They are all mass produced, bolt together guitars made out of cheap wood and cheap parts. So, NONE of these guitars were "well" made. All 3, Kay/Harmony/Airline, made identical models of guitar and slapped different logos on them (see Airline/Harmony/Kay bobkat). Fact is - Airline guitar's are in line with Kay/Harmony and all 3 are "garbage guitars" (this is subjective). Please review the pictures closely and contact me with any questions or concerns.All 3 of the other guys who posted here are jokers. The case hardware is still in tact and useable.
The case is in fair to good condition with the typical wear one would expect on a chipboard case of this age. The case is original and made of coated black chipboard. The chrome hardware is slightly pitted from age and the bridge cover has several deeper scratches (see pics)
There is a volume knob, tone knob and slider switch to change the tone. The DeArmond gold foil pick up is original and sounds very cool and vintage. The headstock still has the original "Airline" logo and the tuner keys are original and workable. The neck is straight with no cracks and the action is low making it very easy to play. It has no cracks in the wood body, neck or headstock and is still very solid and playable. This guitar is over 50 years old and has normal amount of wear for it's age with small dings, dents and chips as can be seen in the pictures.
