James Tyler USA Studio Elite – Black Shmear over Red Tint
The James Tyler Studio Elite in Black Shmear over Red Tint is a boutique showpiece that blends aggressive styling with unmatched tonal versatility. Built in the USA, this model features an alder body, maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard, dressed with a striking black pearloid scratch plate and finished with Tyler’s signature Explogo logo.
With a Shark humbucker in the bridge and noiseless single coils in the neck and middle, this Studio Elite delivers the clarity and punch players expect from Tyler’s flagship design. Combined with the Midboost preamp, series/parallel switching, and coil-split options, it’s a guitar built to cover the widest tonal range possible.
Why the Black Shmear over Red Tint Studio Elite?
The Studio Elite has earned its reputation as James Tyler’s flagship thanks to its comfort, versatility, and unmistakable style. The Shark humbucker provides fat, dynamic leads, while the noiseless single coils ensure crystal-clear tones without the hum. With the Midboost preamp and flexible switching, this guitar adapts to any playing situation — from pristine cleans to heavy rock.
The Black Shmear over Red Tint finish is bold and eye-catching, especially when paired with the black pearloid guard, chrome hardware, and Explogo logo. For players, it’s an endlessly versatile instrument; for collectors, it’s a boutique guitar with a finish that truly stands out.
