[Help!I'maRock!]

Eastwood Airline '59 3P DLX

This thing is an absolute beast I had to wait a while because it was on pre-order but I love it and I hate to let it go. I had a Lutheran add a Shim to the Bigsby but can easily be taken out if you don’t like it. It’s there to prevent strings from breaking. Comes with a hardshell case

Well good thing he didn’t have the shim work done by a Catholic.

Well good thing he didn’t have the shim work done by a Catholic.

I had to think about why it mattered what religion the guy was who put in the shim until I figured out what he meant.

I love quirky 60s guitars, but I'll make an exception in this case...

I dig it.

 

[DinoMikeSr]

Nope.

I played one of those in a shop a couple weeks ago for shits and giggles. It was black not gold. The knobs are in the way and three humbuckers make for a dumb configuration—you don’t gain many/any additional useful sounds. The jack is in a dumb spot relative to the Bigsby because if you roll the bar out of the way as a rule and then plug the guitar in, you can’t roll the arm back if you wanna use it.

The neck felt alright and the fit and finish seemed fine. But a lot of the gobbledegook on the body made it hard to play comfortably.

This obviously fucks, but solely in a disturbing ‘drugged-out orgy that you see on really bleak and soul-crushing HBO series’ kinda way.

EDIT: this should go without saying, but the individual in the photo who is wearing those Under Armour flip-flops most certainly does NOT fuck.

 

[Dexter Inferno]

Fucking hell.

In most cases I can find at least one redeeming thing about a guitar. There's nothing on this one I like.
Well, strap locks is a positive I guess.

 

[Honkridge]

Intriguing, but its got too many strikes against it. Pass

Nail that indulgence to the door, Luther, because I LOVE IT!

 

[LeftyTom]

A bit too clunky-looking.

 

[Chicken Man]

I'd duck around on that, but c'mon.

It looks like the guitar equivalent of the car Homer Simpson designed.

 

[bsman]

You want a Lutheran or Catholic if you're going to add a shim, but if you need to roll the fretboard edges, it's a Jew you want...

 

[Chad]

I have a feeling I'd end up with bloody knuckles after playing that.

[VoidTerraFirma]

Horrible.

 

[Aahzz]

Utterly hideous

Some guitars should be left in the past...
