Eastwood Airline Twin Tone
This is based on the classic 50s Supro Dual Tone model played by guitarists like Jimmy Page and Link Wray - yep, they didn't just play Danelectros.
You can see Joe Perry playing his Supro Dual Tone in the video for Aerosmith hankyfest I Don't Want To Miss A Thing. Our budget Airline offers all that rock star vibe on a busker's budget.
The Airline Twin Tone feels like a vintage guitar. It doesn't quite have the easy playability of most modern guitars but, to be honest, that only adds to its old-school vibe. You might not agree.
Tonally, this guitar packs a real punch thanks to its beefy sounding humbuckers. The bridge unit in particular pushed our amp into a thick overdrive that we couldn't get enough of.
That tonal power makes the Twin Tone a cool alternative to the Epiphone Les Paul or any of its many derivatives.
MusicRadar Rating
Pros
Looks, rocking tone.
Cons
Not quite as playable.
Verdict
An 'old-school' vibe guitar that will appeal to some more than others.
