Vintage Airline Guitars were made in the USA between 1958 & 1968 by Valco and sold through Montgomery Ward. Valco also made National and Supro brands.  Original Res-O-Glas models now routinely sell for thousands of dollars. These reissues 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.
