Tyler’s are definitely amazing guitars. They have a feel that are slightly different than the other top builders, plus, it has that super bitchin headstock.
The neck has a high level of playability, his pickups that I have tried were great, and through a killer amp they sound amazing. But so would a lot of other guitars.
Try and find one used at a good price. People are trying to price gouge on Tyler right now because of retirement rumors. Sons of bitches!!! But every once in a while you can get a good deal on one.
Watch out for the guys that list one a little less than everyone else, but in reality it’s a Tyler Japan and they fail to mention in the for sale ad that it’s Tyler Japan. Those are hit or miss. I have had a couple that were amazing, and then had a couple that were dead average at best.
Every Tyler USA build I have had, has been great. Build quality is great, playability is off the charts, and with the Tyler pickups I’ve played they sound really good.
But keep in mind, they are bolt on super strays and you could find another high end super strat for less that does the same thing. But, Tyler’s definitely have some sort of mysterious secret sauce as they are in rare air in the world of the high end super strat. I love that 59 neck carve they use. Feels goooooooood.
Some people hate the headstock shape, both of them, but the larger headstock, to me, is straight up bitchin.
