Why We Love It
The combination of the lightweight alder body, resonant mahogany neck, and spectacular spalted maple top creates a guitar that is equally at home delivering glassy cleans, rich fusion tones, classic rock crunch, or soaring lead sounds.
The renowned Tyler Midboost system provides instant access to thick, vocal lead tones, while the California Special bridge humbucker delivers the punch and authority Tyler players have come to expect.
At just 6 lbs 8 oz, this guitar is remarkably lightweight and exceptionally comfortable for long sessions and live performances.
