What we say:

At A Glance:

This Tyler Japan Studio Elite HD Color Shifting Shmear has been crafted to be the perfect fusion of tradition and innovation.

This head turning guitar features a fantastic Schmear finish that Tyler are famous for, over an alder body and paired with a quartersawn maple neck and fingerboard. With a pair of Tyler JTS5500 single coils and a single Tyler California Special humbucker this guitar has a wide palette of tones that make it suitable for virtually any genre of music, and the G2TS tremolo and locking Hipshot tuners enhance the guitars precision and reliability.

Features We Love:

Tyler Japan

James Tyler began his career by performing guitar upgrades and repairs in the early 70s. Over the next 20 years his reputation for precision work grew and he became a go to luthier of top session players in the LA studio scene. In the late 80s the first Tyler guitar was unveiled, taking everything he'd learned from dealing with musicians and using that knowledge to create the ultimate performers guitar. Since 2014 James Tyler have offered a Japanese made line of guitars which are slightly more affordable but still possess the superior build quality, reliability and unique design that all Tyler guitars are loved for.

Top-Class Pickups

The California Special from Tyler is a high output humbucker, it really packs a punch. With a balanced upper midrange and chunky low end this humbucker can really hit out some hard riffs. Combined with the midboost circuit and you have everything you need from hard rock rhythms to searing solos.

The pair of JTS5500 single coils in the middle and neck positions have been created to work together. The Alnico 5 magnets give the pickups their signature chime and attack, they sound beautiful on clean tones and powerful and precise when overdriven.

High Quality Hardware

To keep everything functioning at both ends we have a set of Hipshot locking tuners and a very smooth G2TS tremolo. The tremolo, complete with steel saddles, allows you precise control over your pitch while the hipshot locking tuners will keep your tuning stable all night long.

Who Is It For?

The player who appreciates Japanese build quality and is looking for a modern take on a classic design.

Highlights:

  • World class design and build quality
  • Versatile tonal options make this guitar a fit for most genres
  • Hipshot locking tuners offer precision tuning
