James Tyler Guitars

James Tyler Guitars is a premium California-based builder celebrated for creating some of the most highly-regarded boutique Superstrat and classic T-style guitars in the world. Often instantly recognisable by their vibrant, psychedelic 'Shmear' finishes, James Tyler instruments are revered by top session players for their exceptional neck profiles and unmatched playability. Key to the James Tyler Studio Elite and Retro Classic models are their proprietary pickups (e.g., JTS5500 single-coils and Supercharged Studebaker humbuckers) and unique wiring options. The guitars feature highly comfortable body contours and light-weight, resonant woods. Tyler's philosophy focusses on optimising the instrument for the professional environment, ensuring perfect balance, superb intonation, and a wide tonal palette that sits flawlessly in a mix. A James Tyler Studio Elite or a Tyler Retro is the ultimate choice for the professional guitarist who demands peerless craftsmanship, studio-ready versatility, and a truly customised playing experience.
