Eastwood Airline Deluxe 3P DLX + Bigsby 2000's White Early Version Project TLC This is an early version of the Eastwood Airline Custom '59 3P DLX as the headstock has only Eastwood printed on it and not the raised metal Airline logo.THIS GUITAR HAS SOME ISSUES AND WILL NEED SOME TLC.PLEASE READ FIRST! SELLING AS IS. There are cracks on both sides of the fingerboard that run from the string nut to about the 2nd fret. The truss rod juts out from the headstock and the truss rod cover is bent because of the extended rod. I'm not sure if that's how Eastwood used to do their truss rods, but I did not want to mess with the truss rod and have decided to sell this guitar as I found it.The middle pickup is not working. I'm not sure if it's just disconnected or if the pickup is dead. I would guess there is a cold solder or disconnected terminal for that pickup but I can't be certain and I did not want to dig into pulling this apart as there are no control plates for easy access. Other than those issues, the guitar is playable and the master volume, 5 way switch and individual volume and tone controls do work for the neck and bridge pickups. The tone control assigned to the middle pickup also adjusts tone for the neck and bridge pickups depending on the 5 way selector. The guitar body is in great shape otherwise. Should be an easy fix or there are plenty of parts here to use or customize. Here's what the Eastwood Airline website says about this guitar. • Body: Tone Chambered Mahogany
