This design is old school but with an upscale twist. It gives kudos to the retro tattoo style of limited colors yet with the solid-body of todays player. I am just learning to play (6 months) and am using a friends solid body. This beauty should Rocked for years and would be envied by all that see her.

Okay, I live in Macau at the bottom of China so there is no way I am going to win the Twitter contest. I just bought one online and looking forward to playing it when it arrives.
This will be my 7th Eastwood or Airline and if it is anything like the others will be a joy to behold as well as play.
Cheers,
Alan

Ordered one a week ago. Arrived today. Thats great considering that Mike is in America and I am in Macau.
Just finished testing it out. Great feel, great tone, great playability. The ants pants.
So, f you haven’t bought yourself an Airline yet, do yourself a favor. You’ll be satisfied every time.

Alan
