Nick’s had a long and successful career up to this point, building his own line of Nick Page Guitars and many others. Over the past two years, though, he’s become known to an even wider audience as the main man at Maybach’s Custom Shop, where his unique vision, design and craftsman skills have resulted in some of the world’s finest electric guitars.
