This is a pretty awesome guitar looks!!

I would have this one but with a RW neck. Love the headstock. Looks like one that hasn't been finished to Fxxxx spec.

By the way, the guy who suggested to replace the neck: I suggest you go and play a Tyler neck just once. They are out of this world, really! You would never again make such a suggestion :O)

I'm going to bite my tongue.

The neck looks nice but thats it.

The rest...I'll be with twinfan biting my tongue.

the only thing i don't like about Tylers is the headstock and it's logo. seems odd to build things of beauty then top it off with such an ugly carbuncle.  there are many guitars with boring, generic looking headstocks, only a few have come up with genuinely attractive alternatives to the Fender/Gibson norm, but this one is just wrong!  musicman, Brian Moore, PRS, all good.  Charvel, dull.  Tyler, ooooooogly!!! :)

I like eveything except the red headstock - I'd prefer it to match the body.

The Lowell George style Tele bridge pickup is cool.

I have payed  few Tylers and indeed they were superb but I agree the headstock isn't great to look at. I'd go for a plainer colour too.

[FELINEGUITARS]

Tyler bodies and finishes rock, but the headstocks are ugly.

If I had one, I'd replace the neck to get rid of that headstock, save for one problem; the necks on those things are out of this world.

You've said it all!!

How can that headstock ever be a good idea? Maybe it could be re-cut?

+1

Tyler makes great guitars , but dont like the headstock myself

We are intending on using a tele bridge pickup on our Tabby Hybrid project - Tele styling with strat pickguard

Piledriver FTW :twisted:

But this is not my thing, even I liking Teles (looking forward to see the complete review of this " hybrid shape" by our Tele's Great Especialist: Roo! :D)

[Philly Q]

I think that hybrid look can definitely work!  :)

Sorry for staying OFF TOPIC but I'm really into the Tele/ Strat hybrid thing now.... REALLY versatile guitar indeed. Add the body contours and it makes for one of the most comfortable and useable guitars EVER!!

Getting back ON topic... those Tylers may have the strange Headstock, but they are fantastic guitars... up there with Suhrs, Grolsh (spelling?) and the like for sure.

 :lol:  Well yes, but only a bit!

I'd prefer to put something like that together from parts, and have my own choice of neck shape, hardware, pickups etc.  I do like the Strat/Tele hybrid idea though.

Spooky, was listening to Rock n Roll Doctor when i read that.

[Nolly]

That's so wrong it's almost right  :lol:
Somehow I've come to like the Tyler headstock, it's got it's own thing going on, and you can't deny the sustain benefits of more headstock mass. I don't think I quite like it enough to want to buy a Tyler though.

Jonathan's Tele/strat looks awesome so far!
