Airline by Valco Professional Res-O-Glass White 1964 – Original Case, Vintage USA Made, Iconic Tone & Style

No sales tax for customers outside California.

A truly fine and 97.5% original example of the hard-to-find Airline Professional.

The tune-o-matic bridge is the only changed part.

I was definitely the first one to open the resoglass body.  It is pristine inside!  The wiring is really skillfully done too - pretty amazing!  

The guitar has been played but was well cared for.  The frets are low, but they started out that way.  The original case is in excellent condition.

The 1964 Airline by Valco Professional in White Res-O-Glass is a rare and iconic vintage electric guitar that embodies the bold mid-century design and unique sound that has made Airline guitars legendary. Built in Chicago by Valco—the same factory that produced Supro and National guitars—this model features the distinctive Res-O-Glass fiberglass body with a chambered wood core, offering lightweight comfort and a tone unlike anything else.

The dual single-coil pickups deliver a raw, punchy voice perfect for garage rock, blues, and indie, while the short-scale neck enhances playability. The white finish with raised Airline logo and retro hardware captures the space-age aesthetic that made these guitars favorites of players like Jack White.

This example is in excellent vintage condition and comes complete with its original hard case, making it not only a playable vintage treasure but also a highly collectible piece of American guitar history. For players or collectors looking for something truly different, the 1964 Airline Professional offers unmistakable tone, style, and heritage.
