Here is a run through of some of the sounds of the Airline Tux. Pretty cool guitar very 5o's look and sound with a modern setup and feel. Played thru a Blues Jr.

If this guitar meets your needs in terms of sound and style, I'd say it is a very good purchase regarding value/price. I upgraded it to met my needs but you might not need to.

thanks for watching

Tim

What saddles did you use. I'd like to do the same. Thx.

[telebasher]

@itsonlyrcknroll I'm not sure, they were just left over from a previous guitar. but they seem to be standard tune-o-matic type brass saddles

Cool guitar and cool playing Tim!!

I hope to meet you one day!!

[telebasher]

@anitadavideduo I hope so too Davide.

Very nice playing. I like all the styles you use in this demo. I'll bet this guitar would sound even better through a nice tweed amp.

Can't get enough of your playing, Tim. I will have to sit down one day and jam to or transcribe your videoes. Love it. Thanks for sharing, and all the best to you.

@Eulanugent yeah indeed the bridge is bad i recplaced it with a tonepro (they make bridges for Gibson) bridge and the problem is gone im not sure if the tailpiece is bad but i will replace it for a Bigsby ! otherwise a great guitar for blues , rockabilly and that kind of music !

[Eulanugent]

@vokes113

Depends. If you like working on guitars-this one needs work right out of the box. Frets are great, intonation great.

Everything he replaced-NEEDS TO BE DONE. I just rec'd mine today.

Pickguard has to go-it's in the way of high E.

Cheap bridge buzzes no matter what you do. Replacement solves problem.

And the tailpiece is like a really bad last minute install. Like a ski-jump.

Needs to be an inch or two shorter.

Pick-ups and neck are sick!

Just needs some upgrades-2 bad for $800

@oldvinylrecordings

That's because the bhridge and tailpice are crap.

I just bought one too.

Too bad Lerch was not honest-he must work for Eastwood.

Hey Telebasher , i just got this guitar today and got stock strings on it but i think they are really bad.. you had problems with stock strings too ?

greets , wes

@telebasher the guitar seems pretty versatile, but how does strumming work? other eastwood guitars seem to favor a more laidback approach, but in a more rock or heavy blues oriented setting, does it let you cut loose? beyond that the lighter 50s, blues, and jazz all seem to work. whats your take?

Wonderful playing throughout the video!! Do you have sheet music for any piece that you're playing?
