Airline 3P FM Charcoal Flame

Story
Something you’d see in a Montgomery Ward catalogue in the ‘50s and ‘60s, the original Res-O-Glas model was the weapon of choice for many blues players of the time, including JB Hutto to whom this model is often attributed. Since then, musicians such as Jack White, PJ Harvey, Calexico and more have discovered the charms and unique character of these original Airlines.
The FM version of the Airline 3P offers something never before seen alongside the iconic Airline stylings: a burst finish on a flamed maple top.
If you're looking for a sound and feel that exudes "Airline", but don't need the full '59 PRO package, this is the one for you. The Airline 3P FM borrows all of the same premium components and build quality from the '59 PRO, but trades the vintage rubber body binding for a more traditional tone-chambered body.
With 5-way switching and independent volume and tone-control knobs for each of the three Airline ‘Vintage Voiced Single Coil’ pickups, we’re confident in saying that there is near-endless tonal variety to be explored. The big question that’s left us stumped: “What can’t this model do?”
