James Tyler Tylerbastar Aged White

James Tyler is legendary for the unique finishes that have made him famous, but they wouldn't mean anything if they weren't great guitars at their heart. That's why they've been the instrument of choice for so many legendary musicians. While he may be best known for his S-style guitars, he also crafts superb T-style guitars. Case in point: this lovely brand-new Tylerbastar. It's steeped in the early '60s Tele mojo - lightweight alder body and slab rosewood fingerboard, but with all the added Tyler magic, this beauty is exquisitely playable.

The matched Tyler pickups are dynamic and give you all the traditional T sounds. Plus, there's the bonus of a mid boost and push/pull bypass tone pot that, when engaged, adds girth and power to an already spectacular Tele tone.

For me, Tyler gets it all right. His vast experience brings you the beauty of this Tylerbastar while retaining the heart and soul of the original T guitars.

ABOUT TYLER GUITARS
James Tyler has had a guitar in his hand almost every day since he first picked one up the summer after seventh grade, in 1964. In college, Jim studied Architecture, Design, Music, Photography and for a couple years, Theology. He paid his way through these years of collage doing guitar repair work at local guitar stores, and as a factory trained auto mechanic for Alfa Romeo, Lancia, BMW and Fiat. Later into the 1970’s, he got connected with the guys at Norman’s Rare Guitars in the San Fernando Valley, and became their main repair and restoration guy. Jim’s abilities continued to expand and soon he had enough experience and reputation that he opened his first repair shop in Reseda, CA in 1980. Since then its been a whirlwind of successes, including being chosen to be displayed among the great California guitar companies such as Fender, Rickenbacker, Mosrite and Charvel in the Museum of California's exhibit The Ultimate Guitar Show and building for artists such as Michael Landau, David Williams, Steve Lukather, Michael Anthony, and Dan Huff. James' design shapes and various ground breaking guitar finishes and most recently his line of pickups have virtually transformed the guitar building industry.
