This 7.3lb Honeyburst beauty features a spalted bent maple top on a mahogany body, multi-layer white/black binding, white pearloid pickguard and a maple neck with an Indian rosewood fingerboard. Check out the peghead pic for a close look at Tyler's 'rolled' fingerboard edge at the first fret next to the low E!
Electronics are classic Tyler -- single volume and tone controls, 5-way switch and a Demeter mid-boost preamp with on/off button switch which is great for kicking in on leads. The Demeter mid-boost also manages to fatten out single-coil pickups to the point that they almost sound like full humbuckers.
Hardware includes locking HipShot tuners and a G2RV bridge with Raw Vintage saddles which replicate the heavier high-mass steel Fender saddles of old.

It has such a beautiful body, wonder why they settled for a headstock devoid of any creative curves.
I know what you mean. A spalted maple headstock veneer would have been interesting!
The Tyler headstock design is often a hot topic.
I don't dig it so much, but they're awesome guitars!
