Arrival of John Page Classic guitars at Sound Nations

John Page Classic, a new guitar brand that brings the custom design genius of John Page*, formerly Fender Custom Shop co-founder and among the greatest living custom luthiers, to its initial production model – the Ashburn.

(* For those of you who don’t really know John here is a little background info about John:

John Page co-founded and led Fender Custom Shop for its first 12 years, and created legendary guitars for artists including Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend, David Gilmour, Elliot Easton and Cesar Rosas. He also designed guitars in conjunction with Harley Davidson, Playboy and Jaguar automobiles.)

The double cutaway, hard body Ashburn was meticulously designed by John Page, produced to his exacting standards in a state of the art workshop in Japan and set up in the US by authorized John Page Classic techs.

The Ashburn offers several John Page custom design advantages: Its threaded machine bolt neck assembly provides superior tone transfer and a unique complexity to overtones and harmonics. It is equipped with new Bloodline by John Page JP-1 pickups, custom voiced by Page and with the bridge pickup reverse-slanted for greater thickness and girth. The Ashburn’s bass-justified fret dots provide greater visibility. Its staggered Gotoh Vintage Style tuners reduce and in most cases eliminate the need for string trees.
