Authorized dealer corner: Tyler Guitars, a note from Craig

I'm proud to say that I've been an authorized Tyler Guitars dealer since the day I opened CR Guitars. But my history with James Tyler goes back much further - I've been an avid fan for 30 years, and James made many guitars for me even before I dreamed of opening CR Guitars. As a studio musician, I owned some of his early guitars, and when I opened CR Guitars in 2011, Tyler was one of the first luthiers I partnered with. In my well-seasoned judgment, James Tyler was clearly one of the best electric guitar builders out there. Since James's recent passing, Rich Renkin, the general manager and longtime associate of Jim's has been leading the Tyler staff forward toward an exciting future.

I like to remind folks that as an authorized dealer, I can help facilitate special custom builds through Tyler Guitars. I hope you'll consider this option - it's a process that can be incredibly rewarding.
