Sound Pure's Take

Weight: 7.15 lbs.

This James Tyler Classic has become exactly that - an instant classic. The Sherwood Green beauty has dropped jaws and turned heads all around the SoundPure office, and we are all in love. A masterfully constructed guitar with an Alder body and all Maple neck/fingerboard makes for an illustrious vintage machine oozing out that bright and spanky spunk.

The JTS5250 pickups located all throughout the body just embody single coil goodness. A great vintage tone with a relative spank in the mids and unreal natural presence create a bright and snappy strat tone just cutting through the mix. The pickups breathe nicely, very touch dynamic and sensitive to even the smallest nuances in your playing. This enables you to dig in and get the touch dynamic grit you want without muddy'ing up the tone. A well rounded and large sonic spectrum allows access to almost all dimensions of tonal shaping - you will be hard pressed to find a spot in the 5-way configuration that does not sound good. 

This Sherwood Green Classic has everything you need in a lifetime guitar - sounds great, feels great, and looks great. With all the grounds from pop to rock, and country to funk covered, there's virtually no territory you can't venture into with this guitar!
