James Tyler USA Studio Elite – Brown Burst (Black Limba)

The James Tyler Studio Elite in Brown Burst with a Black Limba body and neck is a rare boutique instrument that combines exotic tonewoods with Tyler’s legendary playability and electronics. Built in the USA, this model is both visually striking and sonically rich, delivering warmth, sustain, and clarity thanks to the Black Limba construction and rosewood fingerboard.

With its hardtail bridge, gold hardware, and signature Tyler logo, this Studio Elite is built for players who want uncompromising performance, rock-solid tuning stability, and boutique-level detail in a guitar that stands apart from the rest.

Why the Brown Burst Studio Elite with Black Limba?

The Black Limba neck and body make this Studio Elite especially unique, providing a tonal palette rich in sustain and resonance with a slightly darker, more complex voice than traditional woods. Coupled with Tyler’s SuperX humbucker, versatile single coils, and the famous Midboost preamp, this guitar covers every sonic territory from articulate cleans to searing leads.

The Brown Burst finish paired with gold hardware and a rosewood fingerboard creates a refined aesthetic, while the hardtail bridge ensures maximum stability and resonance. For players, it’s a powerhouse; for collectors, it’s a boutique rarity.
