The Fender Jim Root Telecaster is built for players who demand straightforward performance, crushing tone, and rock-solid reliability. Designed in collaboration with Slipknot and Stone Sour guitarist Jim Root, this signature model strips the Telecaster down to its essentials while adding modern appointments tailored for high-gain playing. A mahogany body and active EMG humbuckers deliver thick, articulate tones that excel under heavy distortion while maintaining clarity for clean passages.

Finished in Gloss Shoreline Gold, this version pairs a satin-finished maple neck with a 12" radius ebony fingerboard and jumbo frets for effortless bends and fast, comfortable playability. Locking tuners, a string-through-body hardtail bridge, and minimalist controls make the Jim Root Telecaster an uncompromising instrument built for the stage and studio alike.
