WAYS TO PAY:
The Studio Elite HD sets itself apart in this range by getting back to basics - whilst looking far from it, thanks to the Golden Blueberry Shmear Semi Gloss finish. This Shmear finish is like a guitar fingerprint with no 2 looking the same!
Body: The Studio Elite HD is crafted from solid swamp ash, a tonewood known for its bright resonant tone and light weight. This gives the guitar a sweet sound with strong low-end and snappy highs.
Neck and Fretboard: The neck is made from quartersawn maple, paired with a maple fretboard. This combination provides exceptional stability, smooth playability, and a bright, punchy tonal character. Featuring a comfortable Standard neck, this guitar feels amazing to play on with a 1959 Oval neck shape measuring .845" at the 1st fret and .975" at 12th. A 10"-12" compound radius helps to keep chords easy to fret on the lower frets and stops bends fretting out on the higher frets. Paired with a 1 11/16" nut width and wide/tall frets for a familiar feel.
Pickups: The guitar features an HSS (Humbucker-Single-Single) configuration with JTS5500 pickups in the neck and middle positions, and a Super humbucker in the bridge. The JTS5500 pickups utilise Alnico 5 magnets and offer more attack, chime, and power than traditional single-coil pickups, making them full, balanced, and responsive across the tonal spectrum. The Super humbucker in the bridge provides a strong low end, plenty of top-end sparkle, and excels in high-gain settings, making it ideal for rock and modern music styles.
Electronics: The control system features a 5-way blade switch, master volume, midboost preamp, and master tone controls. The active midboost preamp is a high gain/low impedance circuit that gives you lower lows and higher highs with a 2dB volume increase - on top of this, you can utilise the midboost control to increase the mids and output further. This preamp can be bypassed easily with the touch of a button for passive tones or added in to give some extra "oomf" at the perfect moments. The second button is to add both the neck and (coil-split) bridge pickups to your sound, no matter what position your pickup selector is in, for an ultimately versatile switching setup. It also features individual series/parallel buttons for each pickup.
Bridge and Hardware: The Studio Elite HD is equipped with a Gotoh two-post tremolo with James Tyler branded bent steel saddles, offering excellent tuning stability and smooth performance. Locking Hipshot tuners add to the guitar's reliability, ensuring that it stays in tune even during heavy playing sessions.
Case: The guitar comes with a Tyler Signature Hardshell Case, providing premium protection and durability.
