2022 Airline 59 3P DLX – Gold Metal Flake
THE GUITARCHIVE – Sometimes having “some” of the options just doesn’t cut it. The ‘59 3P DLX gives it all – the historic and showstopping Airline ‘59 body shape, a Bigsby tailpiece, and flexible controls will command attention from any audience and have fellow artists itching to experiment.
With 5-way switching and independent volume and tone-control knobs for each of the three Airline ‘Vintage Voiced Single Coil’ pickups, we’re confident in saying that there is near-endless tonal variety to be explored. The big question that’s left us stumped: “What can’t this model do?”
You can demo instruments like this at The Local Pickup guitar showroom in Rock Hill, SC (Charlotte, NC).
