The James Tyler Studio Elite in Satin Black with Alien Guano is a refined expression of boutique guitar craftsmanship, combining elegant aesthetics, exceptional playability, and an expansive tonal palette. Its Alder body is finished in a sophisticated matte Satin Black, complemented by distinctive Alien Guano faux matching that adds a unique visual character. Weighing 7 lbs 7 oz, the instrument offers a comfortable balance of resonance, sustain, and effortless performance, making it equally at home in the studio or on stage.
The quartersawn Maple neck features James Tyler's Standard 64 neck shape, paired with a Maple fretboard and Wide Tall frets for a smooth, confident playing experience. The 1 5/8" nut provides a comfortable string layout, while Hipshot locking tuners offer reliable tuning stability and convenient string changes. A G2TS bridge anchors the instrument with a solid, responsive feel, while Dome-style knobs complete the clean and purposeful control layout.
Tonally, this Studio Elite is equipped with HCS-Stingray 500 coils in the neck and middle positions and a California Special bridge pickup, offering a broad spectrum of articulate, dynamic voices. The controls include a 5-way selector, volume, boost, and tone, while the Mid-Boost preamp with bypass button provides additional tonal shaping when desired. The lead and rhythm circuit, series and parallel switching, and add-neck-and-bridge function further expand the instrument's sonic range, allowing everything from clear, glassy textures to fuller and more powerful tones.
Finished with the distinctive character expected from a James Tyler instrument, this Studio Elite brings together premium materials, sophisticated electronics, and exceptional attention to detail. The combination of Satin Black, Alien Guano faux matching, quartersawn Maple, versatile pickup configurations, and extensive switching makes it an exceptionally expressive and adaptable guitar. Supplied with its hard case, this Studio Elite is a complete professional instrument designed to inspire precision, creativity, and musical expression.
