James Tyler USA Tylerbastar – Amethyst Shmear
The James Tyler Bastar in Amethyst Shmear is a bold statement guitar that blends raw character with boutique craftsmanship. Built in the USA, this Tylerbastar pairs Tyler’s signature comfort and playability with the striking, high-gloss Amethyst Shmear finish, making it a standout both sonically and visually.
Designed for players who want attitude and versatility, the Tylerbastar delivers powerful dual-humbucker tones with a unique edge that only a Tyler can provide.
Why the Bastar in Amethyst Shmear?
The Tylerbastar is Tyler’s take on a stripped-back, attitude-driven guitar — but with the refinement and flexibility expected from a boutique build. The pairing of the Retro Reverse neck humbucker and the Super bridge humbucker gives this guitar a commanding voice, from smooth cleans to aggressive drive tones.
The Amethyst Shmear finish elevates the Bastar into showpiece territory, while the Lapis Gold inlays and side dots add luxury touches rarely seen on a guitar with this much bite. With its ST64 neck profile, wide/tall frets, and tummy & arm contours, it’s as comfortable to play as it is powerful.
