James Tyler USA Studio Elite HD – Tylerburst (Quilt Maple)

The James Tyler Studio Elite HD in Tylerburst is a boutique electric guitar that perfectly balances eye-catching style with unmatched tonal flexibility. Built in the USA, this model combines a quilted maple top over an alder body, paired with a maple neck and a royal blue–tinted headstock featuring the classic Explogo logo. The Tylerburst finishhighlights the quilted maple’s dramatic figuring, making this instrument as stunning visually as it is sonically versatile.

Equipped with a Shark humbucker in the bridge, a JTS5500 single coil in the middle, and an Angry Retro humbucker in the neck, this Studio Elite HD delivers a massive tonal palette — from glassy cleans to aggressive leads. Add in Tyler’s Midboost preamp, series/parallel switching, and 5-way selector, and this guitar is built to handle anything.
