Eastwood AIRLINE 3P DLX Guitar - Brian Greenway

[myrareguitars]

where are you located?

[machone7I]

I'm thinking of buying either this guitar, an Airline 3p or 2p or a Gretsch double jet G5445T. I've heard both guitars are very verstaile, and have tried the gretsch, however i've ever seen an airline in person but i have only heard good things about them. I've heard both are very versatile. Help please.

[TitoPaokG4]

what's the difference between this and the jb hutto montgommery airline?

[JWBaz]

@TitoPaokG4

The "Hutto Model" (sometimes called a Jetsons model) is different in a lot of ways but primarily: 1) it had two pickups as opposed to the 3 on this Airline 2) it was a Res-O-Glass (hollow fiberglass body) while this one is a solid body, I believe 3) the Hutto didn't have a Bigsby tailpiece 4) The old Hutto was much more "cheaply" made and contains inferior parts - in terms of affordability, electric guitar building/electronics have come a long way since the 50's.

[fusionfilmstv]

i have one of these babies... amazing



[LegendaryWeiner]

what would you say is better. the eastwood airline 3P or the fender jag HH? what is this guitar like. light or heavy? reliable? worth the money? please get back to me

[MyNameIsAndrew1000]

i just came

[TheSwollenPickle]

the reason we call it a jack white guitar is because he is the only one to play it, jimmy page isnt the only one to play a les paul so you can own one without anyone saying its a jimmy page guitar same with a strat or pretty much anything else

[DavidGilBelando]

@TheSwollenPickle I don't think you can say Jack White is the only one to play it, there are some musicians like Calexico's Joey Burns, PJ Harvey or Josh Klinghoffer, the new RHCP-guitarist; so I think calling it the Jack-White-Guitar fits just as much as calling the LP the Jimmy-Page guitar...just my opinion.

[iraedivine13]

Is the guitar plugged right in the amp or is there an od pedal of some sort in between? That crunch is really sweet, what's that Fender?

[troyrkd]

am i the only one that thinks this guitar looks ugly as shit?

[DavidGilBelando]

@troyrkd You seem to be :D...I guess that's a matter of taste again, I personally think it looks great.

[screamingjesus23]

It sounds so "little bird" from the white stripes \m/

[fnarfle]

@screamingjesus23

"Little Bird" is a Son House song. :P

[HajrudinPranjga]

amazing slide tone

[kostasa13]

IS THIS GUITAR USEFUL FOR FUNK/GRUNGE MUSIC???(LIKE RHCP,PRIMUS,PEARL JAM,FAITH NO MORE)

[Alexgibbo5]

@kostasa13 RHCP'S new guitarist plays one

[SamBuckleProject]

I just want one so bad...cant wait to get my hands on one

[some1islooking]

stratocaster is garbage compared to this...This is art in any way u want it and let's not even talk about quality

[Kotowicz78]

I have one and it's simply the most amazing guitar I have ever bought! it sounds great, it's easy to play, the neck is really fast and the tone is sooo fat! when the guitar finally arrived from canada (i'm from portugal) i just had to start rocking the neighbours out!

Hail Mike Robinson!

[bluesboyguitar]

Jack White said it was made out of plastic.

[Diabloamarant]

@bluesboyguitar Jack doesn't actually play this guitar, he plays the guitar that this one was based on. Jack plays a JB Hutto Montgomery Airline.

[braberdebrabel22]

@bluesboyguitar This aint jacks guitar :P. That was a mosrite and this is just a copy. A real PLASTIC mosrite would set you back over 2000 $. Mosrite hase been out of buisnes for a lot of years now so you probably wont find one easely.

[bluesboyguitar]

@braberdebrabel22 I know it isn't -.- I was asking...

[stude444]

@braberdebrabel22 Except his was an Airline.

[whoisthatguy1000]

@braberdebrabel22

Original Airlines arent anything special. Listen to Jack white live. Ignore the fact that its jack white and just pay attention to the sound coming out of the guitar. It sounds hollow and cheap, and doesnt sustain well, like a guitar that was sold in a department store (Montgomery Ward). The reason they sell for so much is because they're old and people like Jack White play them. I own an Eastwood airline, and it puts the original fiberglass model to shame. To shame.

[Luvinhas]

What is the point, of a freaking cool guitar, having, 20 frets...

[Klaevn]

What tuning does he use? Great slide work right there. And a great guitar - my next one, if all goes according to plan.

[demolition73]

Whats this type of music called?

[mynmyself]

really digin how amazing this sounds... i can imagine it can really scream with a nice silicon fuzz

[m1rto]

piece of art.



[Swannou]

Did he say ridicule design or really cool design O_o ? Because i don't think this is a ridicule Design, i love it !

[HardAsARock222]

that guitar is so badass...i like it cause it looks so heavy duty and it sounds amazing

[yourown99]

i fucking love the design this guitar has. i have a question for you experts =). is it true that you can get any sound out of any guitar with the right hardware? thanks

[mtlpatsyst]

Nice demo...great sound! Wich Fender amp is this is??

[eibbes]

would'nt it be hard to play with all the nobs in the way?

[Miikaleksi]

Yes it is. I have one and the only thing to complain is the knobs.

[myrareguitars]

Basically, I would make the decision based on the tremolo.. Do you NEED that? If yes, get the 3P DLX, if NO, get the 2PDLX.

[eatthemoon13]

Thank u yea i need that.also as many tones as poss,ive made my mind up 3p.ahhh yea.gonna have to do something with those knobs.ill mod,

[olliezero]

I'd pay the extra hundred dollars for the three pickup look. artistically everything is balanced and really achieves that retro look.

[bib4tuna]

Agreed. If you're gonna go--go all the way!

[jazzmaster341]

Man I would LOVE! to hear this guitar wth a usa big muff!

[milligano]

listen to the white stripes

[jks2]

it sounds different. theoriginal airline has a body made out of some sort of plastic

[TubeFreakJonas]

LOLBrian is old-school, a real Canadian rock icon (you know from back when kids had to be musical to form a band.)

[Graham60543]

ya now theres shit like american idol

[DGENERATE07]

@TubeFreakJonas erm, anyone can form a band? you know what punk rock is?

[TubeFreakJonas]

@DGENERATE07 - sure but talent helps. Sounding like Velvet Underground may not work for just anybody, because Lou Reed had charisma. The Ramones were actually extremely musical and nobody can really copy that. Simplicity can be deceiving. However- 'anyone' can form a $#!t band.

[DGENERATE07]

@TubeFreakJonas i get the point you're trying to make man, all the crappy bands filling up the world with not as much passion for the music. Although, I do think its okay for people who make crappy music to form a band, for the experience, but them becoming successful like what happens a lot these days is just bull shit. I didn't know that about The Ramones, doesn't matter and simplicity is simplicity though i guess

[nicolasbalzarotti]

what distorcion are you using?

[BazzTheBoss]

tube powerrrr

[trite3825]

I just got one recently and i love it. It ain't no fender thats for sure. Your fingers have to really work, but not in a bad way. The guitar kicks my ass and it totally making me a better player. The tone beats out any guitar I've played; vintage, boutique, new, whatever. Airline ftw!

[olliezero]

I know it's late, but what do you mean by they really have to work?

[JonnyCapricorn]

it's wierd, i know exactly what he's talking about, its an awesome guitar, but it's my least favorite out of all of my others. Something with the neck, makes the strings feel really stiff, and just really tight no matter what tuning, its more so the middle to high strings. Strong fingers are necessary. . And all the knobs get in the way. It's got a good weight to it, not light. But the TONE! Whoa, it's really deep. you can feel it in your bones, And the sustain burns. Great for recording.

[Rockabilly500]

it looks really small

[83king]

800 bucks and its yours...im copn one

[Happyrobotfilms]

It looks very hard to play.

Does anyone know if it plays well?

I'd really like to know. Thanks.

[Plancton2006]

it's totally easy to play, it's a great smooth guitar with great action.

[slymaxxx]

To clear things up Jack White Plays a complete different guitar. He plays the original airline Res-o-glass from the 1959, 1960s. They stopped making them so Eastwood decides to make replicas. Jack Whites is original and sounds better. He plays the 2p but not buy Eastwood. you can tell since Eastwood does not do that white stripe on the outside =]

[smileomen]

The replicas are actually made a whole lot better than the original 60s models, although tey dont have the original vintage tone the necks are alot more solid and the whole thing is just more solidly built and better finished! Theyre worth checking out and sound phenominal!

[Jet7445]

the ones from the 60's models sound like crap. he had it rewound or something. the weird shaped guitars from the 60's didn't sound that good but they looked cool

[Degenola]

Actually, the original sounds like crap compared to Eastwoods Airline, still it's way cooler to have an original Res-o-glass. And about that white stripe, Eastwood's got a new model of the Airline that does have the white stripe. :)

[dialaname]

yeah but it doesnt matter, since its bolt on and you can just replace the neck duh. and also jack white actually popularized this guitar VERy well

[Plancton2006]

cool guitar - but why do they demosntrate it with distortion? I'd like to hear what it really sounds like with all the different settings and clean sound.

[BlackAngusYoung]

You probably found it already, but I just noticed there is another demo with Wendell showing the same guitar with other tones.

[philphie]

what is everyone's beef with jack white using this guitar

[GraffitiAmerica897]

i know that theres an identical model made by Eastwood that is the 2 Pickup Deluxe. Can you play slide on the 2 Pickup Deluxe as well?

Please respond!

[d00derson]

yeah, you can play slide on any guitar if it's set up correctly.

[philphie]

as long as they're steel strings and in open tuning you can do slide on anny guitar...ANY!!!

[CynicalSquid]

I'd buy one, but it only has 20 frets.

[RockAndLoadJM]

Yeh, but they're 20 really nice frets! You don't need any more frets, believe! It rocks like nothing else!

[CynicalSquid]

I like the triple humbuckers, but for my style of playing, I need at least 22 frets.

[lordwinstonrock]

i must own that guitar

[Steve0585]

wow, i want one.

[exile137]

To tell the truth the only thing holding me back is the 20 fret neck...it shouldn't really matter but its just something that will bug me.

[PrettyPrinceOparties]

yeah, i think they should work on that. it doesn't really matter, but I'm a super perfectionist. .

[fcapece]

I WANT ONEE!!!!

[BuzzardSong]

some one know metropolitan Tanglewood guitar

[Inxtc1]

yeah sorry its a res-o-glas i knew that

one is or was on sell for ebay

sold for aroune $1600

[Inxtc1]

stupid jack white uses a ras-o-glass guitar

[Levesque999]

Fibreglass really. Just a fancy name.

And its RES-o-glass.

[drobison1]

hey idiot jack white uses a different model.

[lubydub]

bigsbys are expencive..

[MotorcadeFilms]

I will buy this guitar!

[sirsartana]

I own the High Flyer and its awesome and this will be my next Eastwood a la Jack White....a red one of course....sounds mean!

[maiserratos]

jack white's is a two pick up one with out the tremolo

[PooPoo2U]

good luck with people not making fun of your for playing the quote-unquote "jack white guitar"

[weezerrock89]

dude, jack wite's is a vintage airline from the sixties with two pickups. Also, it isnt the "jack white guitar." Do people call the les paul the "Jimmy Page guitar?" or the stratocaster the "david gilmour guitar?"

[PooPoo2U]

that's why i included quotes smart guy. i know it isn't a jack white signature or something.

now consider the idiocy of your average non-guitarist about gear. do you honestly think people won't associate the body shape? or even more importantly, do you think they even know what a pickup is, much less notice how many there are?

[1950sRedAirliner]

The Airline was popularized by not only Jack, but Bowie as well as others. This model is more of an improvement, and in it's different colors can hardly be recognized as any 'Jack White guitar'.

Still great musicians and guitars, hands down.

[PooPoo2U]

correction: bowie NOW plays an airline map replica, and to my knowledge never played even the originals in his early career, playing schecter PTs (tele knockoffs) primarily.

[1950sRedAirliner]

Bowie DID play it. I did not say he was playing at this very moment.

Jack White actually has two JB Hutto Airlines, from 1964, I think. His was most likely Res-O-Glass.

[PooPoo2U]

bowie plays them now, but i'm not familiar with him ever playing them back in his heyday

[philphie]

exactly i don't know why anyone has a problem with this model looking like jack's. you might as well have everyone not playing gretsches if you thnk like that

[mikedub1219]

uhh, they still make airlines with 2 pickups.

[PrettyPrinceOparties]

yeah, but the three pickups produce the sweet melodic tone some players crave.

[chumrock08]

thank you! great point!

[1950sRedAirliner]

Funny how you picked Dave instead of Jimi.

[Alnwick07]

@weezerrock89 you make a good point about the stratocaster and les paul, but i think it could be called a "Jack White Guitar" purely because not many people play this make of guitar when compared to fenders or gibsons

[mattcav221]

@weezerrock89 well if the strat is anything it would be "Jimi Hedrix's guitar", but people call it jack white's guitar because he was the one that made it popular. it was a no-name plastic piece of crap worth only a hundred dollars before he made it iconic. now theyre worth thousands of dollars

[stude444]

@weezerrock89 its because the strat and the les paul are known by anyone, but who knows what an airline is? jack white made it popular =P

[mikepunchyourfucface]

@weezerrock89 who plays it like jack? loll this comments typical to a weezer fan, although the blue album was great loll SAY IT AINT SOoOoOoOoO

[Niraham]

@weezerrock89 Stratocaster is not David Gilmour guitar but Jimi Hendrix guitar. ;)

[Thatfenderguy]

@weezerrock89 Jack has 2 actually. One with just the bridge pickup

[niedervi]

@weezerrock89 that´s true, but man, THIS sound is, what makes the White Stripes so awesome. It´s incompareable with any other guitar, and any other band. ;)

[DGENERATE07]

@weezerrock89 of course it isnt but the les paul and strat has been played by countless legendary guitar players and jack white plays the airline knowing that there's not many other well known guitar players that do

[jordanzed]

Who cares if idiots think it's the "jack white guitar" and say stupid shit, if it's a good guitar, it should be worth using in spite of that.
