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.
I have played drums for years and just made up my mind to learn guitar. This would be perfect. Simply pefection. Outstanding guitar.

Bonjour,
Cette guitare est splendide je participe au concours
Merci!
Would love to have this great looking guitar.
Airline has created an instant collectible classic. This guitar is a masterpice.
The father of old-school tattooing, Sailor Jerry was a true classic in every sense of the word!
Now this is a beautiful guitar. It is absolutely a work of art!
A beautiful guitar and a great collaboration. You’ve really got a good line of guitars with impressive construction, playability, and fabulous sound.
we made 36, we only have 10 left.
very nice!
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
WOW!!! Amazing…
Well, it’s June 12th and I don’t tweet so that leaves me out. Great looking guitar though.
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.
Cheers,
Alan
