Tyler JTG MK1 in the house...

Congrats looks stunning. Btw luckily enough is the spec sheet wrong it's the Std. 59 neck profile from what I'm told.

Thank you!

I've sent a message to the seller to figure out the neck profile specs. The build sheet states "STD Thin C", while the text in the listing description indicates 'STD 59 neck 1st fret .850 12th fret .980".

I prefer the 59 profile, but I am comfortable with a thin C as well, since I have many examples of both profiles in my existing collection.

Thank you for bringing the discrepancy to my attention.

Yeah I know that Jim likes em big like I do.
I mean the extra thin on the Japanese here I worried was gonna be like a wizard neck but lucky it wasn't.

The last 3 decades I played mostly huge be ks but that one was fine.

A good shape on a fat neck doesn’t get in anyone’s way.

I noticed that most of the online listings for the JTG MK1 reflect the same neck profile discrepancy between the build sheet and the listing description.

I think it's listed like thin C on all and us 59 std on all.
Unlike the US or Japan ones no options given

 

[gearJunkie]

Every build sheet I found online for JTG MK1's listed "STD Thin C" except for one...

 

[gearJunkie]

Received a response from the seller confirming it's a STD 59 neck profile.

Thanks for your order! The neck on this one is the standard '59 profile, not the STD Thin C. We can get in touch with James Tyler and see if they can send you an updated spec sheet since it's actually incorrect on their spec sheet.

Thanks again, this is a really incredible guitar!

So I got my Chinese Tyler SE-HD or as it's called JTG MK1.

I posted this over at TOP but figured someone might wanna know...

It is what it should be?.. a damn Tyler.
Import notwithstanding it does exactly what one expects. A Strat with a huge ass.
Not like others (to quote my friend Matte H.) tgat sound like the top only (no sides or back).

It has the same radius as the US ones, and the edges are more like the US model than the Japanese.

My point of comparison with boost off Landau Coma (and I like those) I'd take this any day over the Coma.
Compared to the Mexi Charvels, not even a contest.
Plus it came set-up so I didn't have to do FA. Shaky well dialed in for brand new after using travelled 5000 miles

As my drummer said, we gotta write a new tune just for this.

I can't wait to see it's sister, Jimburst Mongoose I'm waiting for.

As for transparency, I go back with Tyler decades. And Rich Renken had me give input on alit of things he worked on..

I'm sure someone is still gonna say I'm a shill.
Nevertheless, I'd friggin buy 2 of those then any 3600 bucks boutique thing.

And it's my fave lead sound, I will dig out the spec sheet after I'm done punishing it. Only got 5 hours straight on it :)

Plus I need to really A/B it to the US and Japan model. But the first impression is that it has the phat vibe like it's spensive bro more than it's neighbor.
