Sound Pure's Take
This is a rare iteration of a fantastic model from one of the most unique builders out there: James Tyler Guitars! With guitars made by Tyler, you either know, or don't...but once you DO know, it's a transcendant experience. These guitars just do exactly what guitars should do, and are what all guitars should be.
This particular example celebrates Tyler's 35th anniversary and comes with every bell and whistle out of the mad scientist department therein. Series/parallel switches, a mid boost, a rhythm/lead circuit, and a 5 way switch with an HSS setup...if there's a sound you can't get out of this thing, you aren't looking hard enough!
And, the playability has no alternative, no better comparison - there simply isn't a guitar that plays better than this one does. It doesn't "almost" play itself, it just plays itself. There is no fight and no fuss, anything you wanna do, this guitar can do. This is what a good guitar hopes it can be.
We at SoundPure are happy to present, from our friends at Tyler Guitars, the 35th Anniversary Studio Elite 1987. Do NOT miss this guitar!
