    "​Prior to the late 1990s, this guitar might have been known—to the relatively few players who took a real interest—as the “J. B. Hutto model” after the Chicago bluesman who made one his main squeeze for many years. One glance at that synthetic red beauty today, though, and you're likely to declare, “Hey, that's Jack White's guitar!” Although White has played other electrics, the Airline Res-O-Glas is the one with which White Stripes fans most closely associate him. And it makes sense: this oddly shaped, molded fiberglass creation (also dubbed the “Jetsons model,” understandably) is perfect representation of the White Stripes' music and garage rock in general ... We're not sure quite what the actual sales figures were, but wouldn't you love to know just how many kids in the early 1960s flipped through that Montgomery Ward Catalog (where these guitars were originally retailed), pointed to the space-aged red beauty on the page, and said, “I'm having that for Cristmas!” "
