John Page Guitars is proud to announce an agreement with Zenbu Japan Company Limited, to be the exclusive distributor of John Page Guitars’ instruments and music related products in Japan. Located in Osaka, Zenbu Japan was founded by Isao Inoue in 1986, and specializes in high quality fretted stringed instruments.

Mr. Inoue is quick to point out that “High quality does not just mean good looking and high priced. It must be exceptional in tone, playability and detail as well. I want to represent builders who know how to create excellent instruments through their mastery of techniques and selection and use of top quality materials. I love representing American builders with original ideas. John Page is one of those builders, and we are extremely excited to be his representative in Japan”. As the bass player in the Osaka City based band “The Yonosuke & Homerun Brothers”, Isao is well qualified to speak of the instruments he represents as an active, working player and not just a distributor.

“I am very pleased to enter this relationship with Zenbu Japan.” John Page, of John Page Guitars, says. “Mr. Inoue and his associates have represented many of my friends and their fine products for many years, and came to me with the highest recommendations. I have great trust in them and their abilities, and I look forward to a long and successful partnership.”
