Airline Guitars MAP Colin Newman Signature Seafoam Green Electric w/Piezo Pickup

Eastwood Guitars Airline MAP Colin Newman Signature

Inspired by the vintage National Newport model

Signature model with Piezo acoustic bridge pickup

The folks at Eastwood Guitars have been long been fans of Colin Newman and his band WIRE. With Colin as an avid user of the Airline MAP guitar, it only seemed logical to take things to the next step and release an official signature model. The Colin Newman Signature MAP features all the same specs as the MAP you know and love, with the addition of a custom piezo bridge for a great mix of electric / acoustic tones.

The Airline MAP is a tribute to the vintage National Newport. Eastwood Guitars version, marketed under the Airline brand name, maintains the cool vibe of the original VALCO design, but addresses issues with playability, reliability and construction that those old guitars were infamous for - All at a price far below the soaring cost of the highly sought after, vintage instruments. Original MAP Res-O-Glas models now routinely sell for several thousand dollars. You can own this version from Airline Guitars for a fraction of that price and it’s a phenomenal instrument for the money.

“The MAP” is a well-balanced guitar which fits comfortably against the body and the medium slim neck fits nicely in the hand. The body is made from Tone Chambered Mahogany and the all wood construction provides are very resonant sound vs the rather dead sounding, original Res-o-Glas construction. Two killer sounding humbucker pickups top off the package. A hardshell case is not included but available separately.
