NGD - Tyler Classic Japan

[mooncobra]

Wow, got a Tyler Classic, Japan build. It’s epic. Plays, sounds, and feels exactly like a Tyler. This thing plays as good, if not better than any super Strat I have had. I recently got a Suhr Reb Beach that is also epic. I’ve been lucky on my last few guitars.

anyhow, you can’t tell the difference between a USA Tyler and Japan built Tyler James Tyler took the time to train all the luthiers that came over here to learn the Tyler way.

great way to get a Tyler for a lot less cash as USA Tyler’s price has gone through the roof recently based on retirement rumors.

The jts5500 single are some of, if not the best single coils I have played, and the Secret Humbucker is a very open uncompressed pickup that has nice sizzle via high gain and is tight and articulate.

this one came with the rare Tyler thin 59 neck and it is so comfortable. The neck is slick and icy and plays fast.

anyone considering ones you won’t regret it. I have had a USA Tyler and Japan at the same time and they are basically identical in every way.

Congrats! I’ve had a couple of Tyler’s and they are awesome! I also love the thin 59. Mine was an Alien Guano that was a fat sounding guitar. Good score!

Nice Mike, that thing is badass!

HNGD!

Now, if he would only do something with the headstock design.

The way Tyler does their fret/fretboard ends is so cool! Congrats.

Congrats!

I almost grabbed that myself, but was concerned about the neck size.

Glad you’re digging it!!

Much better than all of the copies that get as close to the Fender shape as possible
without getting sued.

Plus, screw the shape, take a look at that gorgeous quartersawn maple!!

Japan has long been known to be on par (or better in many cases) than the USA when it comes to making guitars...nothing surprising here.

Congrats on your purchase!

I actually really like the headstock design, both the bigger and smaller size.

You would like it for sure. What part were you concerned about , the neck being too big or too small? It plays amazingly nice. The neck feels really good.

it’s really fun to play. I HATE black guitars but will endure the color because it plays and sounds so good.

have you ever tried the secret humbucker?

 

[lester]

Ohhh...the Landau. Always wanted one.
What was the price difference?

Congrats for sure. I have a burning water 2k with the standard '59 neck cut. Love it, someone said that neck is like crack for your hands. haha

I like the Tyler headstock because it’s so recognizable. I’d love to play one some day.

Too small.
Yes, I’ve tried the Secret. Cool pickup, for sure.

 

[mooncobra]

Too small.
Yes, I’ve tried the Secret. Cool pickup, for sure.

It’s still bigger than the normal neck on an Anderson or Suhr modern. It’s bigger than my Suhr Reb beach neck by a little bit, but just as comfortable.

Very nice! I have a standard 59 right now that I really love, so of course, I’d like a backup.

You can find Tyler Japans for great deals a lot of the time. Seriously, they are the same as US, you can’t tell. Just as awesome in every way. Great way to get a Tyler for less cash.

Owned all 3 and agree with this.

Alien Guano with 3 singles is my dream strato guitar ever.
