The Ashburn
White Ashburn guitar on side, neck to the right.
by John Page

Named after my daughter Ashley, this guitar has a double-cutaway, 13" lower bout body, and an Eastern Hard Maple neck available with multiple fretboard options that feature a 12" radius and 22 Jescar .047" x .095" Nickel Silver frets.

The core model Ashburn has a vintage style 6-saddle tremolo bridge, 3 S-style single coil pickups with reversed bridge pickup angle, master volume and tone controls, and a 5-position lever switch.

Machine Screw/Insert Neck Mounting

The Medium C neck is extremely comfortable and provides an ideal amount of mass to become a key component in the tone production, especially when coupled to the body with over-sized machine screws, specially designed grommets, and solid Brass threaded inserts.

Bass-Justified Fret Dots

The instrument also features my bass justified fret dots for improved player visibility, and front and back body contours for player comfort.
