2025 James Tyler USA Studio Elite HD P Arctic Shmear!
Here is another beauty from James Tyler Guitars out of Los Angeles — a Studio Elite HD-P in Arctic Mint Shmear, custom ordered with some really great specs. Still in the original shipping carton and all paperwork etc!
This one was built with a lightweight alder body, quartersawn maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard, paired with the comfortable ’59 neck carve and 1-11/16" nut width. It also features wide/tall frets and a semi-gloss body finish.
Electronics are exactly what you’d want in a high-end Tyler: JTS5500 pickups in the neck and middle, a Super Humbucker in the bridge, along with a 5-way switch, coil split, and Tyler’s add neck/bridge button setup for expanded tonal options.
