The AJ
by John Page
The AJ has a 13” bout, single-cutaway Alder body with stylized front and back contours and a lower horn and neck heel for easy access to the upper frets.
The vintage T-style bridge plate has reverse angled pickup mounting to add more depth to the high strings and alleviate the ice pick highs usually associated with T-styles. The vintage style 3 brass saddles are step-compensated for more accurate intonation, and the controls, including a master volume, master tone, and a 3-position toggle switch, are all rear loaded for a clean, classic look.
Machine Screw/Insert Neck Mounting
The machine screw and Brass insert neck-to-body fastening method not only gives an amazingly strong mechanical bond but also provides better tonal coupling and adds beautiful complexity to the overtones.
Bloodline® Pickups
The Bloodline® JP-3P (P-90) pickup in the neck position is wound to give it more clarity than is normally associated with this style of pickup. Partnered with the JP-3T, a classic T-style bridge pickup at a reverse angle, the two blend to give you a great, full classic tone, excellent clarity, and no ice-pick highs.
Bass Justified Fret Dots
The bass justified fret dots improve player visibility while adding to the aesthetic vibe I always shoot for.
