STUDIO ELITE SERIES

The Studio Elite models of James Tyler Guitars are the pinnacle of form, function, and sound. Years of feedback from revered studio and gigging guitarists culminated into the ultimate in electric guitars.

Supercharged Studebaker (Medium Output Humbucker)

Growl for days with tight lows and more mid punch. Great overdrive with good balance. The Supercharged Studebaker still has the clarity and versatility of the Studebaker with good dynamics and flexibility. Cleans up well.

Seymour Duncan Classic Stack Plus (Neck/Middle)Vintage Voiced Noiseless ST Pickup

The Classic Stack Plus neck pickup looks and sounds like a true Stratocaster single coil but none of the traditional single coil hum. It’s got all of the sparkle and the chime that you would expect from a vintage Strat pickup. Like its neck counterpart, the Classic Stack Plus middle pickup provides all of the classic Strat chime. However, we build it RWRP to give you that perfect in-between sound of positions 2 & 4 when split to keep the set completely hum-free in all selector positions.

Complete the set with the Classic Stack Plus bridge pickup, which is wound slightly hotter than the neck and middle models to provide an even balance and output between positions. Back in the 80s we patented a special bottom coil that actually injects negative hum into the pickup circuit and at the end of the production process, we fine tune each pickup for maximum noise cancelation. You get all the great qualities of a classic Strat pickup, and none of the hum.

Hand built in Santa Barbara, CA, the Classic Stack Plus Stratocaster pickups use hand ground alnico 5 rod magnets and comes with a splittable 3-conductor lead wire to give you access to true single coil operation. Each pickup wax potted for squeal free performance.
