James Tyler Classic 2002 - Fiesta Red

2002 James Tyler USA Classic in rare Fiesta Red.
Alder body, standard 59 neck (.845/.975) Suhr v60 pickups.
Wilkinson VSVG tremolo. Narrow/Tall frets. 1-5/8” nut width. 10 - 12 compound radius. Kluson vintage style staggered tuners. 7.5lbs

I've owned several Tylers in the past and this one is definitely
the most vintage sounding one I've owned. All stock, no modifications or changes. The Suhr V60 pickups are a perfect match for this guitar. No midboost or series/parallel switching or wild schmear finish. Just the classic SSS vintage style configuration and aesthetic.

It plays like butter, rings like a bell and stays in tune better than any strat I've ever owned. Tone wise, definitely more vintage than the more modern tone you get from a Studio Elite( or even other Classics I've owned) but with much better tuning stability, intonation and dimension. The standard Tyler 59 neck is something to behold. Either you know or
you don’t.

I’m the second owner. It's been played and there are a couple dings here and there but overall is in great condition and has been well taken care of. Frets have been leveled and crowned and are good to go. Currently setup with 9’s as it was originally.

Tyler is without question doing some amazing work these days, but for me there is just something special about these older Classics. I did verify the handwriting on the spec sheet(copy of original) is Jim's (which I thought was cool!) Buyer will not be disappointed. It’s a great one.
OHSC is included. Definitely some wear on the case but structurally solid!
