i own a 2003 maple neck SE psy vomit w/Suhr singles & JB jr mini hb, that's the best guitar i ever owned or played in 35 years. Thanks for the factory tour and RIP Jim ♥
I loved when you gave me the tour Rich. It was very illuminating how much is involved with making a Tyler. That is why they are the best guitars in the world.
Hamer also used a single specific press for Serial Numbers for all their guitars post 1988 - the press is still in use as it happens by a Hamer associated custom maker!
Really enjoyed this. I'd love to spend some time playing a Tyler, I'm pretty intrigued by them. They're very expensive compared to Anderson and Suhr, I'd like to find out why 🙂
Need to do a video on neck construction I’ve heard the roll there fretboards a lot but can’t tell unless you have it in your hands how much work goes into completing the neck
So does Tyler guitars argue that thin nitrocellulose finishes are not the only thing that sounds good? I’m just curious because you hear so much about that being a reason to buy expensive Fender/Gibson Custom Shop guitars. But here is a totally custom maker with an epic legacy that clearly doesn’t do that and still has great sounding guitars. It’d be fascinating to hear what they think on all those points.
All details influences the sond of instrument. Wood, glue, paint, wood filler, truss rod, fret material, pickups, wires, caps, pots, nut material, tunning machines, neck angle, headstock angle……. Some of these things doing more, some less with final sound. James Tyler dont liked stainless frets because His guitar vision was perfect with nickel/silver fretmaterial. John Suhr is opposite, He prefer stainless frets on serial Suhr guitars. Its question of personal preferences.
He just said jim refused having stainless steal frets because of tone..then someone refretted there guitar with stainless so then he desides it doesnt matter much?...lol..thats because it never mattered much...and how about not putting so much paint on the guitars so they dont wiegh as much..silly guitar companies..sell what the customers want
@@Prettynoise Let's be honest here, the world of guitar is full of snake oil and pseudo-science. From power tubes to nitrocellulose lacquer to arguments over fretwire, all completely ignorant that the guitar amp is still based on pre 50's technology and is so full of noise, distortion (excessive noise in the signal results in distortion) and so far from neutral that it would smother the guitars natural "tone" if it ever existed.

It’s amazing how huge Tom Anderson is with these California makers. Tyler and Suhr both owe so much to Tom.
Who is Tom Anderson.
Your sentiment X2. Totally agree. Tom Anderson is just a great human being beyond being a pioneering guitar maker
I have a Tyler bass that has pickups that Jim and Tom wound together. It’s unreal.

Tyler are the best super strats I love em played them for years
Have ten Tyler gtrs...all amazing thx Jim and Lab and Rich !!!!
Thanks for this tour. Love and covet my Line 6 Variax JTV-69. Pity Yamaha gave up on this category-defining design. Thanks again!
I always think of Dan Huff whenever I see any Tyler headstock! An amazing guitarist and producer!
Check out his signature here!; shorturl.at/nZCwZ
Great video John ! Thanks
Really enjoyed this!
Amazing video. Can’t wait to try one!

Such a wonderful video - what a loss.
Peach customers are going to be quite happy!

hss studio hd has to be the ultimate swiss army knife guitar. great vid. cheers
James Tyler did a strat type back in the 90s called the RAT! It looked like it'd been run over by a tractor, wish they made more of them, id by one

Check out our James Tyler Guitars brand page for some awesome detail pictures, including the rolled fingerboard edges; shorturl.at/ceukK
very cool
Tom Andersons and Tylers are great guitars
Much bigger than the Van Nuys shop I visited.
No doubt they're great, but how are they 8k?
They aren't any better than Suhr or PRS
I tried staring at those guitars headstock for the longest time but still I can’t accept it. 😝. How are those guitars costing that much?

I don't understand why James tyler guitar was light and pickup signal is week for single coil.😅

nice guitars... but that headstock 😐😶
@@danidcr I agree..those headstocks are not lookers
I hated them for awhile but it’s really grown on me.
It's definitely unique. I'd like it more if they didn't do the logo a bunch of times all over it.
They are the best thing about Tyler’s !
