James Tyler USA Tylerbastar in Barn Find finish Birdseye Maple neck, and Tummy & arm contours
The James Tylerbastar in Barn Find finish is a guitar with attitude. With its raw, weathered aesthetic and uncompromising build quality, this USA-made Tylerbastar is designed for players who want vintage soul fused with modern playability.
The Barn Find finish gives that aged, road-worn vibe straight out of the case, while its electronics and neck design deliver everything you’d expect from James Tyler: power, versatility, and unmatched feel. This model is built for tone-chasers who prefer grit and personality over pristine gloss.
Why the Bastar in Barn Find?
The Bastar is Tyler’s answer to players who want stripped-down looks with maximum tonal impact. The California Special humbucker paired with JTS5 Stingray single coils provides everything from sparkling cleans to muscular rock tones, while the Birdseye maple neck ensures smooth, effortless playability.
The Barn Find finish makes each Bastar unique, offering a distressed look that feels broken in from day one. Add in the body’s tummy and arm contours, and you have a guitar that plays as comfortably as it looks rugged.
