James Tyler Studio Elite HD Electric Guitar - Fire Shmear

James Tyler Studio Elite HD - Fire Shmear

Step into the realm of custom-shop excellence with the James Tyler Studio Elite HD, a guitar that masterfully blends iconic design with modern playability and scorching tone, all adorned in a captivating Fire Shmear finish. This isn't just a guitar; it's a statement, a testament to James Tyler's legacy of crafting instruments that feel like an extension of your musical soul. The resonant alder body, a classic tonewood choice, lays down a solid foundation for rich, balanced tones, while the stunning birdseye maple neck provides a fast, comfortable playing experience that's second to none.

The heart of this tone machine lies in its HSS (Humbucker, Single-coil, Single-coil) pickup configuration, featuring the powerful JTS5500 single coils in the neck and middle positions, and a biting Shark humbucker at the bridge. This versatile setup, combined with the intuitive 5-way switch and a mid-boost preamp, allows you to sculpt everything from crystal-clear cleans to searing leads, with plenty of "kick" when you need it most. Imagine the legendary Michael Landau, a long-time Tyler enthusiast, effortlessly coaxing expressive tones from a similar instrument – that's the kind of sonic canvas this Studio Elite HD offers. Whether you're laying down funky rhythms, delivering soulful blues licks, or unleashing fiery rock solos, this guitar is ready to be your ultimate expressive tool.
