James Tyler USA Studio Elite HD-X Floyd Rose Indian Rosewood Fingerboard Toxic Shmear 7.85 lbs

About This Guitar,

The Studio Elite HD‑X is not a brand-new model—it’s the same SE‑HD that players already know. But recently, the James Tyler team noticed that many customers ordering SE‑HDs were adding two popular options: the Add Neck & Bridge Button, which turns on the neck and bridge pickups at the same time, and the Series/Parallel Button for Bridge Humbucker, which switches the bridge humbucker between series and parallel mode. These two simple additions give players more tonal variety and finer control over sound details. Since they were being added so often, the team decided to make them standard and give this version a new name: Studio Elite HD‑X. That’s it—same SE‑HD, just with two smart buttons built in.
