Oct 2 2007

PCI: How did you find Raw Vintage pure steel saddles?

James: I found it at NAMM show 2007 and put these saddles (RVS-108) on my Signature Guitars.  I wanted high quality vintage saddles, which do not change my guitar tone.

PCI: Did Raw Vintage saddles meet your needs?

James: Yes, we will also use them for other series of guitars as soon as I get good quality of bridges from our suppliers.

PCI: Can you tell us more about your signature model guitar?

James: This is basically just everything I like.  Big fat V-neck, hollow ash body, 3 single coils but Telly pickup on the bridge, 6-screw bridge with Raw Vintage saddles and Demeter’s noise reduction circuit in it with mid boost etc.  Its kind a basic but the same time it’s real personal.

PCI: It is beautiful!  How many guitars will you make?

James: I am not sure yet.  Maybe 35 for 35-year anniversary of Tyler Guitars or 20 for 20-year anniversary of Studio Elite series?  I will try to start making as soon as possible.

PCI:  I am looking forward to it!  Thank you for your time for your time.
