airline guitars were originally produced from 1958 to 1968 by VALCO and were sold exclusively through Montgomery Ward department stores.  Original Airlines now sell for well over $2,000.

However, the Airline ’59 2P offers players a chance to get their hands on a guitar that looks and feels like one of the originals without paying that much.  The limited edition 50th anniversary model comes in either red or gold, and it features just about everything the original did.  It’s done in a mahogany body with a bolted on maple neck.  The fingerboard is made from rosewood and features block markers.  It has two Airline vintage voiced single coil pickups, a three way vintage switch, two volume controls, two tone controls, and a master volume control.  It has a tune-o-matic bridge with a custom chrome tail, and it features vintage kluson style nickel/chrome hardware.  Two unique features of the Eastwood Airline ’59 2P include its striped pickguard and its rubber body binding.
