CRAIG'S POV

James Tyler is one of the most consistent and gifted guitar builders out there; I still need to find out how he achieves such sustained excellence. The beauty you see here is a brand new, extraordinarily stunning Tyler SE HD in White Shmear. This example has a lightweight, resonant alder body that is acoustically alive.

Plugged in, it sears and rips and has that beautiful Strat tone you love without being quacky or edgy.

The Tyler single coil JTS5500 in the first two positions gives that warmth, with fantastic articulation and harmonic content, great for complex chords and open strings, and the Tyler Super in the bridge position just rips.

I could go on and on. And if you contact me, I'd be happy to. What would you like to talk about? The legendary Tyler neck shape? The rolled fingerboard edges? The fretwork? The amazing finish? Or any other reason to find out more about why this is one of the best S-style guitars by anyone, anywhere, that is available today.

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.
