What was the bare finish arm cut called?
Thought it had a special name

All current guitar prices are insane. Look at the bright side, they are worth more than today than what you paid for them. It would be cool if you asked me where I was in '87 in this thread though.

I'd have thought that most Tyler customers are buying for the sound, not the looks.
That said, I think the Suhr headstocks look way-better.
There's no accounting for taste, as they say.

The only thing better about the Suhr headstock is if you were going to use it for primate hunting it has a better point on it!!! Now please leave!!!

The Tyler's I've played were really nice guitars. Some of the better superstrats I've tried, but for that price range you can get a Marchione (2 of which I compared side by side with good Tyler's) and they smoke the Tyler's. I admit, even as a huge Marchione fan, they're also generally very overpriced, but still to me on another level and some of my favorite all time guitars I've played (even among all the vintage Gibson's and Fender's I've played)
I tried so many Suhr's and Anderson's and only a few I thought were pretty good, but not amazing. Most of them just sounded like typical sterile, choked poly guitars that lacked character and feel/inspiration for me

It's the most unique and amazing looking headstock since the Gibson open book.

It reminds me of modern art like "piss christ" or Andy Warhol
Which sucks because some of those super strats look amazing otherwise

The piss Christ was funded by taxpayers, the James Tyler is a purely capitalistic design. You will not find a more cutting edge nor distinctive design on another super strat.

Isn't the headstock literally just the two-finger bird?

Well they have a nicer headstock than a Suhr but they make James Tyler's look affordable.
I think you guys live in an alternate reality with these prices. Or maybe that's just a so-cal thing or something.
