James Tyler Studio Elite HD - Green Shmear

The James Tyler Studio Elite HD in Green Shmear is an extraordinary blend of innovation, craftsmanship, and tone. Featuring an alder body that provides a balanced tonal foundation, this guitar pairs perfectly with a quartersawn maple neck and fretboard for exceptional stability and resonance. The Standard '59 neck profile, measuring .845" at the 1st fret and .975" at the 12th fret, delivers a comfortable yet substantial feel, complemented by a 1 5/8" nut width and a compound radius of 10"-12" for effortless playability across the fretboard. The medium-sized frets (.110" x .055") make both intricate solos and robust chords a breeze.

Outfitted with Hipshot locking tuners and a G2TS tremolo system, this guitar ensures tuning stability and smooth vibrato. The Black Pearl pickguard adds a touch of elegance, while the versatile electronics take center stage. The White JTS5500 single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions, combined with the slanted Super Humbucker in the bridge, deliver a rich palette of tones. A 5-way switch, volume, mid-boost, and tone controls offer precision shaping, while innovative features like the auto-split in position 5, mid-boost preamp with a bypass button, and a dedicated neck-and-bridge blend button unlock unparalleled sonic versatility.

Weighing in at just 7 lbs 9 oz, the Studio Elite HD is as comfortable to hold as it is thrilling to play. Whether you’re chasing searing leads, creamy cleans, or glassy rhythms, this guitar is built to inspire every note. Its striking Green Shmear finish ensures it looks as bold as it sounds—truly a masterpiece for the discerning player.
