What are your thoughts on the famous/infamous Tyler headstock?
**Also, quick edit: with the Secret bridge humbucker, it in fact DOES NOT split in position 2, because it is so well balanced with the single coils. With their popular, higher output Super bridge humbucker, it splits in position 2 automatically to balance with the single coils.
Dream guitar right there! Looks and sounds great! Enjoy!
Decades ago, I saw it and didn't find it attractive. Now, I see it as a status symbol above Fender Custom Shop, Suhr and Tom Anderson Guitarworks.
@@place_desjardins Agree
Hope they gave you a discount for that ugly advertising on the neck. :/
LOVE that body finish tho!
Awful tacky headstock and lettering ruins (for me) a great guitar.
BuT tHe HeAdStoCk
That Landau clean tone was perfection
Decades ago my mother passed. Any time she was asked about clothing or any item when she was asked what she wanted she would say "I'll know when I see it." I think she was onto something :-)
Totally, go by feeling
Yea, my train of thought when I’m looking to purchase something big is: “It’s gotta have that WOW factor.” If it doesn’t WOW me, I walk away.
That clean sound with all 3 pickups on with the boost is ethereal, what a fantastic sounding guitar. This is basically the ultimate super Strat.
It's the sound! You really can't get it with stock Strat wiring
Best clean tone I've ever heard came out of a James Tyler. They nail 80s tones beautifully.
the larger headstock is killer. they play magically and effortlessly, and they sound killer and i love their pickups. damn you. i want that!
I love the headstock design. The fact that it makes people so angry is just a bonus.
Beautiful axe, RJ.
Yeah!!! I´ve been following Tyler Guitars for...maybe 2 decades, but I´ve never played one. RJ...you deserve it man. Have fun with it!!!
This thing has exceeded any expectation I could have had, jaw-dropping 😮well deserved my friend, congrats 🎉 🎸
I’ve been wanting a Tyler Studio for ages…ever since Michael Casswell (RIP) raved about them non-stop next to his Valley Arts guitars. The Burning Water Studio Elite has been on my wishlist for ages and the day that I do, I’ll be fulfilled. Glad you got one, RJ!!
Happy you got your bucket list guitar. Glad to hear you are having fun with it. Thanks for sharing RJ!
I don't think there's a better way to bring in a video on Tylers than with quoting Dann Huff's work on 'Stay'. Beyond badass, congrats on the guitar, RJ!
That finish looks rad! Awesome tones out of it, too! Thanks for sharing.
I 100% cackled with delight when I saw that paint job as you opened the case. So over the top, so awesome.
Love it - congrats on the Tyler!
Congrats RJ! It looks stunning! Shred the hell out of it!
Congratulations! Well earned! It sounds great!
Looks and sounds great and unique. Lots of tone variety and much more! Congrats on NGD RJ!
Congrats on your new guitar R.J.! Looks and sounds fantastic.
Always great when someone picks up their dream guitar. You make it sound awesome. Enjoy and thanks for sharing!
Damn happy for you, Man! I was fortunate to get my ultimate guitar about a year ago, didn't really believe that I would ever have one. Sure is nice to attain that goal, and they are so fun to play! Love your channel : )
What a beautiful Tyler. Congratulations and thanks for the thorough road test.
You're right, this is a masterpiece. I absolutely love it. Subscribed.
Dude the sounds. Good stuff man, congrats!
So cool! Love your build. I have a Studio Elite HD shipping to me this week & can't wait.
Love the Tyler headstock. Congratulations on your Tyler Studio Elite HD. Love the finish. Enjoy the Tyler guitar in good health.
Haven't finished the whole vid yet, but that intro sounded AWESOME, R.J. What's even more awesome is that you got your bucket list guitar. Congratulations! The most awesome part of it all is the fact you could make a $200 Squier sound awesome! lol. But we're all glad that you're doing on that sweet looking Super Strat!
Wow man. I’m stoked for you. Definitely a once in a lifetime buy. Enjoy
Congratulations ! James Tyler make the best super strats, for sure... And the look of them is incredible !
Congrats brother -- must be a great feeling to finally have a guitar you lusted after for so long, and have it meet all your expectations.
Beautiful looks and tone, congratulations RJ
Congrats RJ!
Thanks for the review. I was in the fence and after seeing your review I pulled the trigger. Just waiting for it to come in.
Just came across this and though I can't kick a guitar down stairs, It was great hearing you explain everything that went into this guitar and the history that created it. I'm glad you got it and glad it went to someone who gets it and can use it the way it's meant to be used.
Congrats RJ!!
Best looking and sounding guitar that I’ve ever seen. The clean ones are otherworldly.
Great looking and sounding Tyler!! Love the specs as well. Funny, I've always loved the headstock from day one, from the same magazines you were looking at back in the day.
Why am I not surprised to see someone break out a Tyler super strat and immediately start playing Dann Huff licks? That's a pretty killer guitar! When you played the chorused part with the mid-boost on at 13:53, I was immediately 15 years old again. That was basically the sound of my teens. It was on everything I listened to, probably because Huff and Landau played on almost everything I listened to back then.
Congrats ! 👍😀
Beside the fact, that the guitar is great, I very much like that the 80's and 90's sounds get back. Chorus is not a crime and sweet, wet sounds are just pure fun. Thanks for bringing back this style, RJ. LOVE IT!!! 💕
Wow! That’s an awesome looking (and sounding) guitar. Congratulations
So gorgeous! It took some time to like those headstocks but, I love them now. Nice reference to Giant and Dan Huff in the beginning.
Awesome TONES, sir! And that outro hit me right in the feels, man. Susmaryosep...
This is brilliant Brother. I have ordered the Yellow Dann Huff and I’m so excited I could burst. My dream guitar. I can’t get enough things Tyler. Then along comes your video. Hell yes my man. Hell yes. Your a great player and a great guy. You have a new fan.
Awesome! That was my 2nd choice
Love the video, R.J. Always wanted a Tyler!!
That's a great breakdown and history. Beautiful instrument. Congrats!
Giant Intro! Great vid, RJ!
Sick guitar man, love it, of course your playing is awesome too, keep rockin!
Congrats RJ - very sweet axe!
That is a great guitar. You are an amazing player dude. You make great videos and I'm glad I found you again.
Congrats RJ! That's a great guitar. I saw your IG video "It's Love" Awesome all around.
That’s some gorgeous tone. Clear, belly, nuanced
Congrats!
That seems like a great guitar, full of subtleties. No wonder you are playing it all the time. Congraulations!
Very nice,I love the finish
I played a Burning Water over 20 years ago that still haunts me today. Best guitar I've ever picked up!
sooooo gooood! Gorgeous guitar. Fantastic player! Congrats man!!!
Congratulations!!! Greetings from Barcelona!!
That sounds and looks amazing!
Great review bro. Thanks for opening my eyes and ears to this brand. I never knew all those ppl used it !
Greetings from NZ 🤘🎸😎
Congratulations on your new guitar. It's real nice brother. Do great with it.
That was great!
Congrats on your Tyler RJ!!
🙏🏾
Congratulations RJ !!!! ....thats a beautiful Instrument!!!...enjoy!
Gorgeous guitar!!! Sounds beautiful 😍
Congrats! That’s a beauty
R.J., I discovered Tyler Guitars by seeing Mike Landau. Nearly twenty years ago I bought mine from Martin Music in Memphis, sight unseen, for the then outrageously expensive price of $3600.00.
Mine is a hollow Burning Water, and it’s so lightweight the staff at the store gave it the nickname I still use for it, “The Anomaly”.
Mine didn’t have the midboost, so I replaced one of the tone controls with an EMG midboost.
Over twenty years I’ve used it on multiple gigs and sessions. As you observed, it’s hands down the finest superstrat I’ve ever played. The guys at Tyler are surely magicians.
Oh yes, I couldn’t care less about the headstock. Strapped over my shoulder, looking down at it, it looks completely normal 😄
Sound super nice, beautiful guitar, congratulations!
Love that clean tone!
I was lucky enough to work at a James Tyler dealer for a while and yeah, they really really stand out in the super strat crowd. Their quality level goes from excellent to unreal. There is no such thing as a bad guitar with that logo on it
Excuse me sir, if I buy some pickups from James Tyler, would I be able to install them on a regular stratocaster?
@@somethingserious3683 I have the same question!
@@SessionGold yeah I've studied them and they have regular pickups which can be installed individually, they don't sell the midboost preamp though 🫤
@@somethingserious3683 That's a bummer... do you know if there are any alternatives out there? 3rd party mid-boost preamps?
@@SessionGold at the moment I don't of any
That guitar is dope, RJ. I usually go with more traditional looks but now and then I get a hankering for neon purple or something rad like that tuckerberry. Rock on!
I like the headstock... It's retro modern.
I love that paint job and I actually dig the headstock. I seen these along time ago but didn't really look into them or realize that they was such great guitars but I am glad that I'm in the know now... Thanks awesome video and you just got me to sub to ur channel...
Once in a lifetime guitar! Congratulations brother! 👏👏👏👏
Congrats! So many features and flexibility, my kind of guitar!
Nice playing man
Congrats on that beautiful guitar. I got myself a Jake e Lee Charvel. One of my bucket list guitars. Enjoy your new ride.
Awesome guitar! My Burning Water has been my number one since i bought it in 2003. 21 years of using it for everything…..the neck is something else!
Wow! That’s THE sound!
Awesome dude. Congrats on your dream guitar.
Hey, that's mine at 18:37! Great vid, loved the Rich bits.
And by 'mine', I mean actually my one! Fantastic Japan HD-P. And as Rich says, the paint jobs are fingerprints.
Looks and sounds great 👍!
Always wanted one! Super jealous! Congrats! It's beautiful!
Loved the Giant licks, perfect
Sounds great and slick color!
That purp-blue Tucker looks right for you dude. Not sure why but it does. Happy for you man. Rock on 🤘🤙✌️
Congratulations on the Guitar bro. It’s Definitely a eye catcher. That color is Awesome..
I’m mostly excited to see what color it is. Also them pickups. Also whatever riffage RJ is giving us. Ok this is going to be good.
Tylers are amazing. I played one at NAMM in the REVV booth. Super insane. Reminds me of my Anderson. Congrats!!
Great sound with all three pickups on... I did a 'blender mod' to my strat a while back and I love the 'all on' and 'front and back tele thing' that it gives me. This is totally giving me the gas for a SS. Love the finish btw.
Amazing guitar! congratulations. Now all you need is to get a Tom Anderson and a Valley Arts guitar and you will have the holy trinity of 80's coolness.
Owned an Anderson and played a bunch. They are indeed great guitars. Playing a few Tylers over the years and finally owning one, there is another level which I can't explain. All I can say is my Tyler feels like it was created just for me with every other guitar I ever played or owned coming in second place.
Beautiful guitar! I love how you've reverse-engineered the 80s sound that so many of us have come to appreciate. I've been into that sound ever since I found out who did the solo at the end of that Tubes song...
Well that looks sick! 😎
Awesome guitar 🤘
Awesome 😍😍
Oooooh what a nice guitar! Nice score! It really seems a lot like my alder body ESP LTD Cult 86 that I play pretty much every day. Crazy paint job too much like this one! You have great taste in guitars sir! I like super strats like this because you can play actually anything on them. I might not dig the headstock but that makes your guitar very unique and cool. Very nice guitar man! It sounds incredible. Youve got me kinda sold on those James Tylers
Sweet guitar. Congratulations!
I loved the head stock from the first time I saw it. It stands out and grabs you ....Now when I see it I say - AHHHHH That's a James Tyler Guitar. Genius
Playing the song " Stay by giant " as an intro for a guitar review is beyond words. Congratulations on your new Tyler guitar.
That song is soooo catchy. Love Giant.
Dude, I don't know if it's you, the guitar or the amp, but your tone is sick. Your playing is beautiful too.
RJ - I got to borrow a Studio Elite years ago, and it was the best-playing guitar I had ever played! The fretwork was absolute perfection!
