Airline Guitars Twin Tone – The Duke Signature
Duke Robillard Signature Model Electric Guitar
Also known as Mike Robillard earlier in his career, the Duke is a founding member of the respected Roomful of Blues band, which has been active since 1967. A seasoned player with a career spanning many decades, Duke knows his way around guitars! The Airline Twin Tone has long been his weapon of choice, so the time was right to release a signature version of the Twin Tone in a stunning Sunburst finish with flamed Maple top! This upgraded version of the Twin Tone also features a push/pull knob for phase control, and reflector knobs.
The Airline Twin Tone is a tribute to the vintage Supro Dual Tone model electric guitar. Vintage Airline Guitars were made in the USA between 1958 and 1968 by Valco and sold through Montgomery Ward. Valco also made guitars under the National and Supro brand names. Today these vintage electric guitars are highly prized by collectors and have been made famous again after being rediscovered by many of today’s influential guitar players. These reissues from Airline Guitars are fantastically fun and a killer bang for the buck! They also play as good as they look thanks to a number of enhancements to the construction and playability vs their vintage counterparts, including modern quality necks with good action and frets, as well as great sounding pickups.
