Sound Pure's Take

Experience quintessential West Coast boutique performance with the James Tyler L.A. Studio Classic! Tipping the scales at a well-balanced 7 lbs 7 oz, this California-built instrument features an alder body in a warm Vintage Natural finish paired with a tortoise pickguard. The quartersawn maple neck boasts a classic ST64 profile, semi-gloss tinted neck finish, a 1-5/8" nut, and an Indian rosewood fingerboard appointed with wide/tall frets and white mother-of-pearl dot inlays. Its versatile HSS pickup configuration pairs a duo of Seymour Duncan Classic Stacks in the neck and middle with Tyler's powerful "Secret" humbucker in the bridge. Equipped with Tyler's legendary active midboost preamp, series/parallel switching, and preamp bypass controls, it allows you to instantly transform glassy vintage chime into fat, lead-ready drive. Complete with a G2TS 2-point tremolo, Hipshot locking tuners, chrome hardware, and a original hardshell case, this L.A. Studio Classic delivers unmatched studio versatility and effortless playability.
