James Tyler USA Studio Elite HD – Natural 5A Quilt Maple with Bare Arm Contour in Vintage Psychedelic Vomit

The James Tyler Studio Elite HD with a natural 5A quilt maple top and bare arm contour painted in Vintage Psychedelic Vomit is a striking blend of elegance and attitude. Built by hand in the USA, this guitar showcases the breathtaking figuring of natural quilt maple, contrasted by the bold, explosive colors of the arm contour. It’s a showpiece for collectors and a high-performance instrument for players who demand versatility and comfort.

Why This Studio Elite HD?

This Studio Elite HD stands apart thanks to its natural 5A quilt maple top, which highlights the wood’s stunning figure, contrasted by the bare arm contour in Vintage Psychedelic Vomit for a unique custom look. Tonally, the Shark humbucker combined with JTS5500 single coils and the powerful Midboost preamp cover everything from glassy cleans to searing leads.

With a mahogany back for warmth and sustain, a ’63 neck profile for vintage feel, and glow-in-the-dark Luminlay inlays, this guitar isn’t just eye-catching — it’s built to perform at the highest level.
