James Tyler USA LA Studio Classic HSS with Studio Elite Headstock Wilkinson VS-100 Bridge Psychedelic Vomit 7.45 lbs

About This Guitar,

This LA Studio Classic pays tribute to Mike Landau’s original Tyler guitar. It features the Psychedelic Vomit finish — the very first and most iconic example of the “Tylerized” aesthetic. This finish started it all and remains one of the most recognized visuals in the James Tyler legacy.

It also comes with a COMA logo on the headstock and a Wilkinson VS-100 bridge — just like Landau’s guitar.

Unlike most LA Studio Classics that use the narrower and lighter Classic headstock, this guitar is built with the wider and heavier Studio Elite (SE) headstock. We chose the SE headstock deliberately, as our testing confirms that the added mass improves resonance and sustain.
