Just traded my Eastwood Airline...

Post by Richard »

for a 60th anniversary Highway One Stratocaster. I've never been a Strat person, but I've wanted another 25.5" scale Fender since I traded my Jazzmasters, and the necks on these are pretty nice. It's a little worn, but it looks and plays good. I'll probably sell it or trade it for parts because I want to start a Jazzmaster project. I guess I couldn't go wrong trading my Eastwood for any US Fender. Anyway, pics.

I've heard a lot of bad stuff about them, but the only shitty thing about the one I had was the tuners. They sucked so much ass it was unbelievable. From the time it was new they would rattle if I played any of the strings open. Otherwise I loved the Airline though. I'd like to build one of those Res-O-Glass replica kits at some point, but a Jazzmaster will come first.

Why? To my mind it just makes sense. Middle and neck is all Hendrix/R&B/funk town and bridge is RAWK.

My Eastwood Mosrite is flawless. Great electronics, great build quality. came pretty much setup out of the box. Even the tuners are good quality. I'd definitely buy another one.

It's settled then, you've gone mad. Big ass headstocks FTW.

The neck is a little pale, but it's much whiter in the pictures than IRL.

Robroes would look really good. It's getting some if I decide to keep it.

I love white guards with Black pickup covers. Good trade, I honestly think it is a better deal than the airline.

And BTW, imagine a Fiesta Red Strat with Three singles White guard and black tips/covers

All I ever want to play on a strat is the bridge pickup. Granted, the last time I played a strat in a band setting was two years ago, so my tastes and playing might have changed.
