Eastwood Guitars
Eastwood Guitars rebuilds the strange instruments the major manufacturers abandoned — Airline, Mosrite and Supro-adjacent shapes, baritones, and designs that only ever existed as catalogue oddities. The Canadian company treats the 1960s budget-guitar era as a design archive worth mining rather than a joke. Recent GuitarBomb coverage includes the BG 64 baritone 'guitarlin', and Eastwood is a regular in our pawn-shop and offbeat-instrument features.

Eastwood Guitars FAQ4 questions
What does Eastwood make?
Tribute and vintage-style instruments. Eastwood Guitars is a Canadian manufacturer founded in 2001 by Michael Robinson and based in Brampton, Ontario, producing electric guitars, basses, electric mandolins, resonators, lap steels, tenor guitars and ukuleles — mostly recreations of oddities the original makers abandoned.
What is an Eastwood Airline?
Eastwood's revival of the Airline brand once sold by Montgomery Ward and built by Valco — the res-o-glas bodied guitars that Jack White made famous. The Eastwood versions are modern instruments in those shapes rather than reissues from the original tooling.
Why does Eastwood make copies of obscure guitars?
Because the originals are scarce, expensive and often unreliable. The company's whole position is that a 1960s Japanese or American oddity has a sound and a look worth having without the risk, so it rebuilds the design with modern hardware and quality control.
How does Eastwood sell its guitars?
It started by selling direct to customers online before expanding into retail stores, and direct sales remain a large part of the business. That is also how it runs its custom-shop style limited runs, where models are built once enough interest is registered.
