That Black Mamba is interesting...It has 1 (ONE) "humbucking pickups". https://www.givson.com/product-details?id=70

Also interesting is that the description of this item refers to it as a "Spanish Guitar"

Well, the original Gibson ES comes from Electric Spanish so it's natural that Givson also uses those terms

I am happy they put the registered trademark symbol on there, so, you know, no one copies them.

Yes, but the first ES's were thick hollow bodies which had some similarity to Spanish guitars AND were also electric. These are thin solid body electrics with NO similarity to Spanish guitars. And they have one humbucker which is also two humbuckers.

I agree with Mincer, these should be trademarked so nobody copies them!

I think the whole spanish thing came around to differentiate it from the hawaiian guitars, i.e. lap guitars.

Imagine if the maker's family name is, indeed "Givson". Lol
