John Page P-1


The P-1 (base price $4325)

Description: The P-1 has a multi-chambered body (5 to 12 chambers depending on wood species and options selected), a 5 piece laminated neck of Eastern Hard Maple and Honduran Mahogany and a contemporary 6 section bridge. It was designed for, as John Page puts it, "a more adult tone than a traditional solid body electric. It is extremely resonant and lively and has lots of over-tones... it's very acoustic." The stock instrument has no body contours or top position markers, but both are available options. Many additional options are available as you will see from the variations in the photos, so please feel free to inquire about anything you might desire.

The P-1sv (base price $3650)

Description: The P-1SV is a solid body version of the P-1. It has a 2 piece Swamp Ash body, a one-piece, quarter-sawn Eastern Hard Rock Maple neck (plus fretboard), and a vintage style bridge with 3 compensated brass saddles. It was designed as a more traditional sounding electric guitar... but a tad richer. The note attack is "immediate" as opposed to the "blooming" notes of the P-1. It's looks are unique yet timeless, like all of the instruments in the John Page line. The stock instrument has front and back body contours and top position markers on the 5th and 12th frets. Many additional options are available so please feel free to inquire about anything you might desire.

Description: The “DL” is a solid body, double cutaway guitar. It has a two-piece Alder body, a one-piece, quarter-sawn, Eastern Hard Rock Maple neck (plus fretboard), 3-P90 pickups, and a 6 saddle hardtail bridge. The sound of the DL is quite different than most P-90 equipped guitars, it is not the muddy, bluesy tone usually associated with these pickups. The tone of the DL has been described as “elegant,” “brilliant” and “centered,” with “glossiness and depth.” The stock instrument has front and back body contours and top position markers on the 5th and 12th frets (full dot option, no additional charge).
