Description
James Tyler Guitarworks Studio Elite HDX - Malibu Beach Schmear
The James Tyler Studio Elite HDX is a modern player's dream, a testament to the master craftsmanship and innovation that James Tyler is known for. This particular model, with its stunning Malibu Beach Schmear finish, is a head-turner, but its beauty is more than skin deep. It's built on a foundation of premium tonewoods, featuring a Mamywo body with a unique bent top. Mamywo is a tonewood prized for its light weight and balanced tonal characteristics, offering a resonant and articulate foundation for your sound. The quartersawn maple neck with an Indian rosewood fingerboard provides a stable and comfortable playing experience with a ST59 profile that feels fast and familiar in your hand.
But what truly sets this guitar apart are its electronics. The HSS pickup configuration, featuring JTS5500 single-coils in the neck and middle positions and a Super humbucker in the bridge, delivers an incredible range of tones, from glassy cleans to powerful, saturated leads. The JTS5500s are known for their sweet, vintage-inspired single-coil sound, while the Super humbucker provides the heat and girth you need for rock and blues. But the real magic lies in the onboard Midboost preamp, which allows you to dial in an extra dose of punch and sustain for soaring solos. This, combined with the Bridge only Series/Parallel and "Add Neck & Bridge" features, makes this guitar incredibly versatile, capable of covering a vast array of genres. James Tyler guitars have been the go-to instruments for countless session legends like Dann Huff, Michael Landau, and David Williams, whose work on Michael Jackson’s "Billie Jean" solidified the Tyler legacy.
