Preowned James Tyler Ultimate Weapon in Black/Turquoise

This Preowned James Tyler Ultimate Weapon model is custom done with a Black Top and Turquoise Back and Sides.

The James Tyler Ultimate Weapon is a masterclass in modern boutique lutherie, originally designed in 1993 for session legend Dann Huff to provide a radical, ergonomic alternative to traditional double-cutaway designs.

This specific instrument (Serial #25502) features a striking aesthetic contrast: a sleek Black Top paired with vibrant Turquoise Back and Sides.

Built on a solid mahogany foundation, this Ultimate Weapon offers a resonant, rich tonal core that distinguishes it from alder-bodied variants. The neck is a player's dream, featuring a Roasted Birdseye Maple construction for enhanced stability and a stunning visual "pop," capped with a premium Ebony fingerboard. Carved to the "Standard 64" profile, it provides a familiar, comfortable grip that feels like an old friend from the first note.

The electronics package is where this "Weapon" truly earns its name. It is equipped with a versatile HSH configuration: a Retro neck humbucker for warm, PAF-style clarity, an HCS-JTS5500 middle single-coil for balanced articulation, and the high-output Angry Retro bridge humbucker for commanding leads with significant bite. Combined with Tyler’s legendary Midboost Preamp (featuring a bypass button), this guitar allows you to shift from tight, vintage-voiced cleans to a round, fat, and saturated roar at the push of a button.

Condition Note: This instrument is in near-mint condition and comes complete with its original hardshell case, COA, paperwork, tremolo bar, and adjustment wrenches.
