"When I started my own custom guitar shop in 2006, the first guitar I designed and released was the P-1. A 14” bout, single-cutaway body with a humbucker in the neck and a T-style pickup in the bridge. It was my take on a customized guitar that I had played for many, many years. A few years later, I decided that the 14” bout was a bit large for most people and, as much as I liked the humbucker in the neck, I thought a P-90 would match the T-style bridge pickup a bit better. So I decided it was time that original P-1 evolved. Since this guitar was the offspring of my first design, I thought it should be named after my first born, my son, Adam John. Thus the “AJ” was named and became a wonderful addition to my guitar family." - John Page
The AJ was designed by John Page and then produced to his exacting standards in a state of the art workshop in Japan. It was then set up in the US by authorized John Page Classic techs.

Slow is Smooth - Smooth is Fast
This ornate axe is perfect for the six-string gunslinger that wants to rock hard.
Teye's mentor, Tony Zemaitis, imparted many of El Pistolero's foundational features. However, this guitar's evolution resulted in improved versatility and increased power.
The El Pistolero features Teye's original MOOD circuit. On its own, it performs complex equalization. In conjunction with the powerful DiMarzio pickups, the MOOD circuit creates a broad palate of tones.
That is what impresses me the most: El Pistolero's versatility. I love the simplicity and honesty of a traditional passive electronics guitar but this one has a wider palette of sweet tones. This guitar exceeds my expectations in a way I can't recall before. Plus... it looks really cool!

Each of Josh Grove's Protocaster Guitars is a unique instrument with a distinct voice. This Ess-type is a finished with a masterfully aged Mary Kaye Blonde and appointed with beautifully faded gold hardware. The neck with its hand-carved shape feels substantial and comfortable. The Peter Florance pickups sound sweet and chimey.
Distortion Brothers is proud to sell Protocaster Guitars. Each one seems have a different backstory. This sense of "dues paid" is inherent in all of them. You really do need to check them out to fully appreciate it.

The Echopark DT Standard Series is here! To kickoff the move from Los Angeles to Detroit, Gabriel Currie has developed this new line of guitars and has made them exclusively available through a select group of authorized dealers. Distortion Brothers goes way back with Echopark Guitars and we are stoked to be part of this new evolution.
Echopark now makes two series of guitars. The DT Series, which is the acronym for Detroit, is made with a Working Musician's budget in mind. The DT Series employs a choice selection of the same quality components used in the Handcrafted Series.
This Echocaster is serial number DT-002 and it has a few, well-suited custom appointments. Its 1-piece Alder body is finished in Sonic Blue, it has amp-style knobs, and it is nicely custom aged. Gabriel Currie made some last-minute changes to make this Echocaster come alive: a Strat-style pickup in the neck and a white pickguard. In two of the photos below, you can see it with its original Tele-style pickup and black pickguard.
Gabriel also signed the back of this guitar's headstock. This Echocaster comes with a hard-shell case and a signed certificate of authenticity. It is ready to rock and roll!
