The midboost adds sustain and body in a very controlled way, avoiding the muddiness often associated with active circuits.  The switching system unlocks combinations like neck-and-bridge tones or series humbucker textures that go \u003cstrong\u003ebeyond traditional Strat-style wiring\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Super\" humbucker in the bridge position is a modern straight-up rock pickup. Strong low end and less mid-range push than the Shark or the California Special, but more top end and a nice presence. Great for high gain. Cleans up nicely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe extremely ergonomic standard 64 neck is \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt for comfort \u003c\/strong\u003ewhile not being too thin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James Tyler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52370027544708,"sku":"RHG862","price":8035.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4710\/8996\/files\/862-2.jpg?v=1783449777","url":"https:\/\/roundhillmusicco.com\/products\/james-tyler-studio-elite-hdx-pb-j-shmear","provider":"Round Hill Music Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
