Lots of tonal options
With the ability to have each mini humbucker either fully on, split coiled, or off, there are tons of possibilities for tone here! You can do pretty much anything with this guitar. It is a bit heavy, It has a very comfortable neck and is very easy to play. My favorite sewing is to have the bridge pickup on full bore, and have the neck pickup split. I'll throw the Middle pick up on every now and then to change it up. but thats usually my go to setting. It just depends on what the song needs. But you better believe this guitar can do it.

A Dream Guitar!!!!
For me, Seeing Robert Smith of The Cure play the Vintage version of these... I just had to have one! The reissues come with Humbuckers, where as the originals used single coils similar to the Vistatones on the Supro Coronado guitars. But regardless, the guitar plays like a dream and has the wonderful piezo pickup in the bridge that is awesome and really different when you add the bridge pickup together! I wish it would have white knobs and switch tips like the original, but not a big deal, i have already bought replacements. I have two Airline guitars and i can tell you they make QUALITY products! this came brilliantly set up from the factory. a quick return and i was on my way! This guitar is hard to put down! Get one!
