And you can see yourself in it, or at least we can  . Nice frets too! 6150's? We'll be waiting for the clips to hear how it sounds.

Awww Captain, I don't even know who James Tyler IS, but I love the happiness that you are exuding, just in the camera angles you chose. It is really pretty! Play it in good health! (So how many guitars DO you have now? Maybe this could be a thread topic!) I do love looking at the photos you guys post.

I LOVE YOUR PHOTOS, especially the body close-up with your ??? reflection showing. Also like looking down the neck. They'd be fun to play with in photoshop!  |

Can't you feel the love!
Just gigged with my baby last night first time! I left all other guitars (15 to 20 at any given time elizabeth). Oh what fun switching between the Strat tones of suhr V60LPs single coils and humbucker. When you lighten up on the attack this guitar goes into the tone zone!
Ended the night with a 15 min version of "Up From the Skies." I hadn't played that tune in years!
It is true? Please let me Talk to YOU.....if my daddy could see me now!

Looks like it's really well built.

Nice. Why did you go with the Tyler over a Suhr or an Anderson?
I have an Anderson Strat, and a friend recently came over with his Suhr Strat, so I had a chance to compare them side-by-side. I thought (my opinion) that the Andy had better build quality and finish, but I prefered the Suhr pickups in the neck and middle over the TA pickups. I liked the TA bridge pickup sound better than the Suhr single coil bridge tone. So I do think there's some magic in the Suhr Strat pickups. The Suhr also a a really nice neck - it had that broken-in feeling.
I've only tried a Tyler once - and I hated the neck feel. But that's just me. So I'm curious about why you chose the Tyler over other similar guitars.
Thanks! |

Remember I like the real fat necks!!
I have owned 3 Andersons in the past. Great guitars! Incredible workmanship. But for me...the necks are too thin and I don't like the Anderson pickups - way too bright and thin.
I checked out Suhrs and probably will buy one eventually. Why because you can get it built to your specs...if you can ever get John to email you back...which apparently I can't!
The Tyler was available used very reasonably priced versus new. Love the big fat 59 neck profile!! Also this baby had the exact Suhr pickups I was looking for V60LPs single coils and humbucker. I also wanted a modern trem system. BTW, Jim Tyler is hard to track down as well.
So at the end of the day. None of the builders emailed me back...business must be real good...;) And a Tyler with 98% of what I wanted became available at a reasonable price point...sold!

No further explanation needed - when you find a good deal on a great used guitar, you buy it! Congrats!
Have you tried the Anderson '62 Roundback neck? It's relatively thin (0.83") at the top, but gets pretty fat around the 9th fret (0.98" at the 12th, I think). That's my favorite TA neck (and I own 3 different ones).
I might have to buy some Suhr PUs some day. |
