Airline

Airline Guitars is an independent musical instrument guitar company based in Chicago, Illinois. Originally introduced as a store brand by Montgomery Ward in 1923, Airline was produced from the late 1950s to the 1970s alongside a range of consumer electronics, including radios, televisions, and record players. In the early 2000s, Eastwood Guitars acquired the rights to the Airline brand and reissued several classic models. In 2024, Airline Guitars became an independent company under new family ownership in Chicago, dedicated to producing retro-inspired electric guitars, bass guitars, guitar amplifiers, and guitar accessories, blending vintage aesthetics with modern craftsmanship.
