Tyler Mongoose Retro Black (2012)

James Tyler's unique instruments are handcrafted with the utmost precision and attention to detail in Los Angeles, California. They are not only highly sought after by many session musicians and artists, but are also becoming increasingly popular and in demand worldwide, as evidenced by significant price increases in recent years. ...and what Tyler calls “Retro” would still be considered “Science Fiction” by other companies. Nevertheless, it must be said that Tyler still takes a very traditional approach here: singlecoil at the bridge, P90 at the neck and a 3-way switch. We can warmly recommend this Mongoose to anyone looking for classic sounds in a modern guise with the very best playability and workmanship. The quartersawn maple neck with a 9.5“-12” compound radius and a somewhat stronger '59 profile plays like a dream. The slightly higher frets are perfectly dressed. From classic Tele sounds to pearly, warm Blues tones – this is the right choice, if you want something more than a regular, classic Tele! ...and in terms of appearance, one can only ask what more could one want than the classic, elegant look of a deep black guitar. Simply awesome! So we are delighted to be able to offer you this special gem in top condition at a preferential price.
