Hi, great review! I have a question. What is under the pickguard? I’m specifically interested in the space under the bridge. Is there only a single coil sized cutout or is it bigger, being able to facilitate a larger pickup? I really love the look and sound, I’m just curious how moddable overall the guitar is. I have looked at other models like the Jetson Jr. 2P with two full sized humbuckers, but that model doesn’t have a chambered body which I’m after. Thanks in advance! :)
That is one cool guitar. I wonder if the "rubber gasket" will prevent the guitar from sliding down my leg while sitting? I hate when a Strat creeps down your leg when I'm playing, & I constantly have to strap it.
Oh yes, this is a real beauty and sounds great... I really need one. What is about guitars that make us keep buying them when we have a bloody room full of them already... Please Eastwood stop making the coolest and best guitars in the world, your going to send me broke, not to mention the wife who just can't understand why I NEED so many, Yikes.
Hey, nice playing. Would you recommend this guitar as a first electric guitar (i've been playing on a folk one for about 1 year)? Is it as versatile as a strat for example? I found one at 250 euros instead of 900.
I don't know why people buy the mahogany versions of these guitars, isn't the reason they were so unique and cool that they were made out of materials other than wood? too me this is just another less paul copy (although with a different bridge pick up and string through), not a proper Airline.
In theory, but in actual reality having particle board bodies held together by tape doesn't really bode well for longevity and considering that it probably doesn't cost much more, perhaps even less to use real wood nowadays since it's such a manufacturing boon, starts making sense. The body wood at most changes the tone extremely minimally (though, I'd figure not at all) it's the funky pickups, wiring and especially the strange bridge constructions that made department store guitars sound how they did. In my opinion, as cool as it would be to own an original, using real wood but leaving everything else is a good compromise between vintage specs and practicality. In the same sense that most people who buy vintage reissue fenders don't actually want a vintage neck radius.
