Shimmering Stars - More info?

[Chris Pile]

One of my nieces asked me about a pop band from Canada - Shimmering Stars... She wanted to know what guitar one of the guys is playing.. NOT the Strat, but the sunburst with 3 humbuckers. I recognize the shape from the 60's, but after doing some research I can't find exactly what it might be. I'm thinking a custom. Most photos I've found of the band the guy is playing an Ibanez Talman of some kind (which is fine). Anyone here have better info than mine?

It looks like the typical cheap import of the 60's which were sold by various stores such as Montgomery Wards, Sears, etc. One of the names it was sold as was Airline.

Kinda looks like an old 60s Airline, switch, knobs, 3 hbs, body shape loom about right

Without even watching I had a feeling this would be it.

It's the Eastwood copy of the Airline.

That was fast!!!! I was thinking it was maybe an Airline, but I couldn't find what I was after. KUDOS to the forum guys!

Haha. Yeah I thought it was either an Eastwood or a DiPinto looking at the cutaway style.

Although I was pretty certain it was a DiPinto

The price these days is interesting. Back in the 60s it would cost less than $100.
