Aaron Dessner’s 2013 Electric Airline Eastwood Guitar
Made for players who say “I get it,” this retro-refined guitar was owned by guitarist Aaron Dessner of the American rock band The National, and played in the making of Trouble Will Find Me, the album that Rolling Stone called the “best record of their career.” The black vintage-style guitar evokes classic looks and is signed by the five members of the band.
