The James Tyler Studio Elite HDX in Vice Shmear is everything players love about Tyler: wild, unapologetic styling paired with some of the best feel and tone you can get from a boutique S-style. The Vice Shmear finish is a full blast of neon colour — chaotic, vibrant, and unmistakably Tyler — matched with a Neon Blue headstock and the bold Big California signature logo for maximum attitude.
Built on a lightweight alder body with a quartersawn maple neck and maple fretboard, this guitar is lively, resonant, and ultra-comfortable. The ST64 neck shape feels instantly familiar, with wide/tall frets that make bending effortless. Rhondonite inlays add a unique, custom touch that sets this one apart even before you plug it in.
The electronics deliver classic Tyler clarity and versatility, powered by the JTS5500 single coils and a punchy Super humbucker in the bridge. With the midboost preamp and its bypass, plus dedicated series/parallel and neck + bridge switches, you have instant access to a huge palette of tones ranging from glassy and articulate to thick, powerful, and driven.
A G2TS trem, Hipshot locking tuners, and chrome hardware keep everything solid, stable, and stage-ready. At 7 lbs 12 oz, this Studio Elite HDX feels perfectly balanced in the hands and plays like a guitar built for true performers.
If you’re looking for a Tyler that delivers maximum personality and maximum versatility, this Vice Shmear HDX is the one.
