They were some of the first electric guitars to feature a Magnesium-Aluminum alloy neck (preceding Travis Bean and Veleno guitars by several years) and also included a built-in “Tone Messer” Fuzztone circuit. The Fuzztone gave a large signal boost and ratty distortion, which would often cause endless feedback in the original, fully hollow body guitars. The new Eastwood Messenger Tribute model retains the unique look and character of the original vintage Messenger guitars while upgrading the playability and functionality by employing a more reliable and feedback resistant semi-hollow wooden construction with a center block and set neck. The unique end of fingerboard neck\/body joint has been preserved for unprecedented access to the upper registers, though the built-in Fuzz has been dropped in favor of more practical and reliable electronics with a pair of Mini Humbuckers, dual volume and tone controls, as well as a 3-way pickup selector. Characteristic “Cat’s Eye” sound holes and the Trans Green finish look great.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures of the Eastwood Guitars Messenger Tribute\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSemi Hollow Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArched Spruce Top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany Back and Sides with Center Block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSent Neck Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBound Fingerboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25.5” Scale Length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 5\/8\" Nut Width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew York Mini Humbuckers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-way Switching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual Volume and Tone Controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNickel \/ Chrome Hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom Chrome Tailpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrover Imperial style tuner buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Sold Separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMake'n Music is Eastwood \/ Airline Guitars USA Warehouse and Factory Outlet shop.
