There are a few differences: Japanese ones have a constant 11\" radius and more subtle edge-rolling on the upper frets, other than that you couldn't tell the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular model is a proper workhorse - Studio Elite HD with a very unique specification. Starting with a body wood called Mamywo. It is an exotic wood with tonal characteristics similar to lightweight mahogany. Then we have a quartersawn neck with quality grain and a satin-smooth feel. The neck profile is a standard '59, somehow borrowing from Gibson 59 neck but with more ergonomics (think a crossover between D and a V). Quite a lot of wood but it feels just right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOverall the sound exposes a very thick midrange and at the same time doesn't lack attack and definition in the upper frequencies. To try to put the sound in words: it has a Stratocaster-like roundness and a punch but with much more \"oomph\" (bottom of the sonic frequency range, or simply - bass). The pickup combo of two JT5500s and a Super humbucker is balanced in every position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cherry on top is a very special look - black, black black! Satin black all over around, even in the back of the neck! We can only imagine what it would look like with a black pickguard... not that we dare you! And those abalone inlays just shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisually the condition is very good, with no dings or serious scratches, which is especially hard to maintain on a satin black surface. Not even pick scratches. There are no damages to any part of the wood and the frets condition is 90%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecification:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Mamywo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: no\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Quartersawn Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck profile: Standard '59\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard: Indian Rosewood, radius 11\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 22, Jescar nickel-silver, wide-tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret inlays: abalone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: black TUSQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut width: 1 5\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: JT5500\/\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJT5500\/Super (slant)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Hipshot locking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Gotoh 510\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronics: Master volume, master tone, mid-boost preamp pot and switch, 5-way switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight flight case and certificates are included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"James Tyler Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46560119292228,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/2262\/4241\/files\/james_tyler_studio_elite_hd_japan_bbq_black_front_full.jpg?v=1682586871","url":"https:\/\/stringtaste.com\/en-eu\/products\/james-tyler-japan-studio-elite-hd-bbq-black","provider":"String Taste","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
