Sound Pure's Take
Weight: 7.6 lbs.
25 years of vomit!
"Unreal" is the word that comes to mind when thinking of this guitar. Serial #10 (of only 25!) is a deeply resonant guitar with smooth, silky playability (with that signature Tyler flair) all the way up and down the neck. Tonally, the guitar is lively and articulate. Tyler's Super Humbucker paired with the incredible JTS5500 single coils plus the addition of the mid boost allows for the guitar to be as versatile as you could hope.
Everything about this guitar; the finish, the playability, the way it sounds, has exceeded all of our expectations here at the shop.
From James Tyler Guitars
Before you try a high-end guitar for the first time, you respond to your heart. You saw the guitar for the first time and something about it touched you and created such a dose of anticipation in your being that you had to check it out.
The sooner, the better. And when you tracked one down, and held it, looking at it, turning it over and around, soaking up the aesthetic of it all, you realize it's more than just a guitar, it's a piece of art, and the anticipation grows.
You finally find a place to sit, shift yourself around a little until you are comfortable, slide the guitar into place, and really grab the neck for the first time.
You still haven't played a note yet, but you know.This is what everyone is talking about. Now the question is, how, however irresponsible it may be, how are you going to buy it?
When the guitar sounds like magic, you play better. When you play better, you want to just keep on playing.
