Ed said that they are nice but I just can’t see that much for a Chinese guitar. Same thing with the Eastman brand. I think that’s the one. I’m not spending Gibson or prs money on a Chinese guitar…I should say used Gibson or prs money… lol

Headstock or not, I'm digging these China Tylers and all reports are the play/sound great

So I actually really like Tyler guitars. And I think some of the premium Chinese made guitars are nice (the MIC Warwick basses are great).

But these seem odd. Part of the allure of a Tyler is the price I think. So a budget line doesn't make any sense to me. If it's just another $1800 nice Strat, there are lots of those not made in China.

i've heard nothing but good things from the people that have played them. could be a big win for JT to expand their user base!

ya know, i do think the exclusivity plays a big part, it'll be interesting to see how these are perceived by the non-professional guitar playing community at large.

JT USA just never made a shit ton of guitars, so that has definitely kept resale value high. I'll be curious to see what, if any impact, these lower price point models have on the USA guitars.

Time will tell!

Why wouldn't I just buy a nice used USA Fender Strat for that price?

Sorry folks but bolt together Chinese Strat style guitars are Chinese bolt together Strat style guitars. Fuck that. Now have I played one? Nope…. Am I talking out my ass? Yup…. But it’s just my opinion. And I actually love the look of them btw…..

I believe the correct pronunciation for the Chinese made ones is "James Ty'wa"

distant cousin of the japanese made "James Tyrer"

 

[Metalhex]

Leon Todd will surely help sell alot of them

I am here to express my distrust of these guitars. I say if you want a high end Strat style guitar and don't want to spend your hard earned money on a luxurious Private Reserve PRS Silver Sky, then you should at least purchase a Zion. I mean, come on, have you no dignity?

I don't care to patronize the chinese but as a functional tool a guitar either plays nice and sounds acceptable or it doesn't. I would love to afford a USA ESP Viper but the price is out of my reach. Really at 2k this is also out of my reach and truthfully I'd probably buy another Edwards E-SA for a bit less if I had the cash.

If I hit the lottery I’m getting you one bro. Hell more than one….

 

[SpiderWars]

Pfft, call me when they copy a cool looking guitar. Like a Luxxtone.

You mean you’re going to buy him a uSA Studio Elite HD

Be careful or he might shoot his eye out

I'd yell at him and tell him to send the money to Holy Cross instead. If I spent that kind of money on myself for a guitar I would feel like a total piece of crap. I don't need luxury goods to play my kind of blues. That said I still think JAMES TYLER guitars are way cool.

Lottery is too rich for me!
