The "Electric Spanish" line from Gibson has become synonymous with Jazz Guitar, having been used by just about every player since their original inception in the late 1940's. "D" or dual pickup models would be prized amongst rock guitarists having versatility with their two pickups - making them some of the most famed and touted instruments of all time.
