2025 James Tyler USA Studio Elite HD HSS Floyd Rose Rear Rout White Shmear with Gold Hardware
James Tyler USA Studio Elite HD HSS Floyd Rose Rear Rout Rosewood Fingerboard X-Thin Neck White Shmear 7.75 LBS
STUDIO ELITE HD
This guitar is all about getting back to basics, which has made it one of our most popular models. A mid-boost preamp plus good selection of hardware, pickup and finish options allow customized simplicity that still has plenty of “kick”.
X-Thin Neck
James Tyler’s extra thin neck is the thinnest profile we offer(.790 at 1st fret / .915 at 12th fret (1 5/8” nut)). It’s great for shredding players, but it’s not the super-flat, ultra-thin style you’ll find from some other brands.
Shark Bridge Humbucker
High Output Humbucker
Good tight low end. Good bark in the mids but still even sounding. Sweet singing highs with a lower peak. Fat single notes with a nice taste of compression. Big articulate overdrive.
Alnico 5 magnets, counter clockwise winding direction, screw coil south and slug coil north polarity, 53mm wide f spacing, 50mm narrow g spacing. Straight humbuckers have a standard coil layout and slanted humbuckers have a traditional Tyler coil layout with pickup at angle and offset coils. DC specs 15.70 +/-.
JTS 5500 - Neck/Middle Singlecoil
Alnico 5 Single Coil
Neck: Characterized by the familiar sound of the Alnico 5 magnets with more attack, more chime and more power. Full, balanced and responsive with good low end and upper mid sparkle. Wound for SSH application using a 500k volume pot. Nice vibrant 3D qualities.
Middle: Has the same characteristics of the neck but is reverse wound and has reverse polarity for hum cancelling in switch positions 2 and 4. Nice vibrant 3D qualities.
Neck: Alnico 5 magnets, counter clockwise winding direction on neck and bridge pickups, clockwise winding direction on middle pickups, north pole top on middle pickups, south pole top on neck and bridge. DC specs 6.90 +/-.
Mid-Boost System: Definition & Functionality
The Mid-Boost System is an onboard active circuit designed to enhance midrange frequencies, providing increased warmth, sustain, and punch to the guitar’s tone. It is particularly useful for cutting through a mix, adding body to clean tones, and driving amplifiers harder for a more dynamic and expressive lead sound.
Add Neck & Bridge Button
The “Add Neck & Bridge” button on James Tyler Guitars allows players to engage both the neck and bridge pickups simultaneously, offering a unique tonal blend not typically available with standard pickup configurations. This feature enhances the guitar’s versatility, enabling a combination of the warmth from the neck pickup and the brightness of the bridge pickup for a rich, full-bodied sound.
Series/Parallel Button for the Bridge Pickup
This James Tyler SE-HD is equipped with a series/parallel switch for the bridge pickup, letting you toggle between series mode for a full, punchy tone and parallel mode for a clearer, lower-output sound. This adds versatile tonal flexibility with subtle shifts in dynamics and articulation.
