As the signature model of the riff mastermind from Slipknot and Stone Sour, the FENDER Jim Root Telecaster Shoreline Gold guitar impresses with powerful sounds that one would never have expected from its classic design. The mahogany body, combined with the active EMG humbuckers, delivers a powerful tone for tight, high-speed riffs, which play effortlessly thanks to the comfortable maple neck. Furthermore, the Fender Jim Root Tele is fitted with a classic hardtail bridge and locking tuners.

The Fender Jim Root Tele is based on the Telecaster design, which has been tried and tested since 1950; with modified details, it has evolved into a first-class metal guitar offering exceptional playing comfort. The body is crafted from mahogany for a powerful tone and features a rounded neck joint, allowing unhindered access to the higher frets of the bolt-on maple neck. With its ‘Modern C’ profile and flat ebony fingerboard, the neck provides the perfect foundation for any riff or solo.

Plugged into an amplifier, the FENDER Jim Root Telecaster also impresses with brutal sounds that take no prisoners and never lose their definition, even with the deepest drop tunings. This is primarily down to the active EMG 81 humbucker pickup at the bridge. With a tight bass foundation, razor-sharp mids and crystalline highs, it reproduces every note with precision, whilst its crisp attack enables expressive electric guitar playing. The EMG 60 at the neck, on the other hand, delivers a softer yet no less defined sound; it is perfectly suited to singing solos and harmonically resolved chords. The pickups are controlled directly via a 3-way blade switch and a master volume control.

The Fender Jim Root Telecaster is rounded off with robust hardware that withstands even the toughest daily grind on the metal stage with unshakeable reliability. The 6-saddle hardtail bridge, with strings routed through the body, supports a crisp attack, whilst six individually adjustable saddles ensure precise intonation and comfortable string action, even with down-tunings and thick strings. Furthermore, Fender Deluxe locking tuners on the headstock ensure precise and stable tuning.
