James Tyler USA Bastar – Fire Shmear
The James Tyler Bastar in Fire Shmear is a boutique hot rod of a guitar — raw, bold, and packed with versatility. Built in the USA, this Bastar features a rear-routed alder body, a roasted birdseye maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard, offering a perfect mix of comfort, stability, and tonal warmth.
Finished in Tyler’s fiery Fire Shmear, accented with black hardware and a faux matching headstock with black logo, this Bastar makes a statement before you even plug in. With its HSS pickup configuration, HDX switching, and Midboost preamp, it’s a guitar designed for players who want maximum control and personality in their tone.
Why the Bastar in Fire Shmear?
The Bastar is Tyler’s rebellious sibling to the Studio Elite — built with attitude but still delivering the precision and comfort players expect. The Fire Shmear finish ensures no two guitars look alike, while the roasted birdseye maple neck adds a boutique touch with rock-solid stability.
Tonally, the combination of a humbucker in the bridge and Stingray-style single coils in the middle and neck(enhanced by Tyler’s HDX switching and Midboost preamp) unlocks an incredible range of sounds — from crystalline cleans to searing high-gain leads. This is a player’s guitar with collector-level flair.
