Title: Unknown guitar - picture from 2015
Post by: MK_live on October 18, 2015, 02:53:38 PM

Hi everyone,  I just received a picture of MK and RB holding guitars on stage. When you look at the pass hanging on RB's neck, it is taken during the Tracker tour. Does anyone know when the photo was taken and what kind of guitar this actually is?

No. They're John Page Guitars. The model is Ashburn.

As can be seen in this picture (the origional source):

Also Richard wrote about it:
Just before sound check both Mark and I were introduced to a new guitar line designed by John Page who worked for Fender for many years and started their custom shop back in the 1980s.  After John left Fender he began building beautiful custom instruments and has recently partnered with Howard Swimmer to design and manufacture John Page Classics… a custom-production guitar.  Howard brought two guitars that Mark and I played and we took to them straight away.  The look, quality, feel and sound are all immediately evident.  Check these instruments out, and by the way, you won’t believe how downright affordable they are:  www.johnpageclassic.com
