James Tyler Dann Huff Black Classic

There is something about opening the box holding a new Tyler that is really special. I never fail to get excited, even after 20 years of owning and playing these babies. No matter how many I've played, every one has something unique and special about it. These are not cookie-cutter guitars. There is nothing generic about them. Every Tyler has its own unique voice and story to tell. Every one seems to draw something out of me that inspires me. They're more than guitars you play. They're guitars that you create a bond with.

So here I am, looking at a brand new and scarce Dann Huff model, and already my heart starts beating faster. The black finish appointed with gold hardware is just stunning - a classic James Tyler look. The fantastic '59 neck shape and rolled fingerboard edges are truly seductive. As with all of Jim's guitars, the playability is off the charts. This is a guitar that is truly hard to put down.

It's an LA Studio Classic on steroids. With the quietness of the upgraded Duncan stacks combined with the Huff series/parallel buttons and Tyler's mid-range boost circuitry, you have an extremely versatile-sounding guitar, perfect for stage or studio.

There is something really pleasing about standing back from a guitar, staring, taking it all in, and knowing that everything is where it should be, with nothing to add or take away; it's just perfect.

If you'd like to find out more about this item, just call or e-mail me. It would be my pleasure to talk to you about it.

ABOUT TYLER GUITARS
James Tyler has had a guitar in his hand almost every day since he first picked one up the summer after seventh grade, in 1964. In college, Jim studied Architecture, Design, Music, Photography and for a couple years, Theology. He paid his way through these years of collage doing guitar repair work at local guitar stores, and as a factory trained auto mechanic for Alfa Romeo, Lancia, BMW and Fiat. Later into the 1970’s, he got connected with the guys at Norman’s Rare Guitars in the San Fernando Valley, and became their main repair and restoration guy. Jim’s abilities continued to expand and soon he had enough experience and reputation that he opened his first repair shop in Reseda, CA in 1980. Since then its been a whirlwind of successes, including being chosen to be displayed among the great California guitar companies such as Fender, Rickenbacker, Mosrite and Charvel in the Museum of California's exhibit The Ultimate Guitar Show and building for artists such as Michael Landau, David Williams, Steve Lukather, Michael Anthony, and Dan Huff. James' design shapes and various ground breaking guitar finishes and most recently his line of pickups have virtually transformed the guitar building industry.
