The James Tyler Ultimate Weapon in White Pearl over a natural mahogany back is a bold, high-performance build that perfectly captures Tyler’s unmistakable design language—aggressive, sculpted, and instantly recognizable. The angular Ultimate Weapon body shape delivers a commanding visual presence while remaining perfectly balanced and effortless in the hands.
The White Pearl top brings a refined, almost liquid depth under light, contrasted beautifully by the warmth of the natural mahogany back and sides. It’s clean, striking, and unmistakably boutique—subtle from a distance, but full of movement and character up close.
Built from a solid mahogany body and neck, paired with an ebony fingerboard, this guitar delivers a focused, punchy low end, rich midrange, and smooth, articulate highs. The ST64 neck carve feels substantial yet fast, while the wide/tall frets make bending and articulation feel effortless and precise across the board.
Loaded with a Retro Reverse humbucker in the neck and a Studebaker in the bridge, this Ultimate Weapon moves seamlessly from clear, expressive cleans to thick, harmonically rich drive. The onboard midboost preamp with bypass, paired with the 5-way Super Switch (splitting in positions 2 and 4), unlocks an incredibly wide tonal palette without overcomplicating the layout.
Finished with a G2TS bridge, Hipshot locking tuners, and chrome hardware, this is a precision-built instrument designed for stability, reliability, and performance at every level.
Weighing in at just 7 lbs 6 oz, this Ultimate Weapon is lively, resonant, and incredibly responsive—built to inspire the moment you pick it up.
Refined, powerful, and unapologetically distinct—this is Tyler at its best.
