Tyler Classic Vintage Silver

Based on a legendary classic, James Tyler Classic S style is a masters vision of what this style guitar could and should be.

This is the first time I've seen a vintage silver "Dupont" finish from Tyler (the "Dupont" refers to the color codes that Fender used back in the day). His silver is really gorgeous - a metallic hue that changes with the light.  I liked it so much that I immediately ordered another.

Jim will not stand for anything that is less than perfect, and believe me, he really nailed the look and feel on this Classic. Its light swamp ash gives this guitar that certain spank you covet, but without any associated brittleness. The tone is woody with a hint of compression and mid range scoop. The Tyler Studebaker Humbucker (in the bridge position) is a great match for the JTS5500 single coils. It's not overwhelming in power and has great detail, articulation and touch sensitivity. The Tyler neck shape and feel is legendary and this guitar is no exception. It plays like a dream. For me, the Tyler Classic model is as good as you can get if you are looking for a traditional S style guitar with muscle and a whole lot of attitude.

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.
