James Tyler James Tyler has had a guitar in his hands almost every day since he first picked one up the summer after seventh grade, in 1964. The Beatles had just hit it big and \Can’t Buy Me Love\ was at the top of the charts. Jim may not have been able to buy love but with the help of his parents he did get a Fender® DuoSonic® as his first real guitar. A Fender® Shenandoah® 12-string acoustic followed. As did lessons from Ted Greene and an introduction to the genius of Eric Clapton on the 1966 Bluesbreakers album which, Jim insists, is still some of the best guitar you’ll ever hear. He was hooked. In high school, Jim started taking apart his guitars “for no good reason” and putting them back together to tweak things or simply change the finish color. He got a handle on the basics of guitars and electronics, and started helping out friends when they needed work done. Jim helped pay his way through college by doing guitar repair work at local Los Angeles guitar stores. In the 1970s, he got connected with Norman’s Rare Guitars in the San Fernando Valley and became their main repair and restoration guy. Jim continued to refine his abilities and build his reputation, and in 1980 he opened his first repair shop in Reseda, CA. The 1980s were a high-time in the Los Angeles music and guitar scenes. People were into hot-rodding their guitars and as the “Superstrat” emerged, players wanted to add electronics and their perfect combinations of pickups and hardware to their guitars to yield a popular array of tones. At the same time, the L.A. studio scene was hitting its heyday with players like Dean Parks, Dann Huff, Michael Landau and Neil Stubenhaus. Neil was one of the first studio players to promote Jim’s expertise to other players – both bassists and guitarists. Jim started taking orders and making custom instruments using a myriad of parts from Schecter and Kubicki, and then had custom pieces made at Tom Anderson’s shop. During that time Jim moved his shop to North Hollywood, CA, and expanded to include one of the first high-end boutique stores for guitars, basses and bass gear. Situated next door to the Rhinestone Cowboy tailor himself, Nudie Cohn, there was no sign on the storefront, no advertising from the curtained windows and it was there that the “either you know or you don’t” mystique began. The following three decades brought a collection of stunningly creative guitars and basses, outrageous finishes, lauded pickups and a steadily growing roster of loyal artists. The most ambitious instrument, though, is the James Tyler Variax. Partnering with Line 6 gave Jim the opportunity to push guitar design into uncharted territory. The history of the electric guitar can be felt in each of the James Tyler Variax designs. A piece of every guitar Jim’s played, repaired or built since 1964 is in the soul of each curve and contour. Can you think of a better launch pad for Variax modeling technology? More About Line 6 Variax Technology The original Line 6 Variax® guitars debuted back in 2002 to an outstanding reception. Never before had guitarists been able to switch guitar tones without switching guitars, let alone create custom tones with Variax® Workbench™ software. Electronic Musician named Variax “Most Innovative Product,” Guitar Player named it “Best New Product,” EQ gave it an “Exceptional Quality Award,” and on and on. But a few years before that Line 6 wondered if creating such an instrument could even be done. Was it possible to capture the personality and tones of different guitars, put them all in one instrument and meet the needs of discerning players? So began an intensive research project into guitar physics. Test guitars were assembled that would make Dr. Frankenstein blush. Every factor that contributes to a guitar\s tone was systematically examined. Ways to measure the complex interactions of vibrating strings, resonant bodies and magnetic pickups were developed. More importantly, ways to capture these interactions mathematically – to make the sounds reproducible from a single guitar – were developed. As the measuring and modeling techniques were refined, a new and powerful hardware platform that could deliver shockingly accurate sounds was in production. Variax needed to have less noise than a standard humbucker, the ability to switch sounds in the time it takes to flick a pickup selector and be powered in a variety of ways. And, most importantly, perform flawlessly. As the body and brain neared completion it was time to create the soul. Amazing vintage instruments were auditioned to find the ones with the most distinctive voices and personalities. Painstaking measuring techniques were applied to these specimens. The guitar models underwent constant referral back to the originals for accuracy. Guitar models weren’t finished until they sounded like the originals and were as much fun to play. The result? A family of Variax instruments that grew to include three lines of electric guitars, two lines of acoustic guitars and two lines of bass guitars, each of which could deliver an entire guitar collection in a single instrument. Eight years after its debut, Variax returns with updated technology and a body designed by renowned luthier James Tyler.
