John Page Classic, a new guitar brand that brings the custom-design genius of John Page, co-founder of the Fender Custom Shop, to the world of production guitars, has announced the Ashburn, its initial production model…
To bring you custom design magic from one of the world’s greatest custom luthiers – in a production guitar. That was the vision of Howard Swimmer, Founder & CEO of HRS Unlimited, parent company of John Page Classic guitars and Bloodline® Pickups. And that’s why we call the Ashburn the Custom Production Guitar™. The Ashburn is meticulously designed by John Page to perfectly embody his Uniquely Familiar custom design ethos, built to his exacting standards in Japan and set up in the US by John Page authorized techs.
A double-cutaway, solid body production guitar custom designed by John Page to be “uniquely familiar.” Featuring an extremely comfortable medium “C” shaped grip, threaded bolt neck assembly for greater tone transfer, contoured heel for easier upper fret access, staggered tuners that eliminate the need for string trees, bass justified fret dots for greater visibility, and Bloodline® by John Page JP-1 single coil S-style pickups with contrarian bridge pickup slant.
