JTG5000 & JTG Super Pickups - Midboost Preamp w/Bypass - JTG Custom Trem & Locking Tuners

James Tyler built his reputation in the 1970s as a top-tier luthier, trusted by some of the biggest names in the Los Angeles studio scene for his exceptional craftsmanship. Now, with the JTG range, his innovations are accessible to a wider audience at a lower price point. The MK1, inspired by the Studio Elite, features a solid alder body with a Molten Iron finish, a Canadian maple neck with an Indian rosewood fretboard, and a comfortable Standard '59 profile.

A trio of Alnico 5 pickups, including JTG5000 single-coils and a JTG Super humbucker, deliver a versatile, dynamic tone suited for anything from warm cleans to aggressive high-gain leads. Its advanced electronics include a 5-way switch, master volume, midboost preamp, and master tone, allowing players to shape their sound effortlessly. Custom JTG hardware, a 2-post tremolo, and locking tuners ensure precise intonation and tuning stability, while a hardshell case provides premium protection. Visually striking and sonically powerful, the MK1 is built to perform at the highest level, whether in the studio or on stage.
