Do you know if that is a single coil or humbucker? I know a lot of the old Valco's, etc had single coils in humbucker housing. Either way, I'm seriously digging your tone!
I mean the original. I have one of each. Very different animals. The Valco Airline is a great sounding guitar. i have been running it through a Vox AC4 and it sounds great.
How much of the sound is the guitar and how much is the amp. Meaning how does it sound on other amps?
How do these compare to the Airline Resoglass models? I have an Airline Pro (3pu) and it is one of my favorite guitars. I just love the way it feels and the sound. I have been thinking of picking up a Supro or a Tonemaster, but was curious how they sounded.
@airline59 - if you're talking about the original Valco-made Airline res-o-glas models, they had the same pickups and same construction as all the fiberglass bodied Valco guitars, they all have "that" sound.
Awesome pickups, but kinda picky as to what amps they like to be paired with.
If you're talking about the modern "Airline" branded guitars made in Asia and sold through Eastwood, they are completely different and bear no resemblance whatsoever in terms of sound, they just look similar. MEH
The 1633 was the stripped-down 1606 (two inputs instead of three, no pilot light, and the fuse holder is internal - you need to pull the back panel off to get at it). Awesome little amp. It is actually surprisingly loud for a single-6V6 thing with an 8". Loud enough to pummel that little camera microphone, for sure!

@ian6511 Hey Ian, thanks.
Valco never made a humbucking pickup...and yeah, they all sound like that!

Is that Junior Kimbrough you're playing?

@xdanielle182x - no, but there's some RL Burnside licks in there somewhere. LOVE Kimbrough's music, though, my band plays a bunch of his songs.
