looks just like one of the old Eastwood guitars just with humbuckers installed before they went with a black headstock but it also looks like it says Airline. L8r, Kevin

I saw one of those on either UK or Canadian ebay last weekend.I've been trying to remember the name ever since I saw your post.It's the first I've ever heard of them but it looked pretty good.I wonder how many other mosrite clones are out there that we have yet to hear of?

Are you sure it's not an ALDEN? I had a baritone one, made in the same chinese factory as Eastwood. There were loads of them for sale on ebay about 4 years ago..

I don't know... It's a funny thing about guitars. For example what we know as fernandes here in the states is the Burny brand in some countries. Maybe the same holds true to Alden and eastwood? I don't know. Kevin

The Mugwumps were a 60's band (around '64) with 2 future members of the Mamas and Papas, one of the members of the Lovin' Spoonful, and someone who wrote songs for Johnny Rivers and others.....I have a copy of their album somewhere in the collection of 4000+ vinyl albums I have in storage. I'll try to find it and post a picture.
