JTG Retro & JTG Super Pickups - JTG Custom TOM Bridge & Locking Tuners

James Tyler built his reputation in the 1970s as a top-tier guitar technician for LA's elite session players, and his passion for innovation is now accessible to a wider audience with the JTG range. The M1, based on the Mongoose, blends classic blues and rock tones with premium craftsmanship, featuring an Okoume body with a 2-piece hard maple top for warmth and clarity. Its Okoume neck, paired with an Indian rosewood fretboard, ensures smooth playability, while a Standard '59 profile and 9.5" compound radius enhance comfort.

Loaded with JTG Retro and JTG Super humbuckers, it delivers everything from creamy PAF tones to high-gain punch, controlled via a simple yet versatile 3-way toggle switch. Custom JTG hardware, including a tune-o-matic bridge, tailpiece, and locking tuners, provides exceptional tuning stability, and a hardshell case offers premium protection. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, the M1 is a visually striking, sonically powerful guitar built for both studio and stage.
