Sound Pure's Take
Handcrafted in California, this rare James Tyler USA 250 Studio Elite HDX (#12 of 25) showcases Tyler's iconic, head-turning Red, White and Blue Shmear semi-gloss finish paired with a faux matching white shmear headstock. Built on a lightweight alder body (7 lbs 10 oz) with a quartersawn maple neck and Indian rosewood fingerboard, it features the comfortable ST64 neck shape, white mother-of-pearl dot inlays, and wide/tall frets for buttery bending and effortless speed. Loaded with a versatile HSS pickup configuration featuring a slanted Super humbucker in the bridge and dual JTS5500 single-coils in the middle and neck, it is backed by Tyler’s renowned onboard Midboost Preamp with a bypass button for seamlessly shifting from pristine glass to fat, studio-ready lead punch. Complete with a G2TS tremolo bridge, Hipshot locking tuners, chrome hardware, and a limited signature logo on the back, it stands as a pinnacle collectible for modern S-style aficionados.
