{"product_id":"james-tyler-studio-elite-hd-usa-2023","title":"James Tyler Studio Elite HD - USA 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eFew modern guitars have developed quite the reputation of a James Tyler Studio Elite HD. Built around the needs of serious working players, the Studio Elite has long been associated with the LA session world, combining exceptional playability with an enormously versatile electronics package and Tyler’s unmistakable aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 2023 example, serial #23498, is a particularly striking build finished in Black Shmear with a semi gloss finish, complemented by a black headstock and silver Explogo. Underneath is a lightweight alder body paired with a quartersawn maple neck and a beautifully dark Macassar ebony fingerboard. It was specified from the factory with Tyler’s Thin neck profile, wide\/tall frets and white mother of pearl inlays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pickup configuration is classic Tyler HSS, with a pair of JTS5500 single coils in the neck and middle positions and a California Special humbucker at the bridge. Tyler’s onboard Midboost preamp with bypass greatly expands what is already an extremely versatile guitar, allowing everything from open, articulate single coil sounds through to considerably thicker and more powerful lead tones without losing the fundamental character of the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware includes Tyler’s G2TS tremolo, Hipshot locking tuners, chrome hardware and black dome knobs. At just 7 lbs 8 oz (approximately 3.40 kg), it is also remarkably comfortable for a guitar with this much versatility on tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompleted on October 13, 2023, this Studio Elite HD comes with its original G\u0026amp;G hard shell case, factory paperwork and documentation, including the original James Tyler instrument order sheet confirming the specification of the guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA superb example of what James Tyler does best: unconventional looks, exceptional build quality and the sort of effortless playability and tonal flexibility that made these guitars such a fixture among professional players in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAction at 1st Fret: 0.25mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAction at 12th Fret: 1.50mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck Depth at 1st Fret: 21.00mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck Depth at 12th Fret: 25.00mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNut Width: 1 11\/16\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth at 12th Fret: 52.60mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 7 lbs 8 oz (3.40 kg)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel: James Tyler Studio Elite HD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYear: 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerial Number: 23498\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody: Alder\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck: Quartersawn Maple\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck Profile: Thin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFingerboard: Macassar Ebony\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFingerboard Inlays: White Mother of Pearl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrets: Wide\/Tall\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePickup Configuration: HSS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck Pickup: JTS5500 Single Coil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMiddle Pickup: JTS5500 Single Coil\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBridge Pickup: California Special Humbucker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronics: 5 Way Switching, Midboost Preamp with Preamp Bypass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish: Black Shmear, Semi Gloss\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeadstock: Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeadstock Logo: Silver Explogo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePickguard: Black\/White\/Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBridge: G2TS Tremolo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTuners: Hipshot Locking\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware: Chrome\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnobs: Black Dome\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrings: 10s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCase: Original G\u0026amp;G Hard Shell Case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccessories: Original Factory Paperwork and James Tyler Instrument Order Sheet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompleted: October 13, 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted in: USA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James Tyler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48895331991705,"sku":"26174","price":11995.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0283\/1905\/6012\/files\/1_fe246ba1-db30-4b7f-a686-7f6bb0491b61.png?v=1787199191","url":"https:\/\/www.premierguitars.com.au\/products\/james-tyler-studio-elite-hd-usa-2023","provider":"Premier Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
