Tyler JTG
James Tyler's legendary tone and playability are now more accessible than ever with the all-new JTG Series. Designed in California with the same obsessive attention to detail that built Tyler's boutique reputation, these guitars are crafted in a top-tier Asian factory selected personally by the Tyler team.
From meticulously shaped necks to carefully voiced pickups, every component reflects the Tyler commitment to excellence — no shortcuts, no compromises. The result? A guitar that punches far above its price point, with the feel and sound of a true player's instrument.
JTG: Built for players. Backed by Tyler.
James Tyler began his journey in the early 1970s, focusing on custom electric guitar work and repairs. As his reputation spread through word of mouth, Tyler became the go-to guitar technician for some of the biggest names in the Los Angeles studio scene throughout the late 1980s and 1990s.
His passion for improving every aspect of the guitar, combined with a deep understanding of his clients' needs, cemented his status as a premier luthier. Players trusted him to deliver exceptional craftsmanship, and Tyler's hands-on experience with thousands of guitars gave him an unparalleled insight into what musicians truly want from their instruments.
With the new 'JTG' range, Tyler's guitar innovations are now available to an entirely new market of players on a lower budget. The MK1 is a fantastic value tool for session players and guitarists everywhere; based on the Studio Elite it comes with all the bells and whistles one would expect.
