This R1 model was ordered for a showcase of Tyler’s work at guitar shows held in China and Japan. It was pre-sold shortly after we announced the build.
Thankfully, the client allowed us to attend the shows with this guitar~

I love my work in this giving care community!

We’ll come back with the build thread once Tyler progresses.

The Spec will be on the next post~

Cheers

Alan

I had the chance to play and hear three of Tyler's guitars last weekend at the Artisan show. Very, very nice in all respects.

And to hear Hiroya Tsukamoto putting Tyler's guitars thru their paces in concert Saturday morning was an unexpected treat.

Thank you~ Tyler's going to get us more photos later~

Thank you for sharing your experience with Tyler's work! I wish I could be at the Artisan... I bet those R1s are fantastic!

And the video below is a improvisation play of that guitar.
The lower left corner of the video shows "No EQ, No Reverb, No Effects".
(Probably, they just used a condenser microphone for recording)

Awesome guitar, awesome playing! Thanks for sharing!
