Fender Custom John Page Founders Design Double F-Hole Esquire Electric Guitar Natural

Fender Custom John Page Founders Design Double F-Hole Esquire Electric Guitar Natural Item Description

John Page designed this guitar in his early days of the Fender Custom Shop, originally called the Page-o-Caster. Only a handful were built back them. As a songwriter, John Page wanted a super resonant and lightweight electric guitar that he could play without having to always plug in – thus the double F-hole design. The Double F-Hole Thinline Esquire has a roasted Genuine Mahogany body and natural finish. It features John Page’s JP Woodtone ebony saddles, and in lieu of the original “Page-o-caster” spruce top, John chose a highly figured koa top as a tribute to his mentor Freddie Tavares, a creator of the Fender Stratocaster. “He was my mentor,” he said. “That was my little piece of Freddie that I wanted to put in there just so I never forget where I came from, and who I owe it to.”
