John Page DLS Prototype 002

This guitar is one of the two prototypes John Page made of his new DLS model, the second in the DL series. The body is two-piece Alder with front and back contours, finished in Olympic White, gloss, nitrocellulose lacquer. The neck is one-piece, quarter-sawn, Eastern Hard Rock Maple with a Brazilian Rosewood fretboard, a classic medium “C” shape, 22  nickel silver frets (.047” x .095”), gold Mother of Pearl dots (per my offset design), Sperzel non-locking tuning keys, and is finished in satin nitrocellulose lacquer. It is outfitted with a set of Suhr V-60 pickups, with a reversed slant lead pickup. The reversed slant gives a bit more “beef” out of the treble strings, like a righty strung lefty (think Jimi Hendrix). It has a brushed gold anodized aluminum pickguard and truss rod cover, Hipshot’s 6 saddle hardtail bridge, a 5-position blade-style switch, master volume and master tone controls. As with all of John Page's guitars, the neck is bolted to the body using four recessed ¼” custom connector bolts, for optimum neck to body tonal transference and responsiveness.
