Chris McQueen (Snarky Puppy) just played the prototype of his signature AJ, dropping 2027

Our first Ash-body DL. No filter needed - light hitting raw ash grain under a glass-smooth sienna burst

This is just light hitting raw ash grain under a glass-smooth sunburst finish. Every DL we build is a one-off because the wood dictates the figure, and this one came out doing exactly what we hoped for.
Quick specs on this build:
Ash body, cherry sunburst

Our own Bloodline P90s + reverse-angle bridge single coil (our signature design, takes those ice pick highs), 5-way switch

Rosewood fretboard with Private Reserve inlay, top-justified fret dots, ebony tuner knobs

Built by hand in Delaware, OH by our master builder, Chase Gullett. Happy to answer any questions about the build process, wood selection, or finish work in the comments.

John Page Guitars just launched the Baritone AJ and DL, featuring Chris McQueen (Snarky Puppy) and Matt Muehling (Kill Tony)

John Page (Fender Custom Shop co-founder) just dropped a baritone collection built on a pretty clever idea: instead of redesigning the body for a longer scale, they kept the AJ and DL bodies completely identical and put all the engineering into the neck. 27" scale, 23 frets, same balance and ergonomics as the standard models. They're designed to feel as familiar as possible so you can get inspired the second you pick one up, not spend your time re-adjusting your form.

The launch video features Chris McQueen (Snarky Puppy) on the AJ and Matt Muehling (Kill Tony) on the DL, both playing and talking about how it feels coming from a standard scale.

$4,495, same price as the standard AJ/DL models.

Our first batch of ash body DLs are just about ready for final assembly.

There’s a fourth (not pictured) finished in a beautiful trans cherry. Which one’s your favorite?

John Page x Yordan Sucks Art Guitar Collab

This ML Custom art guitar is the first collaboration I’ve done with my friend and artist, Yordan Sucks. I created the ML model (named after my daughter Monique Lanae) primarily for the Asian market over a decade ago, this is one of very few ever offered here in the US. I personally hand-built this one, completing it on June 1st, 2026.

I've had the pleasure and honor to work with some amazing visual artists in my career and with each collaboration I'm always trying to venture into new territory. This work with Yordan Sucks is unlike anything I have ever created, and it's been a total hoot. The artwork inspired me to create the stunning bright pink and totally unique pickguard shape and continue the accent to include the backplate and tuning key button “X” inlays. This exciting splash of color highlights the detail in the sea of detailed black and white artwork that he spent countless hours to create.

This guitar represents one of very few instruments that I personally build anymore and a departure from what I think most people expect from me… I think that’s why it’s one of my favorites.
