This is a guitar that sounds like it looks—ALIVE. Featuring more gold in its White Shmear color, every swirly detail goes beyond shimmering in the light, and looks almost as though it’s shifting in motion like lacquered smoke. Its Birdseye maple neck exudes the same beauty where each eye in the grain has a life of its own. Part instrument, part sculpture, we dare say. Once you plug it in, the story deepens beyond its glittery surface. The JT5500’s glassy articulation and the California Special’s growls with controlled defiance come together to blend pristine clarity and audacious chaos at your fancy. Engage the midboost bypass and unlock a world of pure, unfiltered tones that breathe straight from the wood to the wire. But whatever tone you sculpt, you can be sure that every single detail down to the tiniest nuance is unmistakably Tyler.
