Baxendale '60s Airline Archtop Conversion

Built in the late '50s/early '60s by Kay for the Montgomery Ward catalog, these Airline archtop guitars were intended to satisfy the desires of aspiring musicians who couldn't afford fancy, high-dollar archtop guitars. At 15.5" across on the lower bout and sporting prominent f-holes, these archtops certainly captured the right vibe, but even though they were built with solid Spruce tops, they were never built to be functional, long-lasting instruments. Over the years, most have become wall-hangers at best. Fortunately, Scott Baxendale and his team of luthiers in Athens, Ga., recognize the potential of these groovy archtop guitars and regularly remanufacture them. In doing so, they totally, re-build, re-brace, and re-voice these instruments, giving them new life and world class tone with no shortage of authentic mojo. These inspiring instruments are an exceptional value, and they're an incredible way to recycle and repurpose old axes. This Baxendale '60s Silvertone Airline Archtop Conve
