My New James Tyler SE HD

[davedvdy]

2 JTV singles and a Duncan Trembucker w/mid boost.

The first time I picked it up and plugged it in, I noticed a HUGE difference over every single Strat I have played, owned. VERY resonant and the feel of the necks are just incredible. The 2-point Wilkinson bridge w/the bent saddles feels and sounds very close to a 6-screw! The body is made of Mamywo (sp?), great tone wood, has firm lows, and is less bright than Alder.

Very expensive, but worth every penny, and I will buy another shortly. I didn't like the Dimarzio Virtual Vintages, and James installed 2 real singles in it that are wound at the Tyler Shop here in Los Angeles, and they sound VERY chimey.

Beautiful guitar! If I was looking for the ultimate H-S-S setup, I'm pretty sure Tyler would be it. That mamywo wood always looked real interesting too, I've only seen Tyler ever use it and it always gets good reviews from players.

It is one of the very best superstrats I ever had tried.
I have tried a Landau and a Huff, plus an old Ultimate Weapon sofar
Awesome guitars!
Totally great players!

Wow thats a gorgeous top!!! How much are they if you don't mind me asking? It looks very 3 dimensional... VERY nice burst colour too. All the best.

Looks like an awesome HSS strat.

Though - Tyler headstocks make me feel like stabbing from time to time.

Sweetness! I love the fact that Tyler goes out of his way to do something different with a classic design. I've fallen in love with any Tyler I've picked up, but never gotten serious about the dough needed to aquire one.

That is a very interesting headstock

Very nice. I like how Tyler's guitars have a distinctive look compared to other superstrats. I especially like the vomit and schmear finishes.

Are Tyler doing the stainless frets thing like Suhr and Anderson? -I've tried a bunch of Suhrs and each one of them has been fantastic except for the stainless frets. Ugly bright.
