The James Tyler Studio Elite HD in Candy Apple Red Shmear is a standout example of why Tyler guitars remain among the most sought-after boutique S-style instruments in the world. Finished in a striking, molten-red Shmear and paired with a black headstock and gold Standard logo with CAR tint, this Studio Elite delivers the perfect blend of custom-shop artistry and high-performance design.
Built with a lightweight alder body and a beautifully figured birdseye maple neck, this guitar offers exceptional resonance, snap, and clarity. The maple fretboard, comfortable ST59 neck shape, and wide/tall frets create an effortless playing experience, while the Bloody Basin inlays add a unique, boutique aesthetic that sets this model apart from typical S-style guitars.
This Studio Elite HD is loaded with premium Tyler electronics, including Stingray 500 single coils in the neck and middle and the powerful Super-X bridge pickup. Combined with the midboost preamp, bypass switch, Super-X tap, and neck + bridge options, this guitar covers everything from shimmering, vintage-inspired cleans to thick, aggressive lead tones — all with the unmistakable clarity and punch that James Tyler is known for.
Premium hardware rounds out the build with a G2TS trem system, Hipshot locking tuners, and chrome hardware, ensuring tuning stability and reliable performance on stage or in the studio. Weighing in at just 7 lbs 4 oz, it’s lightweight, perfectly balanced, and built for serious players who demand boutique-level tone, feel, and versatility.
If you’re searching for a top-tier boutique electric guitar that combines show-stopping looks with world-class performance, this James Tyler Studio Elite HD in Candy Apple Red Shmear is an exceptional choice.
