Eastwood Guitars Airline Folkstar resonator guitar red
Product no: 9000-0005-6718 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The Eastwood Airline Folkstar is a quirky resonator guitar. It was modelled after the Airline Folkstar from the fifties, but is equipped with pickups to amplify the sound. There's a mini humbucker at the neck and a piezo pickup under the bridge that can be blended smoothly for a full control over the sound that you can further adjust with the tone and volume controls.

Slender

The Airline Folkstar has a slender neck for smooth playing. Its body is thin and features rubber bindings for a vintage look. The chromed resonator cone is highly striking and plays a pivotal role in producing this guitar's characteristic folk sound. This red Airline Folkstar combines vintage charm with the power of a mini humbucker and piezo pickup.

New Honey-Sweet Edition of the Gretsch G9202 Resonator

Thursday 19 November 2015

Guitarists who are serious about playing the resonator guitar have always set great store by the Gretsch Honey Dipper Specials. These fantastic resonator instruments - which are available as round-neck models, but also come with square necks for lap steel fanatics - hardly leave any room for improvement, which is why Gretsch issues the occasional limited edition with a special finish. And credit where credit's due: the exclusive Weathered Bell Bronze finish certainly becomes the G9202 Honey Dipper Special Round Neck.
