If you aren't familiar with the name John Page, don't assume that this is a Strat 'wannabe' guitar by some unknown guitar company. John Page was a co-founder Fender's Custom Shop and managed it for over 12 years.

"After nearly 40 years as a guitar designer and builder, I was shooting for a richer, more complex tone. The neck interaction with the body is critical in achieving this complexity, as are the material choices and electronics. Fluid lines, rich and chimey tones, effortless playability and fretboard access… lessons learned leading to this particular moment.”

With signature Bloodline pickups by John Page, a ultra comfortable medium "C" profile, threaded bolt neck assembly for greater tone transfer, contoured heel for easier upper fret access, and staggered tuners that eliminate the need for string trees, the Ashburn combines all of those lessons learned over the years into one affordable package. The Ashburn is a phenomenal value for a Master Design instrument.

 

The Bloodline pickups are very versatile single coil pickups and if you are familiar, they can really nail the early Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits tone.
