The James Tyler Studio Elite in Satin Black with Black Shmear and Turquoise Tint is a striking instrument that balances refined elegance with the unmistakable character of a true working guitar. Its Alder body wears a matte finish accented by a Black Shmear, while the Turquoise Tint Faux matching headstock adds a subtle flash of color and individuality. Weighing in at just 7 lbs 8 oz, it has the presence of a serious instrument without ever feeling cumbersome.
The quartersawn Maple neck features James Tyler's Standard 64 neck shape, paired with a Maple fretboard, 1 5/8" nut width, and Wide Tall frets. Hipshot locking tuners provide dependable tuning stability, while the G2TS bridge anchors the instrument with precision and authority. The result is a neck and hardware combination that feels immediate, comfortable, and purpose-built for expressive playing.
Its HCS-Stingray 500 coils in the neck and middle positions are joined by a California Special bridge pickup, creating a versatile tonal palette that moves effortlessly from glassy articulation to muscular, singing lead tones. The electronics include a 5-way selector, master volume, and boost, with a Mid-Boost preamp featuring a bypass button. The lead/rhythm circuit, series/parallel switching, and add neck & bridge options open the door to an exceptionally broad range of sounds, allowing the guitar to shift naturally with the player and the music.
Complete with its original hard case, this Studio Elite is an instrument built around nuance, response, and versatility. The combination of its understated Satin Black finish, Turquoise Tint details, carefully voiced pickup configuration, and extensive switching makes it equally at home under studio lights or on a stage. It is a beautifully considered James Tyler that rewards touch, invites exploration, and carries the unmistakable spirit of a finely crafted instrument.
